Having previously missed my metaphor, we reach again.
Behold a traveling dude.
He knows his place and hopes we know ours. (we do)
He graces us with his elegance, his subtlety of movement, his ability to hear less than a whisper.
He moves on silent feet, watching, listening, wondering.
Okay, enough romanticizing.
The Wild is not necessarily cruel and neither is it kind.
What it is, is balanced.
The Wild understood economics long before Two-Legs ever considered the term.
For that matter, few (if any) Two-Legs truly understand the entirety of economics.
My first time through college, my first term, I had an economics survey course twice a week, 7:45-9am.
I went to the first class, the mid-term, and took the final. Never opened the book. Got a “C.”
That class pretty much convinced me economics was a joke, a waste of time.
Years (!) later I read Taichi Sakaiya’s The Knowledge-Value Revolution and both veil and vale were lifted. Since that time I’ve applied economic theorems to everything from energy systems to communication systems to marketing to cosmologic concepts and all and everything in between with great success.
But The Wild?
Remember the words of Pivey T. Krapnec…
