The local Free Press' columnist Joe Steinberger again grabbed my attention this week with his "explicit rejectionist rhetoric". The column entitled "The Gates of Hell" asks: "Why would God want to do anything but send us straight to hell? The seven deadly sins, in alphabetical order, are envy, gluttony, greed, lust, pride, sloth, and wrath. Tell me, in which of these seven are we not wallowing right up to our eyeballs? "
Ah, none of them?!? Just look at the collapse of the Red Sox in September and you can "see" that Mgr Francona's "implicit trust" in his players was ruined by the "Deadly 7". Steinberger asks us to "see" the ruination of America not the ruination of the Red Sox's season. Macro vs Micro?!?
I need to move into "The Black Swan & Me" as was my INTENTION in this blog sphere but I keep getting distracted. I will leave the distractions behind and move into Taleb's ideas next blog.
Cheers
