I want the world to be better for everyone

I'm an economist. Now I hate economics. Don't get me wrong: it's why I am the way I am, and for that I'm thankful. Problem is this field is the study of limited resources. And this definition flies in the face of the one resource on our planet that has no limit - us. And that's only 1 unlimited resource! I want to harness these unlimited resources, because it will mean "standards of living" are also unlimited - to us! And that will mean the greed will go away. Nothing to do but blog.

Ayn Rand

"Reason"? Then how did you "reason", Ayn, AT ONCE both:

1. in addressing "all the propaganda of the ecologists", she said human behavior in a "state of nature" "on the level of sea urchins or polar bears" isn't survivable.

2. yet if we don't act in our own self-interest (you know, like sea urchins or polar bears) then we're not only irrational, but immoral.

I CAN be altruistic, Ayn Rand, therefore I do my level best at it.
