you write very clearly, which is the hallmark of a good thinker. As a great modern thinker once said, that 'what can be thought clearly, can be said clearly.' You do both very well, so please consider yourself very well educated.
I must admit I had a laugh when you stated that you do not read Diver Dan because you don't understand her. I'll let you in on a little secret, I don't read her either. Not so much because of the complexity, although there is plenty of that, but because I don't want to understand. But that's just me. Believe it or not, as much as I enjoy trading, economics has always bored me. The market may be one means and measure of our fiscal world, but when it comes to trying to understand the causes of its movements, I'm with you and leave it for the complex types like Diver.
But let us be reminded too, there is beauty in complexity.
May I share with you a little story about a dear friend of mine. She left school at 14 years of age to become a plumber (all characters in my narratives are female). In her 50's, she decided to do an engineering degree. Wow, I thought, she had never even considered an 'x' as a number, never alone even seen complex equations. Anyway, she did some pre uni units and got through and began the degree.
On one of my rare visits home, hearing that I was in town, she called an asked for assistance on an assignment that she knew was in my field. No problem. I offered what help I could. During my next visit home a year later, the same encounter occurred. Bat Bitch, can you help with this assignment. There is a rocket re-entering the earth's atmosphere with a deaccelerating rate of ................Wait a minute friend. Rocket science is not my thing. Don't you have any simpler problems to solve?
The point is, she had far excelled beyond anything I could offer. She completed the course with distinctions and has returned now to plumbing. People are very complex creatures, but the best of them make life simple to understand. What you share with us here makes it all a little simpler for the rest of us (unlike that other tart). Please keep up the great work.
