Mike Krieger On Why 2011 Is Not 2008 – Why It Is Much Worse – And On Dow-Gold Parity
“I remember as a kid on several occasion putting together a time capsule as part of a school project. I am sure many of you reading this have done a similar thing at some point. The concept is simple and elegant. The group involved in creating the time capsule picks various things from their current society or culture that they feel is representative of the environment at the time and then they bury these items so that future generations can get a glimpse of what life was like for people in a prior time. The reason humans have a desire to perform acts such as this is because our collective consciousness understands how much things change over time. Empires rise and fall, major belief systems dominate and then become discredited, broad concepts of what is considered acceptable human behavior with respect to our fellow human beings also change and vary within different cultures over time. Everyone knows the saying “nothing is certain except death and taxes.” Actually this is garbage. “
