Comments on: Stresses of Globalization http://chicagoboyz.net/archives/6299.html Some Chicago Boyz know each other from student days at the University of Chicago. Others are Chicago boys in spirit. The blog name is also intended as a good-humored gesture of admiration for distinguished Chicago boys including those pictured above.

His piece about how his own grandfather dropped everything and ran off to follow Napoleon Bonaparte... and how the professor confessed he'd probaly do the same thing if he saw the little corporal in the street was inspiring. Your posting of this quote is yet another example of 'Arete' of the mind. Something your blog produces on a regular basis. Thanks.

That’s one way to look at it.

Another way is that today’s catastrophes are little different from those of our ancestors.
They survived, so will we.

The interconnectedness of all things isn’t an illusion.
And it’s not something which someone in 1921 could presciently “project ahead” on.
It was always there.
The Butterfly Effect is quite real.
Most times, the butterfly flaps don’t ripple much… but sometimes, they go a long ways away.

It’s always amazing to see how keen observers of the human condition can project the implications of nacent trends to their logical conclusion well before the general population–or even other intelligent minds focused elsewhere–are aware of their existence, let alone their implications.
