"I apologize in advance for kind of running in the red today. Like in Pulp
Fiction, I'm a race car in the red. And I say that as a white dude. I can't
even imagine what other people, especially women, are feeling at this moment
today. And I also like to preface what I'm about to say with the admission that
I am not an economist. I would also like to say that I am not an astrologist. I
just haven't studied astrology enough to tell all of you which one of twelve
personality types you all are, and exactly what's going to happen to you today
based on where the planets and stars were when you were born.
If I have offended some people who believe in astrology out there, I'm sorry,
but what you believe in is a pseudoscience that doesn't reflect reality. And if
I've offended some economists out there just now by suggesting that economics
is like a pseudoscience built on mythologies, then I also apologize to you if
I've offended you. Here's something that offends me - building a science on top
of myths. Here's a myth that economics is built on top of - the myth that every
human is selfish. That is a myth. Humanity is where we are today
because we
are collaborative species. It's amazing where we are today, because of our
inherent social nature, and desire to work together. So to assume that we're
all selfish is just bullshit."
