(1) Mankind like what we are familiar with (spawn of the devil: rock & role, Cubism, automobile), (2) a few of us see ways to polish the rough edges of the known, (3) a few visionaries walk among us, their vision is not shared, but derided. As good a way as any to see what the future might become is to listen for the derision of the majority. Why did the Economist support the Gold Standard? How did the Economist come to echo the opposition? E.g. land deed's on the cover of the current issue (in China)? Once abhorent, then revolutionary, soon inevitable? I read the Economist because the magazine calls out those things commonly derided but gaining a few strategic pockets of support. Such strategic pockets calling out for change often harken significant change. I take the responsibility to apprehend the harkenings, note them, and look to see if/how the color of the harkening is reflected in tomorrow's vision come today. People don’t change.
