Human minds, as full of love for the experience of life at we are, are so vacuous when it comes to understanding the mechanisms of life. What we need to recognize is our mistake in thinking that reality is what our minds knit together into pleasing images. Our most pleasing image is the development paradigm, using profit to multiply profit. It is also at heart a profound misunderstanding of the exponential function and our complete undoing.
