This is the most well-presented philosophical point I've seen in this thread.

What would he have to be proud about? Personally I think he'd be appalled at your approach to writing and reading.

Nah, that's a mangled version of the words of E A G Robinson: "The great merit of the capitalist system, it has been said, is that it succeeds in using the nastiest motives of nasty people for the ultimate benefit of society." from Monopoly published in 1941.

I was just going to say I'm sure Keynes would have had better English skills.

I'm not ashamed to admit that I long for Harbal's return from his philosophical Viking quest. I would like to eat chocolate while he curses at some people on these forums. Such a vision promises spiritual fulfilment far exceeding any other ideas I've seen presented by anyone. :mrgreen:
