Moving the lawn (law'n'order)
So, I mowed the lawn today, with the new electrical lawnmower. Hilde liked that, I guess most women appreciate it when we men do practical things.. :)Anyway, doing these chores gets the juices flowing. I had a dinner with Daniel Mikkelsen (http://dm.cl.no) on Saturday and we discussed some obscure heavy subjects.
It's interesting to see how development (understanding) is going in two ways, we find smaller and smaller things and build bigger and bigger things.
As Daniel said, you can't understand something bigger than yourself. Which is kind-of-true I guess. But we build societies and "grow bigger" and are able to, what can you call it, we're able to sustain longer, remember longer too as a society.
In Norway we have a social democratic politicial system, and the Scandinavian safety net and "jantelov" has made us more leveled-off I think. Progressing as a society.
Anyway, it's fun with the internet.. if we think of the nation as an organism, the internet is providing us with the neural network.
If you think about it, it is kind of funny. The nerves in the body are pretty quick, while the digestion/acquirements of energy and transport of energy and oxygen is slower. If wonder what the numbers are if you compare the body's nerve system and "energy handling" vs. nations and the internet and all that.
So, this capitalism thing. I haven't studied it but I guess I've "jukset i faget" and learnt thing from different perspectives.
The financial crises that have been are.. because of experimentation? Gambling? Greed? Lazyness? ...?
I dunno, but capitalism is, in progress-and-long-view-terms, a coopetition, where companies compete and experiment and serve as a transport mechanism and gearbox in society.
