How many times do we hear people use that phrase to emphasise the validity of their point of view, particularly economists?. What are people looking at when they say that? Usually its their own little narrow point of view, an opinion of theirs on some issue that’s affecting them. Now if we want to broaden out this point of view and start looking at what reality really is, then we might begin to see where we are really at and how we got here and how to improve our view of reality!!
Lets start with the big bang, a point where most scientific views start, not saying that there aren’t other points of view besides the most potent and nearly all encompassing scientific one. Lets move on a billion or so years and on a little third rock from a sun, a primordial life form appears. Initially an amoebic, split right down the middle and then are two of us amoebas, etc. Then a seismic shift towards male and female, and this brings about the multi diversity and potential for evolving that has shaped life on this planet. This evolution has been driven by rampant erect cocks(penises) looking for juicy wet pussy’s (vaginas) to insert the seed of his to further the genes of his one and only point of view. This would best describe the reality we find ourselves in right now.
So the next time we hear an economist saying “the reality is” think, cock.
