More From John Maynard Keynes

The opposite of compromise is not integrity. the opposite of compromise is not idealism. the opposite of compromise is fanaticism and death. and yes, i know one or two things about fanaticism and death, and i reject them. the alternative to fanaticism and to death is not some miraculous realization that someone has been wrong and he has to apologize. no, the answer to fanaticism and to death is curiosity and compromise and concession.
Integrity Curiosity Realization
If you establish a democracy, you must in due time reap the fruits of a democracy. you will in due season have great impatience of public burdens, combined in due season with great increase of public expenditure. you will in due season have wars entered into from passion and not from reason; and you will in due season submit to peace ignominiously sought and ignominiously obtained, which will diminish your authority and perhaps endanger your independence. you will in due season find your property is less valuable, and your freedom less complete.

We need to employ a secular approach to ethics, secular in the indian sense of respecting all religious traditions and even the views of non-believers in an unbiased way. secular ethics rooted in scientific findings, common experience and common sense can easily be introduced into the secular education system. if we can do that there is a real prospect of making this 21st century an era of peace and compassion.
Religious Real Compassion
One of the great drivers of the alienation that has made donald trump possible is that the growth in the american economy has been weak. in the decade from 2005 to 2015, there was not one year when the us hit three per cent growth. and to the extent there's been growth, virtually all of it has been collected by the top 10 per cent of the population. obviously, if we knew how to make growth faster, we would. we don't. and it's very difficult to make growth more broadly shared. because it's not just the us that has this problem.

When did atheists become so evangelical? i mean, if you don't believe something to be true, wouldn't you just ignore it? that's certainly what i do. whether it's leprechauns or a congressional debt reduction plan - if i'm convinced it's fiction, i simply put it out of my mind. not the atheists. they are obsessed with faith and religious practice. their identities and their works are one big reaction to that which they hate. no longer content to simply dismiss god and those who follow in him, the new atheists have created a cult of unbelief.

I don't really know if it's the right thing to do, making new life. kids grow up, generations take their place. what does it all come to? more hills bulldozed and more ocean fronts filled in? faster cars and more cats run over? who needs it?
