Wealth Creation

There are three ingredients. It is the entrepreneur who spins the wheel and mixes the colors to create the painting. Free trade means more permutations and combinations become possible.

Collective Identities Change Over Time

Each new generation will see it slightly differently. What is the primary collective identity you identify with? That might or might not be true for your children and grandchildren. As political systems mature, the individual becomes the center of the universe. And that is a good thing. Even the collective identity is an individual thing. As people and cultures mix, new identities will emerge from old ones. It is kind of like when you shake up the kaleidoscope. The ingredients are not gone, but they show up in new formats. There is mixing and remixing.

Rising Tide

Put a dollar sign on every forehead on the planet. That is how much that person makes in a year. It is possible to design a political, economic, social infrastructure such that that amount increases on every single forehead moving into the future, more or less. India will get richer, China will get richer, America will get richer.

Racist Comments

Usually when someone makes a racist comment, that is the tip of the iceberg. Beneath the water's surface is the value system from which those racist comments come upto the surface.

Words matter. They are the only things that do. You create social reality with the words you speak. That reality can be created and recreated.
