4) it’s also validated the sneaking suspicion that things can get worse, rather than better. I always had the belief in progress. Some Enlightenment vestigial. things change but they don’t necessarily change for the better. It’s not me, it’s science

p140: “Although there is every reason to want a thriving economy, there is no particular reason to want the GNP to go up.” If the US has the greatest economy, highest growth… why is everyone so cheesed off? Because it’s not a thriving economy… it’s just GNP going up because everything costs more…
