Dumb Jocks and the U.S. Economy

You get a cult of stupidity, which comes out of the jock phenomenon. We still have this jock mentality. The jock mentality expresses itself in the organizing process, in the phone teams, for example, the Baby Boomer phone teams. They won't. They will come up with some piece of bullshit, absolute bullshit.



Let's take the case of the economics issue. We have no one, who actually has ever presented, a competent understanding of the economics issue. {None!} They write things, which are passable, from the standpoint of accounting in the past, but they never are competent on the current issues. That's why I had to go on this thing, and take over, one day.

Money is not value. Money does not define value. What defines value is physical, physical economic. And the key to physical economic, is what? It's creativity. The kind of creativity we associate with Classical artistic composition, and
with physical science -- competent physical science, of which there's very little, today! Hmm? We killed off competent science. We saved some of it, with the space program, the activation of it by Kennedy and company. But then, that was crushed! The U.S. economy has been collapsing ever since the end of World War II! It was already collapsed by Truman. It's been collapsing ever since: You have this spurt around Kennedy. But everything has been a collapse. And the spurt around Kennedy was two things: The defense of the steel industry, against those who
wanted to shut it down; and secondly, the space program.

The space program was the highest generator of productivity, we've had. And it was particularly after the Kennedy period, when it was accelerated as a program, but was shut down in '67-68 -- before the Moon shot! The Moon shot was done on based on
technology which had already been developed. And the rate of development of technology had collapsed, began to collapse in '67-68, with fiscal year 67-68, where whole sections of the research program were shut down! Especially in Massachusetts,
for example, the Route 128, which was a big factor -- shut down!

The U.S. economy has been collapsing, in fact, {physically}, since Truman! Truman shut down the economy. Why? How was it shut down? Think about it. When and how did the shutdown occur? Roosevelt died -- the day after Roosevelt died. Truman.
