I thought that they were going to bring in the shrink to say how these “suburban survivalists” should be paying him $100 per hour instead of Rawles, but look what he said:
Art Markman, a cognitive psychologist, said he’s not surprised by the reaction of some to the nation’s financial woes, even though it may seem irrational. In an increasingly global and automated society, most people are dependent on strangers and systems they don’t understand — and the human brain isn’t programmed to work that way.
“We have no real causal understanding of the way our world works at all,” said Markman, a professor at the University of Texas. “When times are good, you trust that things are working, but when times are bad, you realize you don’t have a clue what you would do if the supermarket didn’t have goods on the shelves and that if the banks disappear, you have no idea where your money is.“
No idea where you money is? HAHA It’s much worse when you have no idea what your money is! Hint: U.S. Dollars are pieces of paper, or values in computer systems, that are backed by failing government bond auctions.
