I’ve posted Podcast #113 to the “RobCasts” section of the site. It’s called “We May Be On the Brink of the Greatest Explosion of Intellectual Capital That the World Has Ever Seen.”
We are going through growing pains. We are trying to rise to higher levels of knowledge and freedom and wealth. We are being held back by our attachment to failed ideas of the past. The ultimate purpose of the economic crisis is to persuade us to let go of the loser ideas and to permit lots of good stuff to come flooding in.
I don’t know that you can say that the economic has a purpose per se. Maybe it’s better to think of it as an open opportunity.
