“Everyone Loves to Enjoy the Benefits of Progress. But No One Wants to Be the One to Tell the Ones Who Made It Rich Pushing the Old Idea That a New and Much Better Idea Has Come Along.”

Set forth below is the text of a comment that I recently posted to the discussion thread for another blog entry at this site:

I watched moneyball.  There was no middle school kid trying to teach the pros.

That’s not how the pros saw it. The scouts portrayed in that movie were every bit as upset about the idea of people learning about what the science showed as our Wall Street Con Men friends. It’s a story as old as humankind itself. Everyone loves to enjoy the benefits of progress. But no one wants to be the one to tell the ones who made it rich pushing the old idea that a new and much better idea has come along. What we are living through today is the stuff that we need to work through so that we can all begin living better lives in days to come.

My sincere take.
