Next Economy and Faith for Empiricists

Let’s be clear: Justice is not an immutable law of nature. Neither math nor physics nor chemistry recognizes justice as one of the universe’s governing principles. The strong, rich, and powerful have, since long before humans emerged, by and large taken what they wanted, when they wanted, and never counted the costs to those they took it from. Despite what Socrates may have said, justice has forever occurred, at best, in fleeting, ephemeral flashes. We yearn for a god capable of seeing and ultimately judging all rights and wrongs — because we know we can’t be counted on to do it ourselves. Small wonder that the legend of Robin Hood – the original 99 percenter — still resonates after 800 years.
