It like the difference between micro and macro economics.You may think you understand the workings of one firm, one rational, utility-maximizing individual, or one stand-alone OT thread. And you may be right or wrong, even then.But how can one grasp the whole system - all firms, all governments, all individuals, rational, irrational, and everything in between. And what is utility maximization anyway?Threads intersect, discussions take place behind Off and then off the Forum completely.You cannot see it all, even with the finest electron microscope, or most powerful radio telescope.Time to give up on understanding everything and just exist. **PS: It is not weird - the OT is ever so slowly getting better - approaching what it used to be in the Renaissance.
