REM-"It's the End of The World" & Why you should be a Rational Optimist

 

I love the R.E.M. song,  "It's the End of the World" because it illustrates the fleeting nature of crisis and popular imagination.  Matt Ridley, author of the excellent book "The Rational Optimist" makes the case for optimism in the human condition based on a factual reading of history.  The world is constantly evolving to a BETTER PLACE with more freedom, imagination and "ideas having sex"/
Enjoy.
