The Genius of Christopher Nolan
The word and title "inception" is itself an act of "inception." The audience accepts the definition of this word given in the movie (putting an idea into another person's mind without that person noticing it), even though this is a made-up meaning, and the actual meaning of the word (a beginning) becomes hidden. The real meaning of the word is what the film is actually about.

The baseball-card bubble
The Federal Reserve was perhaps to blame. In 1994, then under the control of Mr Volcker’s successor, Alan Greenspan, it began a series of interest-rate increases that squeezed an economy that had not fully recovered from the previous recession

ANSWER TO JOHN CORT Dorothy Day
One of the saddest things about this whole controversy is that our opponents look upon agrarianism as visionary. Here is what Chesterton said about such a criticism:
G.K. Chesterton, The Outline of Sanity (London : Dodd & Mead, 1937).THEY SAY IT (THE PEASANT SOCIETY) IS UTOPIAN, AND THEY ARE RIGHT. THEY SAY IT IS IDEALISTIC, AND THEY ARE RIGHT. THEY SAY IT IS QUIXOTIC, AND THEY ARE RIGHT. IT DESERVES EVERY NAME THAT WILL INDICATE HOW COMPLETELY THEY HAVE DRIVEN JUSTICE OUT OF THE WORLD; EVERY NAME THAT MEASURE HOW REMOTE FROM THEM AND THEIR SORT IS THE STANDARD OF HONORABLE LIVING; EVERY NAME THAT WILL EMPHASIZE AND REPEAT THE FACT THAT PROPERTY AND LIBERTY ARE SUNDERED FROM THEM AND THEIRS, BY AN ABYSS BETWEEN HEAVEN AND HELL.10

Blackstone Public Assistance
The law not only regards life and member, and protects
every man in the enjoyment of them, but also furnishes
him with every thing necessary for their support. For
there is no man so indigent or wretched, but he may demand
a supply sufficient for all the necessities of life, from
the more opulent part of the community, by means of the
several statutes enacted for the relief of the poor, of which
in their proper places. A humane provision; yet, though
dictated by the principles of society, discountenanced by
the Roman laws. For the edicts of the emperor Constantine,
commanding the public to maintain the children of
those who were unable to provide for them, in order to
prevent the murder and exposure of infants, an institution
founded on the same principle as our foundling hospitals,
though comprized in the Theodosian code, were rejected
in Justinian's collection.

GK Chesterton and Ezra Pound
... became friends as of 1934-1935. In the 1935 letter, EP says "we are all three [EP, GKC, Hilaire Belloc] against Shaw, Wells, etc...." Canto 45 is published in 1937.
St. Hilaire and St. Trophime in Canto 45 are probably puns on Hilaire Belloc and GKC (Trophimos means one who feeds or one who is fed in Greek, and GKC was notoriously well-fed).

Belloc Free Press
But what I do not see is the avenue whereby the great mass of the people can now be restored to an interest in the way in which they are governed, or even in the re-establishment of their own economic independence.[Pg 99]
So far as I can gather from the life around me, the popular appetite for freedom and even for criticism has disappeared. The wage-earner demands sufficient and regular subsistence, including a system of pensions, and, as part of his definition of subsistence and sufficiency, a due portion of leisure. That he demands a property in the means of production, I can see no sign whatever. It may come; but all the evidence is the other way. And as for a general public indignation against corrupt government, there is (below the few in the know who either share the swag or shrug their shoulders) no sign that it will be strong enough to have any effect.
All we can hope to do is, for the moment, negative: in my view, at least. We can undermine the power of the Capitalist Press. We can expose it as we have exposed the Politicians. It is very powerful but very vulnerable—as are all human things that repose on a lie. We may expect, in a delay perhaps as brief as that which was required to pillory, and, therefore, to hamstring the miserable falsehood and ineptitude called the Party System (that is, in some ten years[Pg 100]or less), to reduce the Official Press to the same plight. In some ways the danger of failure is less, for our opponent is certainly less well-organized. But beyond that—beyond these limits—we shall not attain. We shall enlighten, and by enlightening, destroy. We shall not provoke public action, for the methods and instincts of corporate civic action have disappeared.
Such a conclusion might seem to imply that the deliberate and continued labour of truth-telling without reward, and always in some peril, is useless; and that those who have for now so many years given their best work freely for the establishment of a Free Press have toiled in vain, I intend no such implication: I intend its very opposite.
I shall myself continue in the future, as I have in the past, to write and publish in that Press without regard to the Boycott in publicity and in advertisement subsidy which is intended to destroy it and to make all our effort of no effect. I shall continue to do so, although I know that in "The New Age" or the "New Witness" I have but one reader, where in the "Weekly Dispatch"[Pg 101] or the "Times" I should have a thousand.
I shall do so, and the others who continue in like service will do so, first, because, though the work is so far negative only, there is (and we all instinctively feel it), a Vis Medicatrix Naturæ: merely in weakening an evil you may soon be, you ultimately will surely be, creating a good: secondly, because self-respect and honour demand it. No man who has the truth to tell and the power to tell it can long remain hiding it from fear or even from despair without ignominy.To release the truth against whatever odds, even if so doing can no longer help the Commonwealth, is a necessity for the soul.

A SUMMARY OF THE 2015 ANNUAL REPORTS Social Security and Medicare Boards of Trustees
Social Security’s total expenditures have exceeded non-interest income of its combined trust funds since 2010, and the
Trustees estimate that Social Security cost will exceed non-interest income throughout the 75-year projection period. The
Trustees project that this annual cash-flow deficit will average about $76 billion between 2015 and 2018 before rising
steeply as income growth slows to its sustainable trend rate after the economic recovery is complete while the number of
beneficiaries continues to grow at a substantially faster rate than the number of covered workers.

Clear Thinking on Race
Take Brown v. Board of Education, the Court’s most important decision in the 20th century. Sowell does not discuss it, but the Court’s unanimous opinion was a mess. With its reliance on the results of an experiment involving black children who showed a preference for white over black dolls, it barely qualified as constitutional reasoning. Let’s leave the Constitution aside: What was the evidence that black children, as a consequence of segregation, acquired “a feeling of inferiority . . . unlikely ever to be undone”? Or that their preference for the white dolls was a sign of low esteem? The doll study had numerous flaws, including the sample size and the lack of a control group. But, most important, a study by the same researcher, Kenneth Clark, found that black children in a northern state without segregated schools were even more likely to prefer the white doll than those in the Jim Crow South.

Barbarism
It may seem at first sight unjustifiable to describe ancient cultures of this kind as barbaric. But barbarism in the sense in which we are using the word is by no means the same thing as savagery. It is applied to any stage of social develop- ment which has not acquired the higher organisation of a settled urban and territorial state — in short, to the culture of the tribe as against that of the city. The essence of bar- baric society is that it rests on the principle of kinship rather than on that of citizenship or that of the absolute authority of the state. It is true that kinship is not the only element in tribal society; in practically every case the territorial and the military factors also intervene. But whereas in a civilised state the unit is the individual or the economic group, the unit of tribal society is the group of kinsmen. A man's rights depend not on his direct relation to the state, but on his position in the kindred, and in the same way crime is not conceived as an offence against the state, but as an occasion of feud or negotiation between two groups of kinsfolk. The guilt of blood lies on the whole kindred of the slayer and must be atoned by compensa- tion to the kindred of the slain. It is true that the higher political unit of the tribe or clan does not necessarily consist of men of common blood, though they are apt to claim such unity by some genealogical fiction. It is usu- ally a territorial or military union of groups of kinsmen.
