[quote=walterwhite]doesnt the world also need cogs?[/quote]
By definition, the world needs mostly cogs. It’s that simple. Most folks aren’t cut out to be anything different than a cog. (Note I didn’t say “more than” a cog because there’s nothing inherently wrong with being a cog.) One of the unfortunate by-products of the Bubble is that lots of folks fancied themselves “entrepreneurs,” only to discover that their “success” (fleeting though it may have been) was only due to Bubble Conditions and not to their own brilliance. It’s much easier to remain a cog (having already been one) than it is to return to (or join) Cogville. And lots of folks are learning that the hard way in this post-Bubble world.
One of the reasons that unemployment is so high is that we have too many folks who view themselves as Chiefs (as a result of Bubble successes) and not enough who will accept that they’re (now) Indians. And Indians are critical.
