John Maynard Keynes' Sexual Perversion and Monetary Madness
“Long run is a misleading guide to our affairs. In the long run, we’re all dead.” John Maynard Keynes
The last phrase of the above quote…just six words, “In the long run, we’re all dead,” reveals something foundational about Keynes’ thinking. I think it merits discussion, as he is widely believed to be the most influential economist of the the 20th century.
Apparently, because he won’t be around to witness what life will be like for generations of people that follow him, why should he care? Why should anyone?
There’s the rub. Those of us who have children, and who love our children care deeply about the kind of world they’ll be inheriting after we’re gone. That’s just natural, and it’s a good thing.
Keynes didn’t have children. What he did have was a very influential group of friends. Just after the turn of the 20th century, he and other writers and artists found fame and fortune as members of the Bloomsbury Group, named after a district in London where many of them shared they’re sexual, literary and artistic exploits.
It’s also interesting to note that fame followed acceptance in this group, not the other way around.
Members like Virginia Woolf, Lytton Strachey and others would set the world on fire and spread a brave new culture based on rejecting what they considered to be boring and repressive traditional values. The traditional family, faithfulness in marriage, and so on.
Keynes, for his part, kept detailed records of sex with lots and lots of partners, men, women, boys and girls. This should come as no surprise as we are now coming to understand how prevalent pedophelia is among the elites.
And it’s not hard to see, now that we’ve gone down this dark, short-sighted Keynesian road for so many decades, that the author’s recklessness and lack of self-control or moral sense infected his thinking regarding economic policy as well as his personal life.
The fact that his economic philosophy was adopted by the US as its official monetary policy is a great tragedy in light of the fact that the good people who laid down their very life during the American Revolution did so to free the people from the tyrannical monetary control of the British Empire.
Keynes seemed to relish his own freedom when it came to his sex life…but freedom for the productive American was of no interest to him. His view was that the economic life of Americans should be dictated by intellectuals working for the government, not the free and voluntary creative activities of growers, inventors, workers, and artists. His twisted thinking has cost us dearly.
Indeed, the triumph of Keynesian Economics has assured that the philosophically or morally astute would be hard pressed to survive in Washington D.C. or in the government controlled corporate media, whose atmospheres are now so thick with self-serving and truth denying sycophants, that confusion rules the day in this now deeply divided country.
Keynes’ apparent philosophy of “live for today,” brings to mind the famous occultist Alistair Crowley’s creepy philosophy “Do What Thou Wilt,” not to mention the Hollywood casting couch culture which, like Washington DC and corporate media, has lost much of its shiny veneer over this past decade, thanks to the independent media and the whistleblowers who have witnessed the ugly underside of these sub-cultures up close and personal.
So, now what? Where are we?
WE Are Here. Standing in line at the grocery store, worrying about putting food on the table as the dollar’s buying power shrinks, while we stare at the tabloids, whose editors assume we’re still interested in the next Hollywood divorce, betrayal, sex or drug scandal.
WE Are Here. Taking our kids to see the Cubs in Chicago, as we walk past the pornographic display windows of a string of S & M Leather ’n Chain Shops in Boys Town, just down the street from the ball park.
WE Are Here. Writing a check to the IRS so the government can pay the interest on our $20 Trillion national debt, and dish out thousands for abortions and sex change operations.
WE Are Here. Wondering if you can ever afford to buy your own home or have even one child.
WE Are Here. Wondering what it would mean for that child’s future to be born with an automatic $40,000 dollar debt strapped to its ankle.
WE Are Here. Learning about child trafficking, pedogate, and Jeffrey Epstein’s Lolita Express at the same time pedophiles are crying out to be redefined as merely having a perfectly acceptable preference for sex with kids.
That’s where we are…in other words…we’re at the end of the road, and the only thing we can bet on is this…it’s going to be very rough for quite a while.
It a huge point! We suffer from generational narcissism. It is the end of the road for our form of homo sapiens. See the new book Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow (Yuval Noah Harari).
