Are Americans crazy? I say no. What we
can see is mal-adaptive behavior. As
previously mentioned the evolution of free
markets and democratic systems, in terms of
economics is of greater influence than the
invention of the wheel.
What we are seeing worldwide are
populations consumed and absorbed in
instinctive behavior. The emergence of free
markets and democratic principles changes
the way mankind reasons intellectually. It
does not change the adherence to instinctive
behavior.
