When people think about something very important for you, is for someone else a trivial pursuit. (Of course as an economist you can justify it as 'you cant compare inter personal utility.yadi yada yada)..so considering tht u r intelligent and/ or not an economist you should feel something amiss.. when something important to u like the well being of India seem totally irrelevant to others...( the argument goes something like in another 50 years the individualism will be so strong that the concept of nation state may not be as relevant as you currently think. So as i see it there is actually enough diversity in the thought process ecosystem to warrant somebody's mission being called a trivial pursuit by someone else.
Maybe the economists are right in this regard..inter personal utility comparison is not only difficult but may be wrong and /or counterproductive.
why dnt u write sm simple stuff so tht lesser mortals like me can understand it.

ReplyDeletebut never say that someone else passion as trivial pursuit, it really hurts them. it is not wise also.. i am not saying it is not wise to think so.. but don't openly say so... u can only try to understand their passion, each person born earth is born.. with thumb impression which totally unique and so is he..to belittle what they is not wise on a learned person.
nation state is really artifical concept.. though there good reason.. all of which are arguable!
wisdom comes form experience,logic analysis not by reading books, most educated masses think, that is why most geniuses did not go to school...
