It’s hard to believe that before the 1700’s, the pace of progress was so slow that it took roughly 350 years for a family to double its standard of living. Thus the average individual in the middle of the eighteenth century had no better than quality of life than the average individual 2000 years earlier,

The efficient market theory says that you can’t really beat the market because the market already has all the information available baked into the cake. So why bother? If this were true Warren Buffet, George Soros, Peter Lynch, and John Templeton would never have become billionaires. And interestingly each of these men made their fortunes directly betting against the efficient market theory.
Buffet, Lynch and Templeton were value investors looking for value where the market saw none and then waiting until the market came to its senses and Soros looked at broad trends and then made huge bets on unexpected events. From 1973 through the late 1980s, he ran his own hedge fund,  often racking up returns of more than 30% per year and twice posting annual returns of more than 100% while the overall market averaged 10%. According to Investopedia, Soros “believed that financial markets can best be described as chaotic.” Quite the opposite of an efficient market.

he rise of humans from fearful creatures huddled around cave fires to the dominant species on the planet largely parallels the evolution of weaponry. Different subgroups rose and fell, spreading their culture or declining in influence as they either came up with the new best thing with which to slaughter their neighbors or fell behind in the innovation game. Club, axe, spear, atlatl, sword, longbow, crossbow, catapult, gun, bomb, artillery, really big bomb—all have had their day.

We even delineate historical epochs by naming them after the dominant weapon technology of the time: Stone, Bronze, Iron, and the modern era, which might accurately be termed the Gunpowder Age. Over time, the one constant has been to invent a technology that conferred an advantage on the user in battle—or else served as protection against what the other guy had. And the reason for wielding any given weapon has always been to maim or, preferably, kill one’s adversary. Before one got one’s own self killed, of course.
