According to Einstein, we are asking the wrong question.
"Whos to Blame Big Government or Big Business?
"Conservatives tend to believe that the captains of industry are virtuous and that the government cant be trusted.
"Liberals tend to believe that government servants are virtuous and that corporations cant be trusted.
"But the truth is that psychopaths are psychopaths whether theyre in the private sector or government.
"And there is no such thing as representative government or free market capitalism anymore. Big corporate money has coopted the government; and ill-guided politicians have destroyed the free market."
Al also supplied one possible answer to this (False) dilemma:
"Albert Einstein said:
"A foolish faith in authority is the worst enemy of the truth.
"Indeed, scientists have shown that people will go to absurd lengths - and engage in mental gymnastics in order to cling to their belief in what those in authority have said.
"Part of the reason so many are so vulnerable to naive belief in authority is that we evolved in small tribes and we assume that the super-elites are just like us.
"In reality, there are millions of psychopaths in the world and they are largely running D.C. and on Wall Street."
