If the efficient market theory is correct, there is no possibility, except a random chance, that any person or group could outperform the market, and certainly no chance that the same person or group could consistently do so. Warren Buffett

I am of the opinion that race is a myth, invented by Europeans in the 15th century, and the policies of government mandated affirmative action today are not only ineffective, they are again immoral. Culture is real, individuals are no myth, racism (and poverty, war, hunger, violence – even guns, or stupidity, value, or choice) cannot ever be eliminated by government, but especially not by racial preference.

G. B. Shaw to William Douglas Home: ‘Go on writing plays, my boy. One of these days a London producer will go into his office and say to his secretary, `Is there a play from Shaw this morning?’ and when she says `No,’ he will say, `Well, then we’ll have to start on the rubbish.’ And that’s your chance, my boy.’ George Bernard Shaw

It makes us sober; it makes us a little sad; and many of us it makes poetic. But above all, it makes it possible for us to make up our mind and arrange to live sensibly, truthfully, and always with a sense of our own limitations.If men believe, as I do, that this present earth is the only heaven, they will strive all the more to make heaven of it. Jean Riley Anderson
