Our readingWhat is a korrent?
Drawn from what Steve Jobs said
optimism Expecting things to go well: whether it is what gets things built, or a bias that forecasts keep paying for.
capitalism Markets as a system rather than a market: what it is for, what it costs, and what people mean when they say they are retiring from it.
The networks are in business to give people exactly what they want. That's a far more depressing thought. Conspiracy is optimistic! You can shoot the bastards! We can have a revolution! But the networks are really in business to give people what they want. It's the truth.
