Nassim Taleb tweeted few days ago: “You can be certain that the CEO of a corp has a lot to worry about when he announces publicly that “there is nothing to worry about”. This reminds me that David Kelsey hooked me up with a Shalom Auslander quote: “I was raised on a steady diet of Holocaust films, books, newsreels, and stories. By ‘never again,’ it was clear that my teachers meant ‘again.’ They meant, ‘Bet on it.’ They meant, ‘Hide some cigarettes in your underpants, you can trade them for bread.” The orthodox culture today is the expectation and assumed behavior that must trigger another destruction. And then there finally will be a relief, thank God the world still functions as it supposed too, there is a supreme order and at the root of that order are the sacrificed Jews, they inevitably must be slaughtered for this all to makes sense. Jews never wait for a messiah they always expect another destruction and it defines every fiber of the culture.
There Finally will be a Relief
