The Midas nudge

Talking about luck in the last Ovi magazine there is an article which says: “There is a notable difference in the dynamic social philosophies current in the USA and countries like Finland and comparable European countries.

In Finland, which is a small country with an overwhelming disposition towards social rationality, there is a realistic evaluation of its limited resources and capabilities and an understanding that the most valuable resource of the country is its citizens. There are fine creative artists, designers, engineers, scientists, writers, and all the other human specialties in both countries but the treatment of these valuable people differs in the USA and Finland.

The much larger US population has a much larger pool to draw from and the opportunities for perfection of capabilities and talents is treated as a high privilege there. The treatment of the arts in the public education system is filigreed with contempt in contrast to those capabilities which might be found useful in business operations. It is ironic that all of the arts which require great talent and long years of concentrated development are sources controlling large parts of the financial economy.”

I still think that the number of people gabling or playing all these kinds of lotto are far more that I would think of or comparing it with the population. I think in the end you are coming n the conclusion that the only way people find to escape from their mediocre life is to win the …lotto!
