A tale by Desert Cat
“Sir, according to our calculations, we should have just entered orbit around the moon.”
“You’re sitting in the parking lot.”
“No, sir, we should be in orbit now.”
“I’m looking out my window right now. I see you in your pod talking to me.”
“Sir, that cannot be. We have carefully checked our calculations. We are in orbit. Shall we initiate the landing sequence?”
“Look, you’re not in orbit around the moon. You did not get off the ground on earth. You’re sitting in your pod in a parking lot behind the building, talking to me on your cell phone. Look out the window of your pod. What do you see?”
“I can’t, sir.”
“What?”
“I can’t look out the window.”
“Why not?”
“It doesn’t fit with our calculations.”
“Oh FFS! I am ordering you to look out your pod window! Now, I am waving at you from my office window. What do you see?”
“…”
“Hello?”
“…”
“What do you see?”
“Sir?”
“Yes?”
“Sir, you may not believe this, but I think we’ve come face to face with an alien life form.”
“Huh?!”
“It is a large, cube-shaped craft, hovering next to our pod. The aliens appear to be trying to hail us…”
Truly excellent work. It is becoming evermore apparent to those who are cognizant of a reasonable range of economic theories that the more stubbornly the Neo-Keynesians cling to their econometric models, the further from reality they will find themselves.
