When greed meets bafflement, and the anti-aporia reflex of Masters of Reality is overridden by fever dreams of  striking it even richer, all kinds of awkward enthusiasm is released into the world. Some of it is true and most of it is tasteless. Market bubbles are inflated with the laughing gas of enthusiasm.

Few know that the word “enthusiasm” was originally a pejorative.

When bubbles burst, enthusiasm recovers its disgrace.

But never forget: spirit is also air.

It’s a gas, gas, gas.
