Funny that “realists” fancy themselves most realistic when they talk money and the economy, the ultimate abstractions. In the same breath, they dismiss the realest matters (health, relationships, environment, basic food and shelter) as “unrealistic” because they consume too much of that measuring unit we call money. Paraphrasing Alan Watts, they refuse to build a house because they don’t have enough inches.
