Today we think little about how electricity gets into our homes, how food on such massive scale is grown and processed to feed billions of us, or how much discretionary time we enjoy as we are entertained.   We live in a time of scientific and technical marvels.  We live as we do because of the passion and dedication of creators.  Science, technology and the business environment and structures, especially the laws and regulations that govern capitalism, to incentivize the industrialization of creations that make our lives so much better.  My friend Parker, caused me to think quite a bit about this, he said that creation is a form of worship.  That is an interesting thought.

As an example he mentioned Norman Borlaug, and his invention of hybrid wheat that helps ensures that the human population has no reason to experience famine as we had witnessed in the 1960’s.  A very good article I was reading this morning addresses the history of wheat, https://www.economist.com/special-report/2005/12/20/ears-of-plenty.

I have more to say on this, but today’s post is being interrupted by a very exciting British Open.

Enjoy!
