Summary

If you want to know how the world REALLY works, you must understand the counter-intuitive parts of life. Is it true that the better you know someone before marrying them, the better chance the marriage has of surviving? Should you postpone making an investment until you are 100% sure? Do you know what lies beyond the furthest star in the universe? What! You don’t? Edgar Allan Poe wrote The Raven while living in Baltimore—hence the name of the football team lucky enough to have Lamar Jackson. H. G. Wells wrote The Time Machine. What did both these writers understand that you don’t? Clue: Jewish mathematician, Hermann Minkowski and his student, Albert Einstein both knew it as well. And you need to know it too. Knowing this thing helps in understanding something terribly important: The views of money and marriage that I lay before you today spring from the reliable soil of ancient Jewish wisdom. It is a radical view. Money and marriage are doomed to fade away into mere shadows and only a kind of union of the two will preserve and independent reality.

0:00.0	The more the world changes, the more we find comfort in the things that never change.
0:06.1	This is Rabbi Daniel Lapin, on demand, on the Blaze Radio Network.
0:14.0	Welcome, oh, happy warrior, to the only show in the digital universe where I, your rabbi, reveal how the world
0:25.1	really works. And that today is truer than ever. Let me tell you about a guy called Simon
0:34.5	Newcomb, who died in the early years of the 20th century.
0:40.5	The guy was amazingly prolific. He taught himself economics, amazingly. and he taught himself astronomy. He actually played a role
1:01.4	at the United States Naval Observatory. He was measuring planets, using them as navigational
1:09.5	aids.
1:21.8	He got involved in measuring the speed of light with one of the creators of the famous Michelson-Mawley experiment of the 19th century.
1:27.1	It's really, it's pretty amazing stuff.
1:31.1	He got involved with economy.
1:36.7	He wrote something called the principles of political economy, taught himself completely.
1:42.3	And the economist John Maynard Keynes, who I didn't, I don't care for.
1:48.3	I think he caused a lot of economic problems of the 20th century. But he was certainly
1:53.8	lionized after World War II. But John Maynard Keynes, certainly no slouch, described Newcomb's work on the principles of political
2:04.4	economy as one of those original works which a fresh scientific mind, not perverted by having
2:11.5	read too much of the orthodox stuff, is able to produce from time to time in a half-formed
2:17.2	subject like economics.
2:19.8	So in other words, he got praised by John Maynard Keynes.
2:24.0	He did write in 1888, we are probably nearing the limit of all we can know about astronomy.
2:34.2	That is debatable.
2:36.2	I'm not automatically laughing at that statement because, well, astronomy is not so simple.
