Question Digested!


Question Digested: 1447

Hooray!  One of my questions has been selected and published in an issue of the Internet Oracularities, volume #1447.  I received an average rating of 2.5 on a scale of 1 to 5, with votes from participating readers.  The distribution of votes was 3d850, where each digit represents the number  of votes of value 1, of value 2, etc.  Letters are used for digits beyond 9.  To participate in the voting yourself in the future, see the instructions at the top of each digest.

The Internet Oracle has pondered your question deeply.  Your question was:

Oh great and powerful Oracle ...

Which one of my brilliant lending facilities will save the global market from meltdown?

Will it be TAF, PDCF, TSLF, CPFF, MMIFF, or ABCPMMMFLF?

Or all of the above?

Sincerely,
Benjamin "Helicopter" Bernanke

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

Dear BenBern:

The answer that my omniscient vision has provided unto you through me is clear:

None of the above.

Not one of the lending organizations you list, nor indeed any that you may list, will bring about a saving influence to the current financial situation you mortals find yourself in.

As always, these matters are not problems that are solved by logical or external forces - they are caused and cured by the rampant emotions you humans so dearly cling to: in the case of materialistic monetary brokering, specifically Greed and Fear.

The solution you seek lies not in computational economic analysis and resources; the solution you seek is the Ultimate Realization of spiritual evolution, where the Witness of your psyche can be heard above the static of petty egotistical demands for vast differential improvement over your brothers and panic over the loss of same.

Hasten thee to an ashram, a kibbutz, a commune, or a Large Group Awareness Training; seek out a shaman, a mystic, a fakir or a therapist; become a monk, a Sadhu, a zaddik, or simply a humble person.  Purge yourself of greed and fear, and be an example unto those you would save.

Otherwise, you will continue to perpetuate the illusions of greed and fear, and you can see where that got you.

Thus hath I spoken, thus it shall be -Oracle
