February 10 (King World News) – The Invisible Hand, Gold & Mainstream Media Propaganda

The commonly used words algebra and algorithm derive their provenance from the great Persian mathematician al-Khwarizmi who lived from c. 780 to c. 850. The Latin form of his name, “Algoritmi,” is the source of the terms we know so well. Another related technique is called heuristics. According to Wikipedia, heuristics are utilized instead of algorithms “where the exhaustive search is impractical” and “to speed up the process of finding a satisfactory solution via mental shortcuts to ease the cognitive load of making a decision.” That must also be the source of the term “no brainer.”

Whether we saw algorithms, heuristics or no brainers at the end of the week, we saw evidence of the “invisible hand” of the Wall Street and the central planning gang at work.”

Comment

I do not believe that "mental shortcuts" find "satisfactory solutions" to anything complex, and not to much that is simple either. 

Clearly, belief in mystical heuristics and mythical entities of an invisible hand is a balm-like mood of those who have given up thinking altogether.  It's the chronic gambler's delusion.
