My education was dominated by modernist thinkers and artists who taught me that the supreme imperative was courage to face the awful truth, to scorn the soft-minded optimism of religious and secular romantics as well as the corrupt optimism of governments, advertisers, and mechanistic or manipulative revolutionaries.

Meine Ausbildung wurde von modernistischen Denkern und Künstlern dominiert, die mir beigebracht haben, dass der oberste Imperativ Mut war, sich der schrecklichen Wahrheit zu stellen, den weichherzigen Optimismus religiöser und säkularer Romantiker sowie den korrupten Optimismus von Regierungen, Inserenten und Mechanisten zu verachten manipulative Revolutionäre.

Apple and Google want to create encryption for which they could not provide you the key. Their business model will not survive if the American government has a special relationship with them that requires them to surrender this kind of information.

It is worth noting that 'too big to fail' is not simply about size. A big institution is 'too big' when there is an expectation that government will do whatever it takes to rescue that institution from failure, thus bestowing an effective risk premium subsidy. Reforms to end 'too big to fail' must address the causes of this expectation.
