...But of these sophisms and elenchs of merchandise I skill not...
Milton, Areopagitica

Except he had found the
standing sea-rock that even this last
Temptation breaks on; quieter than death but lovelier; peace
that quiets the desire even of praising it.

New Scientist ---White House shelters ignorant greedheads right up to the very last minute ...economic report issued by the White House Council of Economic Advisers on Wednesday. "We need to recognise that it makes sense to discuss slowing emissions growth before trying to stop and eventually reverse it," the report said. This approach would prevent any "shock" to the US economy."

Death is kinda sorta the ultimate shock isn't it? I mean don't you think?
I mean it's hard to know because after....well, that's it, there is no after, at least in a mortal human "economic" sense. So you can't know for sure, you know? But it seems like suddenly realizing you were definitely going to die and it was too late and you had stubbornly been going absolutely the wrong way I mean it seems like that might be kind of a, you know, "shock" to the old personal economy eh?
