During my reading of the book "Keynes: the return of the Master", I came across many pieces of comments by Keynes, which, of course, are cited by the author.
One of these comments on Page 113 is that
"Whatever the short-run fate of ideas, the ideas that survive are those that answer to what is universal in human nature or experience, and not just to the interests of particular groups."
This comment on the judgement of ideas may sound cliche to people as many people would say they are contributing to the human society. Yet, I personally quite like this comment because it guides me to a direction on how to think and where to go, which strengthen my faith in putting human nature in the first place when I need to make a decision on the market or something else related with the big crowds.
PS: well, how short is short and how long is long will always raise an argument, but probably it is a personal belief to assume human nature always determines and we should follow the direction of history wheel -- just as the technique of following the ball when playing 'PingPang'.
