Quickie: The Two Lines that Changed the World

If I may do the unthinkable, to simplify the complexity of the world into two simple lines, I'd draw an utility curve, and a budget constraint line.

The utility curve outlines our tendencies to make one decision over another, in the realm of our imaginations.
The budget constraint brings us back to earth, limiting what we can and cannot do with what we have.

The differences in our perception of these two curves allow us decisions, interactions; they trigger passion, ambition, innovation... they also lead to peace, conflict, and war.

Simplifying complexity...a beautiful concept isn't it?
