I am an autodidact economist; that is, I am self-taught. If I see far it is because I am standing on the feet of giants.

 4 comments to Samizdata quote of the day |
Who Are We?The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling. We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

“standing on the feet of giants” – wouldn’t you just see their shins or something?!
maybe this ending is better:
if I see far…. it is because I am wearing expensive military binoculars..
nahh!
That rather depends on which way you are facing, mike… though the binoculars sound kinda cool.
“If I have not seen as far as other men, it’s because of these friggin’ dwarves standing on my shoulders.”

I know there is a joke there somewhere, but I am struggling to get it …..
