Why I'm confident about America

A few blogs ago, I was writing that what makes America so creative and so forward-thinking is precisely the fact that it's not mired into tradition. That's right, customs, culture and anything that excessively channels behavior that isn't harmful is an impediment to change and when you think about it, our present and future are all about change of the roaring kind.

Change that is fast and furious and non stop. In a world that is in a permanent and accelerated state of flux, the fewer obstacles to adapting, the better. That in itself is the greatest advantage bestowed upon America. We can change everything and retool faster than Europeans, Asians and Africans.

Nimbleness and reactivity is built into the American DNA. It's not because God prefers us – she doesn't care - and it's certainly not thanks to our corrupt politicians that constitute our built-in handicap. Its simply because of its unparalleled flexibility and instant adaptability that America will continue to flourish no matter what the jealous, the naysayers and the enemies can say or do.
