Risk Aversion and Future Investments in the Next Generation
In life there is risk and it quite safe to say those who takes the greatest risk achieve the highest rewards. Risk Aversion - A characteristic of being averse to risk and one could argue the current state of nation when it comes to future investments in the next generation.
A risk adverse individual or nation prefer certainty and would choose to keep h/her money as oppose to investing in a risky venture like public education. There's no certainty or guarantee that every child will be a success or the next Einstein.
I was listening to a segment on NPR about health care in Bisbee, Arizona in which the mayor indicted until his stroke he never went to a hospital. If the investment risk had not been taking to provide a hospital in Bisbee the mayor would be dead or paralyzed.
An investment in health care or insurance will generally have a higher expected value than going without, risk mitigation, as opposed to a game of roulette in which you assume all risk by playing. In insurance, you pay the company to assume a risk for you. Risk mitigation allows one to reduce the aversion to risk.
Knowledge is the Key to understanding risk and the mitigation of risk. The one who's not averse to risk has the knowledge and clarity on how to mitigate risk. Having the knowledge reduces the fear and builds confidence which in-turn brings the rewards. Understanding the baselines of life's and it boundaries is derived through knowledge i.e. wisdom, an understanding of life.

Black Enterprise, Marc Lamont Hill Interviews Angela Davis
AfrocatioN
With knowledge being the key to freedom, it stands to reason that the truth combined with that knowledge, will ultimately set the mind body and soul free.
Marc Lamont Hill of Black Enterprise interviews Angela Davis, a symbol of knowledge and an icon of African American pride and freedom.
I and as you will see in the interview, had no idea she was a professor before becoming a symbol of the African American freedom movement.
Earlier today I met an African American veteran at the VA Hospital and its quite a coincident of how he spoke of being apart of an equal rights movement in San Francisco during the sixties. We talked about the responsibility of the next generation to seek knowledge and stand for freedom. The prior generation can only disseminate that knowledge and past down the skill with intent to motivate, its up to the new generation to grab hold, rise to the occasion and carry the flame of freedom.
