What It Means
This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "Keynes was a homosexual and had no intention of having children. We are not dead in the long run... our children are our progeny. It is the economic ideals of Keynes that have gotten us into the problems of today" in the context of "Niall Ferguson conference speech, 2013, as summarised by journalist Lance Roberts. Ferguson later apologised." to mean that wisdom is timeless.
