Think Tanks operate over extended periods of time (20-50 years). Those who are part of such organizations will develop them on a CHESS based time scale (10 moves ahead). Us, who work for a living, cannot plan in our current state of affairs beyond a 20 year time frame; what we can envision in our life is promoted in job interviews with the question: "where do you see yourself in 5-10 years". They want us to plan for the short term in order to mount appropriate defenses against our mind set. Knowing we are always strapped for cash makes future plans untenable or even changing.

They are playing chess and convince us we are playing checkers
