"Economic Integrity Deadpans Culture Wars"
Craig K. Hemphill
© 2026

In a capitalist market model, economy choices in goods and capital/human labor are free to be chosen by suppliers and consumers. Goods and resources will either be superior or inferior.

Yet, when irrational motives caused by consumer or supplier deflation of product or resource knowledge leads to externalities in market principles (e.g., racism or corporate corruption), longterm market optimization suffers.

Economic integrity in product knowledge and resource outlays require informed decisions absent market floors or artificial constraints. These capital market truths apply to culture wars. Culture wars are rot to economic prosperity. Government or private industry stakeholders that infuse market inefficient principles into a capitalist system are perfectly inelastic and bad for market growth and market performance.

Economic models of market optimization demonstrates vast choices in products and resource outlays (i.e., a diverse workforce) lead to market stability and increased profits as well as potential wage gains. It is simple macro economics driven by solid micro economic principles.

Everything else is market smokescreens and mirrors and offer capitalist market disdain. Economics describe this situation as negative game theory.

There is too much "college football" type my team must win animosity in today's civil interactions and political motivations. The character of today's civil service and politicians is a run on immaturity and juvenile senility in motivation, behavior and goal(s) for the public. In essence the public are selecting tribal and race-related "college football team" type of public representatives. The results are foolish disaster.

There must be a return to wisdom and intellectual rigor to combat ignorance and public rot.

If we do not lastly cling to mature reality--we ALL will become Beavis and Butthead fools.

There is no room to stand divided. Live or die.

I had hard-nosed practical and conservative professors when I was in business school and law school. Sure, some were Democrats, but STILL--the expectation was reality based analyses on every issue and you figured a balance sheet, business decision, economic explanation or legal position based on precedent and hard facts; not this detached garbage that we noe deal with in this bizarre and lie infested world.

We have dumb and misguided people who act as if poverty, race, gender, nuclear codes, wars, climate change, and religious positions are some damn world wrestling federation event or something.

This is a foolish time.

The only path out of it is God and prayer. Fasting and love.

Yes, even though my seminary professors were liberal--they were pragmatist too.

Last night I had the privilege and the honor to pray the invocation and blessing over the Thurgood Marshall School of Law at Texas Southern University graduating Class of 2026.
