An incredibly good question

https://baixacultura.org/2025/02/01/ttw8sbzha The note below is from the New York Times, from an opinion blog posted there. A fellow priest noticed this article and posted it on his Facebook page. Father Orthoduck found the question asked in the blog to be quite insightful as well and thought he would pass it on. Father Orthoduck encourages you to go to his blog and post answers to his question. Some of the comments are insightful, way too many are the type of unthinking spam that one sees on too many of today’s public blogs.

The Greatest Question Ever Asked?

By Stephen J. Dubner

https://www.suitupmaine.org/c8rs43bl9mz We’ve been doing a lot of media interviews for SuperFreakonomics, and once in a while you get asked a really interesting question.

But I don’t think this one will ever be topped. It comes from a journalist in India:

You state that your book is based on one fundamental assumption about human nature: people respond to incentives. Which is another way of saying that people are basically selfish. Take someone like Jesus Christ. What was his “incentive” to go on the cross?

For starters, here’s an interesting blog post titled “The Economics of Jesus” which begins with this excellent line: “Jesus probably didn’t know much about macroeconomics, even though he was God.”

By the way, I haven’t yet answered this journalist’s question — it’s an e-mail Q&A interview — so I’m eager for your input.
