Completely exclusive – concerning the invasion of extraterrestrial or alien economists and their secret activities

FROM THE REDACTION

“Socrates, what does kindness mean to you – knowledge, comfort or something else?” Socrates: “Do you think that it is fair when a person speaks about something that he does not know and passes himself off as an expert?”

“What a venomous tongue you have, Socrates! – Trasimac said, – can one understand my words the wrong way round?”
Plato, “State”, translated by Bachana Bregadze, Tb. 2003, pp. 20, 243.
The community of scientific economists of Georgia is seriously anxious: there are rumors that unknown economists invaded the Georgian space, study the Georgian economy and publish articles in different magazines under others’ names. One might say that on the whole the articles are not bad and they even win positive and rapturous appraisals of sceptics, But who are they? It must not be so! The respected scientific community has become anxious and, to tell the truth, quite justly. It is spring and the first of April is coming, but everything has its limits!
Not long ago mister professor Paata asked one of my collaborators – Mrs. Nino: “Was not it you who wrote this article?” (The matter concerned the Editor’s Column placed in “SE” !1 that was embellished with my signature.) Why did this idea occur to Mr. Paata? Because a foreign word “HASSP” was used there, which means control and monitoring of critical points in checking production and safety of food products. “But what particular is there here?” – my educated reader may ask. “Nothing!” – the adequate answer would be. Except for one thing – in my opinion, in Georgia there is only one specialist in this field. So, who could discourse on these issues? Either that one or an alien. There is no other opinion. And what about the signature??? It was ascribed to something written by other person as it is said by anxious Plato: “Do you think that it is fair when a person speaks about something that he does not know and passes himself off as an expert?”
Plato is right, but with respect to whom? Now it is being studied by the Georgian economic science – to the only specialist in this field or to the signature. That signatory rarely signs his articles because he writes often and does not want the public to be bored with him and often puts someone else’s name to his economic articles, that is why the discussion’s logic became simpler – he would not have signed something written by someone else!
However, there is an ongoing search aimed at exposure of aliens. Moreover, one respected professor kindly tells me that here (“Sakartvelos Ekonomika” magazine is implied) there are so many analytical articles that we discussed who writes them. An intermediate study carried out in the aforementioned club ascertained that it is aliens that write a lot, take it to the editorial office and then the editor picks out the material; or there is another variant – such a big honorarium is to these alien economists that they write for this magazine with pleasure.
God be praised! I did say that aliens exist, that one should look for our saviors not at the bottom of Bazaleti but in the sky! Here is the result – they have come down and are here, and, for some reason, they have chosen economic publicism as the sphere of their activities and, if one asks me, to absolutely no purpose. Anyway, no one will believe or listen to them! Thus, this kind of illegal activities will not bring anything good to them, but since “alien” experts focused their attention on Georgia, the matter stands as follows:
1. either they are very needy since there is a high unemployment there and they are attracted by local honorariums,
2. or we are so hard up that they are sorry for us and write articles in economics.
In both cases a direct kinetic analysis is very interesting from the viewpoint of practical geometry and the chaos theory as well as a pure neomodernistic and neovirtual economy.
“Oh, what a venomous tongue you have, Socrates!”
So we, our magazine became interested in this phenomenon and announced a prize in the amount of 666 (this figure is a magic sign of the skeptics) USD to the person who will find the alien that is an incognito writer of this article, since if he were an earthly and local economist, our all-knowing professorate would certainly know him and, besides, I think that they do not have his like. Time is running, gentlemen!
The die is cast,
All strength is spent,
All words are translated,
Vain chatter is ashes,
The writer of the analytical article is a brick
He seems to be knowing,
And if you tried this prize
You should find this alien, Lazarus;
If not – stop the jabber.
No, Socrates is right!
Kindness is justice!
I beg you to find me till the first of April and I shall have a rest from so much writing and you will be awarded with pink bilberry.
Yours faithfully,
Emzar Jgerenaia
