Stream of consciousness lucubrations

An interesting seemingly ABSTRACT economics question : how do blind market forces assure some rational equilibrium in the DIVISION OF LABOR infrastructure of global capitalism ? Why can you be sure that SOMEBODY wants to be a corn farmer or a CNA or a CPA ? How would a functional DIVISION OF LABOR be achieved in a SOCIALIST society without a virtual caste system of employment ? [ " Your Daddy was a plumber, so you will be one too ". But with SOCIALIST equality ? ] Question put to mere kids : " And what do YOU want to be when YOU grow up ? " . All a matter of FREE WILL and making the RIGHT CHOICES ? BLIND Nature can create marvelous creatures AS IF BY DESIGN . And intricate organic structures . Mother Nature can create a brain of genius . But it hardly knows how to repair a broken brain or a senile brain. Modern medical science supplements DUMB nature . Yet the human species SURVIVED 100,000 years without any scientific knowledge of the human body or LIFE ON EARTH. Think about it : CIVILIZATION goes back some 10,000 years. But the telescope and the microscope and the GERM THEORY OF DISEASE are happenings of only the last few centuries. After the Great Plague of the 14th century .[ stream of consciousness rambling here ] .
