Animal Spirit
“Most, probably, of our decisions to do something positive, the full consequences of which will be drawn out over many days to come, can only be taken as a result of animal spirits – of a spontaneus urge to action rather than inaction, and not as the outcome of a weighted average of quantitative benefits multiplied by quantitative probabilities.”
J. M. Keynes – The general theory of employment, interest and money
The demon of action: it is neither good nor bad, or rather it does not belong to the ethic domain.
Its question: “Does a similar being dwell in you?”
