(Diary)
There are plenty of high fliers that have had more interesting and influential lives than I have, because greater wealth gives you access to even more insane levels of complexity and opportunity. But for a variety of reasons, even at my level of wealth, and perhaps because of it, I have been involved in more crazy nonsense across a broader range of conditions than most people can imagine is possible. At my late age I realize that this is just autism and novelty seeking combined with aggression, gregariousness, confidence, and unhealthy risk tolerance. Which I think, as a list, is totally redundant. But in any event I’ve managed to stick my nose and fingers in all sorts of nonsense. And it’s only beginning to dawn on me how odd that is. 😉 I kinda skirted that edge pretty often, where, for example, I had to break into an office in the night by climbing through the ceiling, to break into a cabinet to get information for the IRS to arrest a scumbag for financial fraud. And that’s just one I’m willing to talk about. And the number of times I sort of went over the top in one situation or another to right what I considered a wrong, or punish what I considered evil, is kind of uncomfortable in retrospect even if I felt moral pride at the time. 😉 So of course, when the government called and asked me to do the equivalent for god and country, I was like … um. You mean it’s OK now? OMG. It’s like Christmas! I kind of which I had started earlier because it’s pretty rewarding work.
