    —“Henry Ford wanted essentially one perfect car, free of lies (technical imperfection is a form of lie), and sold on a perfectly honest conditions – i.e. the buyer has to be debt-free (and prove it) and no Ford had to be sold on interest, ever. These principles actually hurt Ford company financially, as other companies that produced technically imperfect, but beautiful and comfortable (deceptive) cars and sold them on interest to the debt-ridden population of the world (dishonestly) made quick gains in the 1930s. But Ford did not budge until he was convinced by Roosevelt that the whole US state needs to move forward, and it depends on Henry Ford being flexible about his moral stance. Being rather moderate Episcopalian, not a staunch Calvinist, Ford found a way to compromise.”— Igor Rogov

    (re: “sex tourist criticism”)

    um. I went to Ukraine because the same software developer costs 200k I Seattle fully loaded and 45k(now) in Kiev fully loaded. That meant I could develop our product out of pocket – or so I thought. The fact that I appreciate just about everything – particularly the people, and of the people, particularly the women, is simply a benefit.

    Demonstrate your weakness and envy elsewhere pls. Biz iz biz.

    THE ACADEMY LIKE HOLLYWOOD PRODUCES WORSE WORK PRODUCTS THAN INDIVIDUAL CRAFTSMAN IN EITHER INDUSTRY

    Um. helps to keep in mind that the academy provides funding for thought and obviously subsidizes bad thought. Whereas thought leadership in history did not come from the academy but from wealth sufficient for literacy and time for study. In other words, it is not clear that the academy produces better intellectual work products than individual craftsmen, any more than Hollywood produces better art products than individual craftsmen. And the evidence appears overwhelmingly the opposite: that the academy, entertainment industry, media, and democratic state, produce higher volumes of bad quality everything.

    In a coffee shop. Had to tell two typical self centered millennial teens working the place that ‘this isn’t your living room it’s a place of business, and you’re both too loud and sharing what you shouldn’t”.

    Girl ok, apologizes. Non-hetero male – huff-and-puff storm.

    Just 25 Undone’s.

    Old MSFT source code habit but I mark my text with (undone) or (…) when I need to finish something, or flesh it out.

    First book is down to 25 undone’s, which means 25 to 50 paragraphs.

    Really happy with it.

    After that it’s proofread over and over before sending it off.

  • More Method To The Madness

    —“When you intersperse, or do intermissions from the hard core Propertarian stuff and add tips/topics on life, love, money, programming/tech and business especially, it psychologically shows others (not our guys, but the general public), “Shit, this guy is not a failed austrian immigrant painter living in a flophouse”, but very well studied and successful. It also teaches Propertarian utility in real life and it makes it fun. Lastly it makes it harder for enemies to attack because if they say, he doesn’t know about business, they open up and pull that out and get crushed and that association makes what you say stronger on Propertarianism.”— A Friend

    [T]here is method to the madness…. I also play king of the hill and bait constantly to make it a game. I also post things that I disagree with, or that can be interpreted other ways, to start debate. Congratulate even the smallest success. Edit and quote others to inspire them to keep trying. Audit the feed and comments.Ask others to contribute or handle those i can’t. Run experiments so others can help me and themselves. Keep a loose inventory and estimate of people who are talented and drip ideas to them as needed while letting them own the discoveries they make. And i also try to include thinking women without demanding they think or play the game as males. And Include people from as many cultures as I can so that we all transcend the century of pseudoscience and sophism. 😉 Thanks for appreciating it. 😉
