    The Founding Principle of The United States Constitution, the British Constitution, Germanic, Roman, and Greek Law, and the Western Indo European People Is Simple:

    “Man’s Self-Determination by A Universal Militia, Granting One Another Sovereignty and Reciprocity in Display, Word, and Deed, Regardless of Cost, in Exchange for Reciprocal Insurance of That Sovereignty and Reciprocity, in Display, Word, and Deed Regardless Cost, Thereby Limiting All to Productive and Voluntary Cooperation in Markets in Association, Cooperation, Production, Reproduction, Commons, Polities, and War;  diverting the proceeds to the production of commons, creating the most rapid adaptation, innovation, and evolution possible by man, at the cost of constraining the reproduction of the unproductive, thereby Producing a Distributed Dictatorship of Individually Sovereign People and the Power to Deny Power To Any and All.”

    And with this simple rule of sovereignty and reciprocity in display, word, and deed we have dragged mankind kicking and screaming out of ignorance, superstition, hard labor, poverty, starvation, disease, suffering, child mortality, early death, the chaos of nature, in a brief period of geologic peace, brief period of solar peace, and brief period of galactic peace. In just a few centuries in the ancient world, and a few in the modern.

  • Becoming a better designer

    Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like). There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don’t look even slightly believable. If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn’t anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text. All the Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet. It uses a dictionary of over 200 Latin words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures, to generate Lorem Ipsum which looks reasonable. The generated Lorem Ipsum is therefore always free from repetition, injected humour, or non-characteristic words etc. The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.

  • I just thought of a curated advertising model that would work within Oversing at

    I just thought of a curated advertising model that would work within Oversing at some point in its distant future. I am surprised no one has done it yet. Maybe they have tried and it’s not effective enough for consumer products. Interesting.

    Also, I’ve been against advertising in the FB and google model. But you know, I’m totally in favor of catalog and magazine subscriptions that don’t cost anything. In other words, if the user wants to subscribe to a ‘page’ sponsored by a company then that’s very different from spamming users.

    Anyway. Just ruminating. (Kirill is fixing bugs. I am testing. We are drinking coffee and Borjomi. It’s wet and cold outside. )

  • OVER-INVESTING IN FUTURE EXECUTIVES WHILE CONSTRAINING CURRENT MANAGEMENT COSTS.

    OVER-INVESTING IN FUTURE EXECUTIVES WHILE CONSTRAINING CURRENT MANAGEMENT COSTS.

    I have usually over invested in management talent and it shows in the profits on one hand and in growth rates on the other. I only build growth companies.

    It takes a few years to train someone well enough to operate successfully. And if you want growth you need talent.

    This is why my criticisms of middle management don’t seem right.

    But I don’t hire middle managers. I hire future executives in training and I rotate them all over the company.

  • EMPIRICAL CEO ADVICE 3: People’s stress is not a reason to make a decision. Much

    EMPIRICAL CEO ADVICE 3:

    People’s stress is not a reason to make a decision. Much to the distress of my management teams I am perfectly happy postponing tactical decisions until the information is in, and sometimes until it cannot be delayed.

    This might sound counter to conventional wisdom but my particular skill is the long horizon I have no problem making strategic decisions – early. Because that is where I spend nearly all of my efforts.

    But I have good reasons for delaying a lot of other decisions.

    Why? People use early decisions as cheap means of experimentation that exchanges lower effort for offloading risk onto the business. I force them to collect information through research and to continue producing until change in production is necessary. Most middle management bloat and job justification is the result of playing at experimentation rather than self education by research. People are lazy in all walks of life. Progressives spend resources others earned send so does middle management. It’s the c level and the labor that pinches pennies.
