Unfortunately I am too distracted by business this winter. I am not producing enough. Or at least it is not evident. But I love and appreciate all my friends. And I especially love and appreciate those that advise, support, and advocate. Ant I can’t tell you how much it matters to me that you do. Love all of you. Every color and creed.

I can do the messenger bag thing just fine. I love it.
I can’t do the whole eastern european man purse thing.
You know why they have them? Because the basic unit of currency is equivalent to $5 and $10. So a little money takes up a lot of space. So you need a man purse to carry around any money at all. Hence why the governmetns want to get rid of $100 bills, and the euro wants to get rid of $500 bills. It isn’t bulky enough. lol

OK. Wait. (I am completely incompetent at the moment). If they make 100ml straight gin (extra dry) martinis, and I have two of them. And a shot is about 25ml. That means I had 8 shots of gin, right?
OMFG. They’re trying to kill me. Really. It’s a fucking conspiracy.
Me and one Swedish guy. You know that means trouble! We started talking religion. OMFG. He says I”m not catholic. Don’t try to discuss religion when drunk. Especially with a swede or a german. It’s fucking hopeless. These people think psychology is meaningful. WTF am I supposed to do!
Igor, Ivan, Nassar … you will pay for this. You will. Seriously. You’re my FRIENDS and you get me DRUNK and you ENJOY IT.
It’s like… Hey! Lets wind up the Doolittle!
Sigh.

Ukraine (mostly stress) has not been good to my hair. Gonna have to take off what’s left on top. Why am I nervous? No, I don’t have a problem with it. I think it’s masculine.
The problem is, that I’m afraid I’ll look like Bernanke. lol

all work and no play makes curt a dull boy, but sure as heck gets a lot of work done….
I wrote all of the permissions documentation today, and a chunk of the workflow – and I am going to see if I can get thru the workflow before I sleep tonight.
It takes a lot more time to write the functional documentation (what, and why) than it does the how documentation. Pretty soon I ‘ll be done with all the user-level why and what, and have just HOW to work on. And I can’t wait.
sigh…

COULD I PURSADE CHARLES MURRAY? I THINK SO.
Not that I’m of peer standing with Charles Murray, but I am still probably the most innovative political philosopher today, certainly the most nomocratic, and I seem to have a significant influence on the the alt-right.
And I would love to talk with Charles about how these questions might alter his position:
1) the (empirical) possibility of the classical liberal “Aristocracy of Everyone”,
2) whether truthfulness can be restored to political discourse if that project is impossible.
3) whether representative government is demonstrably a ‘good’ (benefit or harm).
4) whether intellectuals, politicians, financiers, merchants, or warriors, have the best record in the presidency. And what form of persuasive language that they use.
5) whether when someone like Trump speaks he is using Hyperbole to exaggerate intertemporal contrasts, in the long tradition of generals (conservatives), it is preferable to using the language of ideology, philosophy, and law, to prevaricate on verbalisms regardless of consequences (progressives).
Because you see, trump talks like a general of old. And that is what the male population is resonating with. And all the intellectuals in the world do not realize that the left has succeeded in ostracizing the military and our generals from politics.
Leaving us only with public intellectuals(priests) and politicians. The warrior is gone from our lives, and we long for him.
We long for a world of clear actions and cautious limits intent on conserving capital, not encouraging words and optimistic beliefs intent encouraging hyper-consumption regardless of consequences.
In the end we all die. But in the end, truth, science, arts, our civilization, culture and kin can die with us.
