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.

Q&A: WHO INFLUENCED YOU?
Who influenced you? Um. Have you seen my reading list? Science influenced me. If I have to name a few philosophers it would be Hayek and Popper because they are the thinkers who attempted to restate social science as the study of information – and only partly succeeded.
Otherwise I am influenced intellectually by science and scientists. Sentimentally by ‘hard’ Science Fiction, which I consider the reformation of mythology for use in modernity. Educationally by my study of fine art probably frames my reference more than any other. Recreationally by my study of history. Environmentally by germanic intellectual and cultural influences dominant in the early twentieth century. Genetically as an anglo conservative son of puritans, and catholic mother’s conservative idealism.

WORKING WITH A FOOT IN BOTH WORLDS: PHILOSOPHY AND BUSINESS I always feel like w
WORKING WITH A FOOT IN BOTH WORLDS: PHILOSOPHY AND BUSINESS
I always feel like working in both worlds – analytic philosophy and business – has been a liability in some respects, and an asset in others.
To some degree people discount both because you’re not limiting yourself to one or the other – although it certainly worked for most of the better thinkers in history to do both.
So my career consists of people in business telling me I belong in a university, and people in academia telling me I am an entrepreneur. Frankly I belong right where I am – doing both. ‘Cause that is what makes me happy.
But if I am remembered at all, it will be for my philosophy – not for the ten or so businesses I have built so far; each one of which was an experiment in social science.
Although after Propertarianism and Testimonialism it is more likely that I will be thought of as a philosopher first, and an entrepreneur second. I suspect it will help my entrepreneurial efforts, despite its controversy.

HOTEL’S SIMPLE HOT WINTER TEA.
Get a large tumbler. Not a glass. A tumbler with thick glass walls. Like they serve a tall beer in.
Add one and one half tablespoons of English Breakfast Tea – so that it is strong.
Add hot water to fill.
Add two teaspoons of natural honey that has no preservatives added.
Add the juice of one half lemon.
Stir.
Serve.
I seem to be able to go through a few of these without getting caffeine problems.

Very nice young college girl here I have known for the past couple of years (waitress in one of my favorite places.) We always chat. She is friends with another girl who reminds me very much of my daughter Caitie. I love that there are good people everywhere in this world if you try to find them. Always support the young folk with promise. Care is contagious and acceptance is gives them energy. Same with the young men I run into. I remember being 23. OMG. We need to give them all the help they can get. 🙂
Pay it forward.

MOTHERHOOD IS A MUCH BETTER DRUG THAN THE KIND FROM THE PHARMACY.
I like having kids around the house. A lot. Assuming that they don’t jump on me too much or pose a risk to my technology. lol. It’s like you can get and give hugs in volume all the time. I am just not entertaining for children. And I am a terrible babysitter for wee ones ’cause I really have no idea what to do. And my brain is always working on something. But especially if your wife loves taking care of them, or you have a nanny, then it’s awesome. You can be a lifeguard, and your spouse can be cruise ship director.
I’ve had my own families. I’ve been able to spend enough time with three other women’s kids, and it’s sort of all dependent upon the woman. There are some women who love being mom, and some that find it partly fulfilling but not enough to do full time, and some that seek to avoid it as much as possible.
The superwomen in my generation got screwed by feminism. they’re old, accomplished, single or in bad marriages, and they either don’t have kids or have kids with issues. here I see dozens of women every day who choose family first, and they just have less money, but literally none of them seem ‘crazy’ like so many desperate american women.
I mean, American women are evidently crazy as hell from the amount of drugs they’re taking.
Motherhood, and grand-motherhood are much better drugs than those you get from the pharmacy.
americans are unhappy because they’re lonely.
The lies of pseudoscience. That’s what did it.
And women were the carriers of the disease.

—“You work on a computer. You’ve never done a day’s worth of work in your life.”— (ex girlfriend), And, —“Curt, You’re no farmer”— (grandmother)
lol…. Maybe, But I have ORGANIZED a great deal of work in my life, and we are paid by the number of people we affect, not the labor we perform. Marx had it backwards. lol
