I remember talking to Robert Miles when I was very angry about what I saw as the consistent immorality and self destructive behavior at Microsoft. And I said that once I sold the company I never wanted to deal whit them again. Now, that’s not true any longer. But it was a measure of my exasperation with them at the time.
You know, management in a company like Microsoft which has dramatic impact on a local economy (Seattle, Redmond, Bellevue, Sammamish, Issaquah, Renton and the islands – and more). I saw changes at microsoft made on a whim, that destroyed lives and businesses in droves. I watched products that had potential killed over the most absurd nonsense. I saw products that would change the market killed by politicking. All of it was avoidable.

MOST IMPORTANT LIFE MOMENTS.
University. Classroom. Contract Law. Specifically how to make your case in one page.
Professor emeritus. 85 year old. Shambling fellow. Suit. Arm full of books. From Columbia university.
After I answer a hard question, he asks me if I went to catholic school. I say yes.
Later, he say “The world is not built for us. It is built for average people. We cannot expect or wish that it was built for us. We would never be happy if we did. We can only help average people build a better world.”
I must have needed to hear that very badly at my 19 years of age. It gave me permission to forgive and a mission to help. Unlike Nietzsche’s vision, it gave me permission to set myself apart. And to help and teach rather that convince and persuade.
I remember reading Pareto and it was then that I understood the world was built for production and reproduction using the people that we have. And that a small number of people concentrate the wealth necessary to voluntarily organize that production.
It was only in the past few years that I realized that the only way to make the world better was to reduce the friction created by the underclasses.
They are a boat anchor on mankind.

AWESOME MONTH OF HOLIDAYS IN WESTERN UKRAINE
1) 12/15 St. Nicholas’ Day. (like santa claus)
2) 12/25 Western Christmas Day
3) 1/1 New Year’s Day
4) 1/7 Orthodox Christmas Day
5) 1/14 “Old New Year”
So basically, there is an excuse to party for a month.
Now the entrepreneur in me is horrified by the need to increase profitability and productivity for the year by 1/12th (8.5%), or to accept the 8.5% decrease in everything and all externalities to the business and the economy.
But the human being in me kind of appreciates the agrarian cycle.
