    NO COURT FOR DOOLITTLE

    My divorce lawyer would not allow me on the stand, because he assumed (rightfully) that I would make a travesty of the courtroom, (I have before) and end up in jail for it. (He was right.)

    The court operates on the pretense that it provides justice, when the fact is that the state is just as complicit a co-conspirator as any other predator.

    I always go to court if I can. It increases the costs to everyone for failing to come to resolution outside of court. And it provides a wonderful stage to mock the state. So unlike my peers I tend to favor aggressive litigation – for the sole purpose that it creates a reputation that going to court is expensive, time-consuming, unpredictable, and embarrassing. I hate settlement.

    You know, if I were an academic, employed by the Academy (Cathedral) I couldn’t Troll Russians on Russian propaganda sites during lunchtime. And that alone is enough incentive to work outside of the Academy. 🙂

    I know so many professors who are closet nerds with the personal interests of 14 year olds. And they can’t exercise their intersets in public. Thankfully I can. 🙂

    ——-SNIP—–

    Trolling you clowns is too easy. I have the whole office rolling in laughter. But, it’s sort of like making fun of kids on the short bus. I mean, to be Russian is enough of a handicap. I suppose I shouldn’t make fun of the mentally defective. I have Youtube for that. Oh. Wait. Those retarded goons, whores, room temperature IQ drivers, and alcoholics on youtube are Russian too, aren’t they?

    Oh well. Sigh.

    I suppose being the white people who failed qualifies you for being the world’s clowns.

    Because that’s all you are.

    🙂

    LEARNING FROM FAILURE

    I emailed Jonathan Haidt a question this morning, and think I just answered it myself: it’s not so much that he can change our political system, or even hopes to (although I assume he does) but that the dysfunctionality of the political system provides good data for his research into moral foundations. Sort of how I use libertarians and socialists: the fact that they’re so wrong about everything allows us to determine what is right. Or how neurologists study the brain by studying those with defective brains. It’s very hard to learn much from normalcy. (as Nassim Taleb is trying to tell us). It’s only useful to learn from error. As Popper has been trying to tell us. We don’t tell the truth, but instead, give warranty that we do not speak falsely. And that is what I am trying to say.

    http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=16171615961&searchurl=tn%3Dstory+Colt%27s+revolverSAMUEL COLT – MY HERO

    I have no idea how many times I read his biography between fourth and eighth grades. Many. At least once a year. But my entrepreneurialism and determination were inspired by his example.

    We are formed by strange events. Someone, somewhere, bought that book for the school library. Somehow I came across it looking for something interesting to read. And much of my business career is the product of those two accidents.

    Life is fascinating. 🙂

    ECONOMICS OF HUGS

    Ukrainian women are amazing. So it’s a good thing that hugs are inexpensive to produce. Otherwise I would live in poverty.

    I’m under the weather today, and it’s days like this when I really appreciate all the people who follow me and give me encouragement. Especially those of you who give me those wonderful PM’s at just the right time. It matters. It matters to me a lot. So thank you. For likes, comments, arguments, criticisms, support and encouragement.

    RED ICE RADIO INTERVIEW

    Just finished a GREAT interview with Red Ice Radio. Knowledgeable people. Smart questions. I had a blast. I think it will come out a week from Monday. I’ll share it here.

    We covered an amazing amount of stuff. I’ll post my notes here in just a few minutes.

    Listening to myself….. I think the cake is baked. Roman says it’s baked. I think he’s right. We’re ready.
