http://www.ecamm.com/mac/callrecorder/HOW TO RECORD AN AUDIO INTERVIEW WITH ME ON PROPERTARIANISM, TESTIMONIALISM, OR ARISTOCRATIC EGALITARIANISM.

(a 12 step program 🙂 )

1) Email me asking for an interview. Suggest a time. Schedule a time. I am in eastern Europe at GMT +2: Reserve an hour.

2) Make a list of questions, or at least a subject, and email them to me. I will make a list of notes. This helps me position the conversation for you.

3) Buy Call Recorder for Skype or torrent it or use a trial copy.

4) Use Skype

5) Test it with three different friends before you call me, for at least ten minutes.

6) Ring me 30 minutes and 15 minutes ahead of time. It’s not like I am sitting around waiting for your call, with nothing else to do. I’m busy, and I get distracted easily. 🙂

7) start recording, introduce yourself. Introduce me. Let me say thank you, then ask your first question.

8) I’ll answer. Please let me finish my thoughts, so keep notes when you’re interviewing, and return to questions. Interrupting me is ok if you don’t understand, but don’t change the subject – the reason my interviews are hard on people is that interviewers dont let me finish a chain of reasoning, and most of my chains of reasoning are quite long.

9) At the end I will wrap up with a summary statement f what I tried to get across.

10) thank each other. cut.

11) I will send you my notes in case something wasn’t understood.

12) You will Send me a link to the finished product.

TODAY IS ASK CURT ANYTHING (REASONABLE) DAY.

This is my queue, and I know I’m missing four of five of your requests. If I don’t have you listed here, please tell me you’re waiting for it.

There are things I can answer in five minutes, things in twenty, things in an hour, and things that take multiple sessions. The way I work is to write posts as ‘rest’ between work sessions. So some questions are easier for me to answer than others.

respond to Ivan Ilakovac’s question on art.

respond to Vigilu Pop’s question on changing values.

respond to Sam Fusini on post-grad study of philosophy

respond to Richenbach’s nonsense

finish Josh (nietzsche) response

finish molyneux post

finish friedman book review

Answer (better) the question of a Virtue Ethics and why that is a property of Aesthetics (preference) rather than Ethics (necessity).

I am currently working on formal institutions. I feel comfortable with the general structure of the houses, and of the judiciary, and the military. But I am not comfortable with ritual and education.

After this I have to deal with money and economy, and that is where I was very certain, but now I have to work through the details.

– Cheers
