The way to increase the quality of all gallery art is to require that every piece on display require 400 hours of manual production work. Or at least to sort pieces by the number of hours of production work.

The secret to Keynes is: 1) he didn’t know any capital theory & 2) his main efforts was manipulate things so Britain never paid for the war.

#ios Microsoft, Apple, and Google currently lack midterm vision. Mobile has misallocated capital. No competitor has arisen from the new gen.

I guess Propertarianism is going to put Dworkin’s legal to the bin just as I will put Rawls to the bin.
When reading this stuff today through the lens of propertarianism it’s like how most rational people feel when reading theology.
It’s just primitive nonsense.

It’s possible that in building Oversing I see the future of the workplace differently from others. But I just have to believe that there are people at MSFT if not Apple that see the next generation of software in the workplace – and that its going to look a lot like Oversing.
I mean, I never think I’m a lone in seeing something like that. But I lack visibility into MSFT/Apple that i’ve had in the past. So I don’t really see how they view the current marketplace.
WHAT I DO KNOW is that they are both misled by revenue streams. And they both overestimate the progress of technology in the workplace and out of it.

Friend Says: “Everyone skilled enough or wealthy enough who can get out of ukraine did.”
So everyone left is one generation away from the farm. Ukrainans call it the ‘village’, but it means ‘small farm’ in american terms.
They sort of make fun of ‘village people’ here the way we used to make fun of ‘bumpkins’. Although the education system here means that there really aren’t those kind of ‘bumpkins’ in the younger generations.
They are very simple people really. Too simple at times. Maybe that is why I like them. Although they lack courage and confidence for reasons I really dont understand, but people tell me is caused by the the tyranny of the classroom.
I grew up in a small town with simple people. It meant a lot of fist fighting. But aside from that, I still feel affection for ‘the little people’.

How to make money doing almost nothing in technology.
Take a bunch of java courses.
Get any job you can no matter what it entails.
Switch jobs every six months for the first eighteen months.
Seek out contract work for the government, insurance, or healthcare.
These projects are large, slow, constantly changing
Large company and government projects almost always fail.
Your end users are used to being forced to use shit software.
You can rotate jobs every six months to one year without ever really having to deliver anything that works.
Save 50% of your money.
Assuming you can save 50K per year, at the end of six years, you can cut your income need to 30K, do no work at all. and just let the power of compound interest do its work.
