I can do the messenger bag thing just fine. I love it.
I can’t do the whole eastern european man purse thing.
You know why they have them? Because the basic unit of currency is equivalent to $5 and $10. So a little money takes up a lot of space. So you need a man purse to carry around any money at all. Hence why the governmetns want to get rid of $100 bills, and the euro wants to get rid of $500 bills. It isn’t bulky enough. lol

Ukrainian fathers are so awesome.
They don’t seem burdened by having to be the be all end all.

You can lie in philosophy simply by choosing the standard in-group categories rather than the full set of categories.
If you start with this list:
Metaphysics, Epistemology, Ethics, Politics, Aesthetics.
You will produce very different conclusions from this list:
Existence (physics)
Metaphysics (actionability)
Biology (reproductive strategy)
Psychology (biases and limits)
Family (organization of reproduction)
Epistemology and Truth
Ethics (Logic of Cooperation)
Sociology (Organization of Production)
Politics and Institutions (Organization of production of commons)
Group Evolutionary Strategy
Warfare
Economics
Science and Technology.
Religion and Mythology
History and Aesthetics
Education.

OVERSING THOUGHTS
Once Kirill has a vacation, I have to revisit the Responsibiliities / Inbox issue.
I really don’t see why we can’t incorporate that view into the Tasks Panel, and use the same workspace filters. From the user’s perspective it’s just more ‘stuff to do’.
Now, the basis of the responsibilities/inbox panel is workflow responsibility rather than task assignment. But from the user’s perspective I still want to filter all those responsibilieis using the same criteria as tasks, with the only difference being that I want to see the workflow view (mostly NOT for tasks). And I don’t see why I can’t filter the workflow permissions just like I filter the assignments and ownership.
Because I want ONE list panel like that if I’m a user. I just feel like this panel throws off the model.

i will say it again. of course I love my family and tribe above all. but I also wish every other family and tribe to prosper, evolve, and transcend. As far as I can tell, our differences are just differences in skills when we practice truthfulness in all walks of life.
And yes, I understand that some groups practice untruthfulness and parasitism as strategies. But that is not a genetic necessity it is a cultural utility. And yes, I understand that some peoples cannot compete without parasitism and untruthfulness. I do not see why to harm them, but I see no value in expanding them.
Any man who fights for truth and liberty is my brother. Any man who uses truth and liberty to advance his family and tribe is a nobleman whom I will reciprocally insure.
this is how our families and tribes rase each other into transcendence.

OVERSING UPDATE
Revising the update because it turns out my concern over permissions on workflows is incorrect. Why? Because it’s not uncommon for the devs to be smarter than I am. 🙂
The organizational workflows (stuff in the organization) are governed by the Access Role permissions and you change them via the operations menu. The Task workflows (stuff within programs and projects) are governed by the program administration permission, and you change them as part of program->settings->Workflows.
So workflow-specific permissions are a ‘nice to have’ not a necessity. Why? well, when you create a new object in oversing, it looks through your org tree and takes the closest one. I would like this to be permission driven so that different groups in the same organization would ‘find’ different system workflows. We also have ‘weights’ that we can apply to these workflows but we haven’t exposed that in the UI yet. I want to see if we can do without it by using permissions.
REMAINING OPEN ISSUES IN PRIORITY ORDER
2) (EASY) Drag and Drop to move to Schedule State / Right Click to Schedule State (long standing issue. Always seems to get moved to lower priority. But it’s necessary.) We had quite a bit of debate over this because we don’t want the schedule state to be invasive or to add complexity since it isn’t necessary. So we decided on a compromise, and that is that we separate out the scheduling features into their own ‘block’ on the Tasks panel, and we don’t integrate the scheduling sub-phase into the Main Sequence: Backlog, To-Do(Active), Done.
7) (EASY) Still missing ability to select for organizations and display Program Statistics in the Tasks Panel. All tasks roll up to parent tasks. And yes, we flatten the data so that we aren’t querying hierarchies all the time. That means that we can show just the Program, project, or deliverable ‘rows’ and that they will reflect the data underneath them without requiring that we display all rows. So, in the tasks view you can easily see a worldwide operation’s active programs and report on them without having to expose the detail of each program.
6) (EASY) Minor Fixes to Forecasting and Responsibilities. (forecasts should be outer-joined on operational periods, so that we know what’s there and what’s missing) (responsibilities are your ‘inbox’ for workflow activity. and we need some minor tweaks to the table view.) Note: In the future, this panel will switch between email and responsibilities when we add email integration.)
3) (PAINFUL AND TIME CONSUMING) Display Appointments on the Gantt Chart. (long standing issue) (It’s hard to know what resourcing needs your attention without this feature. We are saving this for last because we find working with this bit of source code time consuming.)
4) (TIME CONSUMING) Cascading changes to the schedule when we delete dependencies are still not working correctly. I am not sure why this remains an issue.
5) (TIME CONSUMING) Add the accounting,payroll,operational period properties and functions. This is technically the ‘last feature’, because all it does is allow you to configure the lifecycle of when you allow submissions of different financial activity, and when you post and close it. I have no estimate on this but I suspect it’s a three week effort at the outside. I’m worried that the number of transaction touch points is high, and that it’s hard to test, so that is why despite being fairly simple (creating events), I am cautious about time.

I think a lot of philosophers aren’t accessible for three reasons:
1) the chaff is painful to sift through.
2) they cant answer criticism that survives sifting.
3) they actually can’t answer questions of consequence anyway.
Law is our philosophy. Everything else is sales and marketing.

(riffing off eli’s elites)
As a member of the 1% (on and off at least), and due to my avocation, I have the incentives of elites. And I cannot dismiss myself from eli’s criticism. On the other hand, my family is quite old, and carries old traditions, and in those old traditions I understand the obligations of the nobility(elites).
I understand them be cause we are dependent upon our commoners, as they are upon us. This is what makes the libertarians and jews weak: they have to appropriate some other group’s warriors for defense. But aristocracy may organize man into orders. And within those orders man may prosper. But without us to organize man, or without men to organize, we are both defenseless against competing men and a ruthless universe that could not care whether we succeed or fail.

(riffing off eli’s ‘confession’)
I set out to provide western man a rational and scientific language for arguing in support of his ancient civilization’s traditions. In doing so I discovered that it’s truth in the scientific sense, and sovereignty in the legal sense, and individualism in the political sense, that are the source of western uniqueness: our martial heritage as a voluntary warrior militia, not one of obedient soldiers.
So my work asks us to return to truth telling in every aspect of our daily lives. And to require truth telling in the commons by treating information as a commons that we must protect from pollution just as we do land, sea, air, and the animal and plant life under our care.
But if the people who are inspired by a demand for truth are racist, sexist, bigoted, straight, white, men, then that in itself tells us something profound, both about those men and about those who do not seek the truth, and who criticize those men.
I see my work as for the betterment of all mankind. As a necessary evolution from the superstitious to the mystical to the reasonable to the rational to the scientific – to the truthful. As our means of transcendence.
And so I am a scientist because I am a truth-ist. I am a nationalist because I am a truth-ist. I am a class-ist, because I am a truth-ist. I am a masculinist because I am a truth-ist. I am a nomocracy-ist because I am a truth-ist. I am a market-government-advocate because I am a truth-is. I advocate these things because they are objectively good for man. I do not just criticize the alternatives because reason and evidence tell me that they are bad for man. I see no value in criticizing others for advancing their interests. I see only value in advancing the good because the alternatives are good for some group or other, but not good for mankind as a whole.
