    ECONOMICS: LIES AND DAMNED LIES

    Growth = Productivity increase

    Expansion = Population increase

    Expansion is bad, growth is good.

    —“when I debate someone suffering from “dead-end” philosophy, I just ask them “Where’s the connection with fundamental science that we see with Thales, Plato, Aristotle, Epicurus, Aquinas, Descartes, Hobbes, Leibniz, Hume, Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche, Husserl, Heidegger and all the analytic thinkers? What’s changed? How is that a good change? Have the foundations of metaphysics changed, of have you lost your way?”— Adam Voight

    BODYGUARDS

    You now, I actually enjoy anonymity. But nothing draws attention like bodyguards. Or as we call it over here “security”.

    I mean, it’s like the Ferrari. Once you realize that having one means every jackoff-nutjob is going to notice you and try to start a conversation, the emotional benefits dissipate rapidly. Same with Bodyguards. You know, it’s all well and cool to wish you could have them until you realize that it’s not really cool that you NEED them. Or it’s like being manager, director, General, CEO or President. Yeah. You know, it seems like something cool until you realize that the negatives always come very close to outweighing the positives. And that only the money makes it worth it – because you can go into hiding afterward.

    The only difference here, is that the ‘Security’ is most likely a couple of guys you wouldn’t mind spending an evening with anyway. 🙂

    Anyway. Sigh….

    CULTURAL OBSERVATIONS : GENDER CONCEPTS

    Amazing conversations with Ukrainian women the past few days. Pretty consistent:

    (a) Men are, in the main, smarter than women – but when they say this, it means a compartmentalized view of intelligence – it’s technical and political. This opinion has taught me a little bit about american view of intelligence for women – it’s a very administrative and sales based view of the world world. Over here it’s a political and technical view.

    (b) Women are much better at details – “this is a woman’s job, I must do this”. Meaning, “men are not able to do this well, women must do it”.

    (c) Men smack each other. That is like women being emotional.They are things that happen.

    I have heard this version of compatibilism a lot over here. There is nothing ‘negative’ about it at all. No animosity. No conflict. In fact, celebration of differences.

    But I wonder – as a society becomes increasingly white collar and under greater rule of law, is gender competition then a natural evolution?
