solution to an existential threat to humanity. Below is a short, brutish

When Malaysian flight MH370 "disappeared" on March 8th, 2014, I was like

Sexism in the UK
There are a few of quick notes about the UN's Rashida Manjoo's claim that
the UK is endemically sexist and that is is worse here than "other places".
Firstly, it's a bit of a shock, if I'm honest. I've written a fair few
things about gender and sexism, and of course I'm aware of and appreciate
the work feminist comrades have done tackling 'everyday' sexism. That said,
while much still needs to be done I didn't for one moment think that the
UK's sexism problem was worse than other developed nations. Okay, leaving

Eckhart Tolle, "Suffering"
"True freedom and the end of suffering is living in such a way as if you

inner alignment with Now is the end of suffering. Is suffering really
necessary? Yes and no. If you had not suffered as you have, there would be
no depth to you as a human being, no humility, no compassion. You would not
be reading this now. Suffering cracks open the shell of ego, and then comes
a point when it has served its purpose. Suffering is necessary until you
realize it is unnecessary."

*“So It's Tax Day Again”*
by Karl Denninger
“How often do you sit down and think about this? If you're a W2 employee,
it should be every payday, but it probably isn't. Indeed, you probably only
think about it once a year, when you file your taxes, and then you get it
exactly backward when the IRS sends back your money that you foolishly
overpaid and let them have free for the entire rest of the year.
If you're an independent (such as myself) then you probably think about it
four times a year, because you're making estimated payments. But in that

THE 77 PERCENT CONFUSION: It’s a real statistic!
*TUESDAY, APRIL 15, 2014*
*Part 2—But what does it mean:* That famous “77 cents on the dollar”
statistic is a real statistic. It’s an actual measure of an actual state of
affairs.
Almost always, the familiar statistic is cited by “liberals” and Democrats.
Often, it’s cited in a way which misinforms or misleads.
Two examples:
In January, President Obama hit the road in the wake of his State of the

Psychology: "Positive Self-Deception"
*"Positive Self-Deception"*
by Damninteresting.com
"Most people think of the "mentally disordered" as a delusional lot,
holding bizarre and irrational ideas about themselves and the world around
them. Isn’t a mental disorder, after all, an impairment or a distortion in
thought or perception? This is what we tend to think, and for most of
modern psychology's history, the experts have agreed; realistic perceptions
have been considered essential to good mental health. More recently,
however, research has arisen that challenges this common-sense notion.
In 1988, psychologists Shelly Ta... more »
"Who Are You? How Do You Know?"
"Go without a coat when it's cold; find out what cold is. Go hungry; keep
your existence lean. Wear away the fat, get down to the lean tissue and see
what it's all about. The only time you define your character is when you go
without. In times of hardship, you find out what you're made of and what
you're capable of. If you're never tested, you'll never define your
character."
- Henry Rollins

Business 360 17: Electricity and GDP Growth
* This is my article for Business 360, a monthly magazine published in
Kathmandu, Nepal, April 2014 issue.
------------
Electricity powers many economic activities in any society, from small
shops that give jobs to micro entrepreneurs to cranes that build huge and
tall buildings. Economies that rely more on human and animal power and
energy tend to be very poor because of low productivity while those that
use more machines that run on extensive electricity tend to be rich because
of higher productivity.

Labor Econ 13: The Term 'Jobless Growth' is Wrong
* This is my article in thelobbyist.biz last Friday.
-----------
The term "jobless growth" is wrong. Growth means more or additional output
from (a) more workers and entrepreneurs employed, or (b) the same number of
workers and entrepreneurs producing more from the same input (ie, higher
productivity).
If (b) happens, then higher productivity people will create new jobs
elsewhere -- additional nanny for the kids, eating outside more often, jobs
for those in restos/bars/hotels.
Assuming that the same number of employed people, say 37 million, was
recorded this year as last year, it ... more »

There is no democracy whatsoever. Voting is a mask for rule by a few
