  1. Leaping
  2. I am, for the most part, experiencing myself as objectively existing subjectivity. It calls for a cocktail, but this drink can't be named.

  15. Idea of the day #2: Pump sappy, feel-good romantic dramas/comedies into prison cells 24/7. Okay, not 24/7. All waking hours. Brainwash.
  16. Idea of the day: Profitable markets (e.g. cheap tools) in world's poor areas lead to more prosperity than offering direct donations.

  22. Mom knows best. Yes, mom. Got it. I love you.
  23. Me overreacting = hope, actually. Practically nothing perturbs me. I'm actually looking up. The world is indeed beautiful, and I'm uplifted.
  24. The future cannot truly begin until it's a clean slate, no longer a carcass full of memory banks... a sad, tough balance in between.
  25. (That doesn't mean people don't tell ME things offline, of course. I am sort of a depository of confidences.)
  26. Hi Tracey @tktaylor. Good to hear from you. If I tell more, I'll probably get in trouble. I don't tell anything offline, by the way. Regards
