I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

"I've never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they're only men with the useful bits cut off."

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Meanwhile our President sides with Beijing and against the American flag-waving protestors.  Disgusting.
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

We also recently had a nice minor spate of western corporations taking sides on geopolitical issues in the name of sales.  Always a bad sign.
