The boss’s son effect
A long time ago a co-worker told me “there’s no asshole like the boss’s son”, though I cannot remember now who I am quoting. What he was saying was that the boss made the business what it is now, it’s success is their success. The boss’s children, if they have become involved in the business,… Continue reading

A most miserable happiness
I’m a big fan of reality, telling the truth, representing yourself as the flawed human you are rather than the modern overprotected ego creation I described in earlier posts. For this reason I am often drawn to the philosophy written by critical thinkers. The masters of suspicion as Roderick references some of them in one… Continue reading

Respect
What would be the reason behind recognising that something that is not important to you, is in fact important to someone else? I watch a lot of movies, and in some of them I find moments of great wisdom that I suspect the writer deliberately included, stuff I think we all absorb and consider subconsciously.… Continue reading

I met an horrific person
A car crashes and people die, the witnesses tell people how they felt about what happened, what a surprise it was to them that it happened, how they were ill prepared for it happening, how it has potentially impacted the thing that they were on their way to do. It’s almost impossible for them to… Continue reading

Wrongly aimed sympathy
A farming lad or lass, she grows up in the countryside surrounded by nature, the job is hers for life if she wants it and is willing to work hard, the house to live in is free.

Our outrageous fortune
The worst person is they that would exploit, make profit from, and wish praise for dealing with, the miseries you and I cannot conquer alone. No evil exists more than that which wishes your sickness to enable it’s remedy, and no person is so depraved that their validation is not gained without the existence of… Continue reading

No thanks Nige
William Patterson founded the bank of England in the reign of king William III (him of Orange). A central Bank enables certain financial mechanisms, economists generally agree that having one is a mighty good thang.. Nige, the son of a stock trader, educated at a private school, and himself previously a broker in financial markets,… Continue reading

End the traditions
I do not wear a poppy…. I’m about to be rather controversial, to say something that many will argue with. I would urge you to first think, then react. We will examine a tradition that I think I understand, that I personally have been very close to and involved in, but I have come to… Continue reading
