Morning Summary, 6/22

Managed to hold the numbers, but not expand them.  I suppose that is good, but it gets harder today.  It will be busier than yesterday.

Meanwhile, I've been thinking of how to sharpen up the blog a bit more. Make the message more focused. Yesterday, I changed the header to "emphatically unconventional" which was part of that effort. I signed off last night with the question of how to apply that concept to politics and markets. But that is the rub, because neither of these permit that very much. Each are governed by rules. Once you deviate from those, you tend to get into trouble.

Here's a way to think of it: arts and sciences are laboratories where experiments can take place. But markets and politics are where you have to get real and follow the rules. Now, politics is where you can change the rules. With markets, you can change the products. Ok, let's see: experimentation from the lab is where you look for different ways of thinking and doing that can be put to real world action. I want to look for solutions for real world problems in the lab so that the needed changes can take place in the real world. Solving problems is the goal. The ultimate goal is to get to the next level. This is called "Kardashevian Aspirations".

I've decide to make this a sidebar entry. By clicking on the label, you can see all the posts that will show how the blog has evolved over time.
