  1. @Troy did you invite Tavonia Evans to the site. She could talk about Crypto in general and her coin in particular.
  2. @ProfD let's hope so before the game is over.
  3. You can't, other people do that for you.
  4. Then why bother posting?

  7. I love the comments. Especially about fried chicken and slavery.
  8. Is Troy saying that you can't tell you are smarter than people around you. Our that people around you aren't smart, in which case you're average? I am going to make a word to describe this, complisult. Starts as compliment ends as an insult @Mel Hopkins if you were flying international from 97-00 we may have met. Actually I used to fly to the islands around Christmas 84-91.
  9. @Troy I think that both Mel and are comfortable in the spiritual and the intellectual. In addition she lime yourself is amphibious we can swim in both cultures. The regional controller wrote me such a good recommendation, the Dean of admissions at Yale University grad school was impressed. I hadn't finished undergrad. He said we don't take people out of undergrad. But when I showed him my letter of recommendation. He said but we do make exceptions. It's obvious to me that @Mel Hopkins is above average in intelligence and esoteric knowledge. Possibly however perhaps some women who "knew" Casanova might disagree. Tee hee hee. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/travel/who-was-casanova-160003650/ He was an intellectual , an astrologer and a talented writer. All of which was news to me. Apart from the more than 120 notorious love affairs with countesses, milkmaids and nuns, which take up about a third of the book, the memoir includes escapes, duels, swindles, stagecoach journeys, arrests and meetings with royals, gamblers and mountebanks
  10. DEC was big in in the Boston area. I did a co-op at Wang Labs in the mid 80's. So you are giving me a flash back.
  11. It makes more sense that way. But that isn't what she meant
  12. I used to know a guy who owned a thrift shop. I bought most of my furniture from him. I asked him to let me know if he comes across a spice rack. He said you're the last guy that cooks in Manhattan.
  13. Did Malcolm Little waste his time? He was a junky before he became Malcolm X. While I see you're point and don't agree, am I not trying to defend or justify rapist. Although it is an interesting rhetorical approach. When have I ever been advocate for harming others @Troy
  14. Yes hobbies and pastimes are a way of escaping reality. Just remember that the world exists only in your mind. If you think your a genius, then you're a genius. Everyone lives in their own world it is only a problem when these self delusions impinge on others. A friend once said if you enjoy it , the time isn't wasted. Most people fall into one of those categories, so this isn't new. If you didn't escape the madness you would go mad. I heard that dreams allow us to go mad every night. You both are right. Contextually, the subject is the Metaverse. However I wanted to suggest entertaining the idea, that disposable time is generally used to escape reality or the mundane aspect of our existence. How many things aren't an escape from reality?
  15. @Mel Hopkins thanks, for a clear and concise explanation.
  16. @Troy thanks I think she is suggesting books to understand those signs. Not what those signs should read. Part of my new techniques of reading time is an outgrowth of our Trump bet. It was worth the hunnert. I have a few thousand and every so often when I go to my mundane folder I think of your chart re Trump.
  17. Would this result in more book sales or is it going to limit book sales but expand the resale market.
  18. If people think clearly we all have less problems. How much of life's problems are perception. Racism sexism and every other prejudice is the result of a false sense of superiority. I tend to think holistically. Why ask questions and then criticise the answers? You are likely to get less responses. I am not keen on interrogation. So I'm with @ProfD. You may not intend it but you sound a bit peevish. It's like our responses don't fit the narrative you're writing.
  19. I would want people to be able to think freely.
