“In order to scratch the surface, you must first find the surface, then forge the tool to scratch it.” ~J. Parker Bench Here, I plan to go deep into the rabbit-hole. Follow if you can. Not much thought is ever given to riding the wave. The wave is metaphor. […]
Read MoreI was told once that capitalism is natural. Of course, I questioned the validity of this claim. What seems to be natural about it?
