Seva,

Thanks for the clips, and feel free to give your thoughts on the many questions posed on this thread. After this last week, Ph.D.s in economics from Harvard don't mean chit to me. Your thoughts on the economic future of the safe/radiant zones are welcome.

Zynox,

I couldn't be happier to hear that you've given up on the gurus - in an age where following has led us to the brink of disaster, you strike me as the type of guy who has something to teach. Discovering that we are our own gurus is freedom.

And on another note, although a little off topic given the thread, let me be the first to say that I don't want to go to first grade. Did I wake up from my soul sleep and imposed imprisonment just put on another garb of captivity? For the "good" or "bad," our mistakes as a species are ours to make. If we destroy ourselves, so be it. If we destroy ourselves as part of someone elses game, that is true tragedy. I am not a resource - I am a man. I am not a market - I am a man. I did not shed one patriarchy just to join another.

I too feel that hard times are ahead, and I hope that all who have posted here end up safe.

May you all be safe in the coming age.
