    There is something about shelves. For some reason the ultimate design for a room to me is covered with the things. I even designed one room with 2 cabinet doors on each wall where one could hand paintings, but behind would of course be more shelves. I could never have enough shelving as more shelves…

  • Economic Harmonies

    Biol / Genetics, Corporations, from Pitas

    I especially like the last paragraph. Are we really certain that the mechanism of society, like the mechanism of the heavenly bodies or the mechanism of the human body, is subject to general laws?

    from Pitas, Paper / Board Games

    Politicians are like 16 year old boys. Played Risk last night with a four 16 year olds. They made these blatently faux pacts all the while planning how to break the deal.
