At first I was for the rules, then they failed me and I turned against them, then I realized it was simply about solving problems. The rules might work…or not. Let others quibble about “the rules,” (whatever those are). I’ve got problems to solve. Musings, Volume 1 is available here: Musings, Volume 1 Get Echo Vol. 1…

“What’s the meaning of life?” That can be answered by exploring our tendencies and creating our own meaning. If we do this correctly, we experience fulfillment and the question doesn’t matter.

As I’ve navigated complexity/adversity, I‘ve suffered damage. I’ve suffered countless headaches and been dragged down into wasteful expenditures of time/effort. But rather than retreat into comfortable simplicity, closing myself off from the deeper reaches of the fantastic unknown, I choose to craft this damage into weapons and tools. So instead of withdrawing, I can venture…

Discipline and work ethic have to fulfill you. They have to serve a higher purpose. Otherwise, in the long run, they’re meaningless tributes to an empty ideal.
