Alex, my primary question is: how to you have time to create these treatises?
I am familiar with most of what you describe, and generally have come to similar conclusions. So while not a lot may be new to me, I definitely feel you’ve synthesized key insights from a number of fields and how they triangulate on issues including very topical ones. Synthesis like this takes real time to write… how do you balance your day such that the time needed exists?
Well, this one has been cooking for a while. And, I've been in Kauai all week not working. Also I've been working on a bunch of stuff for my master's thesis so reading, synthesizing, and writing are all part of that game. And I space things out quite a bit - I have 5 working drafts going on a number of related topics right now. I try to spend at least 1 hour every other day improving them to the point of publishing. Long way of saying, I make the time because I find it valuable to express my self in writing.
A week in Kauai would help :). If you have a layover in Honolulu at any point let’s grab lunch - the airport’s easy to get to.
Our whole family will be on Oahu 25-dec to 02-jan. See you then?
SG, we’re usually here over the holidays. Let’s check in November-ish.
