Historical Prescience | uncluttered: evolving discourse
https://unevodis.wordpress.com/2009/08/03/historical-prescience
Prepare to be challenged. August 3, 2009. Perhaps more important is the power that history has on our future, as commented. By many erudite men and women. George Santayana: Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. Karl Marx: History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce. Pearl S. Buck: One faces the future with one’s past. Maya Angelou: History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again. A Brief History of the Future.

Over time I will add and adapt this philosophy, and I invite you to comment and critique it. A pragmatic approach to the world. Like any sound philosophy, before we peer into the crystal ball, let me propose some undeniable truths:. We need to address the inequaliti...

It’s not a game, it’s life | uncluttered: evolving discourse
https://unevodis.wordpress.com/2009/08/13/its-not-a-game-its-life
Prepare to be challenged. In lieu of new thought…. It’s not a game, it’s life. August 13, 2009. Is it a game of chance or skill? That question runs through my mind as I check my hole cards – pocket aces. Play aggressive to scare off those who might hit a lucky card on the river, or trap my opponents and bilk them for as many chips as possible? Should be the metaphor of choice. Still, the chess analogy feels limiting. As the game progresses, the more likely a specific outcome arises. Each player s...Respo...

Multitask, schmultitask | uncluttered: evolving discourse
https://unevodis.wordpress.com/2009/08/06/multitask-schmultitask
Prepare to be challenged. In lieu of new thought…. August 6, 2009. Ideas for this blog post pop in and out of my mindscape like a carnival whack-a-mole stand – they’re not quite where my focus is, taunting me with beady eyes and pearly whites. It’s not writer’s block that’s guarding the on-ramp to my editorial freedom – like Little John, he’s demanding tribute. And all I can offer is some off the cuff fluff. And it’s not for lack of trying – unlike Spider Jerusalem. I can’t get no relief. The failure of ...

the big issue | one year studying law abroad
https://travelinglawstudent.wordpress.com/2010/03/17/the-big-issue
One year studying law abroad. Plus some time in dc beforehand). March 17, 2010. And we hung out there as long as we could. After the (trippy) movie, the guy was still there. I walked by, again, with Waffle & John and asked them, “what do you think that’s for? 8221; (As if they would know something that I didn’t! Mad at myself for not making eye contact both times, I went back and asked the guy what he was selling and what it was for. And, I’m so glad that I did! What a fabulous idea! On March 19, 2010.

Information Overload | uncluttered: evolving discourse
https://unevodis.wordpress.com/2009/07/29/information-overload
Prepare to be challenged. What’s your media diet? July 29, 2009. My RSS reader has over 1,000 unread items. My inbox is never down to 0. I’ve got stacks of books I’ve been meaning to read. TV shows I need to watch, bands I need to listen to. Reminds me of Blur’s Out of Time. And you’ve been so busy lately. That you haven’t found the time. To open up your mind. And watch the world spinning gently out of time. More of that would be nice. So would shutting off my data stream tap. But I’m too a...You are com...
