"A leaf in the wind, never is the master of it's fate"
Good wishes to y'all in your studies!
I had an indolent summer. Apreciating diminishing returns, I took the summer off of reading. I'm lying, I finished loose ends on some books I didn't finish, and couldn't resist Hazlitt's Thinking as a Science. Really, I started no new projects, and played too many indulgences, like games and family. It's time for me to start study again, and from time to time I would like to ask for all y'alls help, should that be dandy. I would like to be helpful too, but I likely might tell it to the wall, the way the folks around me try to make me feel. It'd be nice to find more folks, interested in debate. At my work they are so misologic. I have the feeling that most the people-loathing-faux-elitist-authoritarian-managment ask me questions just to get angry that they can not fathom a response to my statements. One day the GM walks up and asks "so you showin' X how to fix that". I discourse in jest, 'actually we were rapping monetary reform, would you like to get in'. He speed walked away. My misandrist boss comanded me stop using -name a weird price with change like .75cents or 1.75$ words- the amount of the word always changes, with the whacked in the head job obese woman. It sure doesn't help that she looks like the woman on the front of The S.C.U.M. Manifesto.I tried to tell her that I wasn't trying to use words she didn't understand, that I am happy to explain whatever terms I wish to bring up, because if at the very least knowlage is gained by discourse. She began gaining the shade of angry red through her caked warpaint. It sure didn't help I was appallingly trying to determine what that black spot of was a tattoo actually was on her vile cleavage. I never did or could look long enough to find out if it was perhaps her face. I think a man's ego is his greatest burden and worst enemy. I really hope I can find a place around Denver were I can chat with laissiz-faire folks. Anyway, I am trying to find a direction in this great field of praxeology. I'm mighty hard to institutionalize, so I think school is uncomfortable. I hope there is a place for me somewhere I just don't know a road to take. So I'll try not to get bored with hearing many of the same things already said, and go on. Is there anyone else looking for a specialization in economics, or more widely praxeology? I wish the self learned gentleman wasn't an anachronism.
Good day; and thanks for making it through my venting out steam.
Individualism Rocks
"life is much more than the modern interpritive."
LOL - I've no problems with Whako's - you make me laugh
But it seems your having personal challenges trying to co-exist with reality.
IMHO you should forget economics & get some therapy
I was hoping to at least, spawn a laugh.
I'm glad you called my crazy, but I would like to know what kind of stereotype(illness) you want to lable me with. Paranoid, multiple personality, tell me. Psychology, is a praxeological field I would like to learn more about, maybe you could reccomend a good book on the subject. I'm not trying to fit in with anyone, but to be honest, so that I can be an individual. I'm an individualist who thinks that working with others is part of the natural order. You see folks can achieve more ends when they work togethor through there specializations. I'm sure you are familiar with the concept of the division of labor. If I were to give myself a complex or disorder, I would say it is of a Dorian Grey, in nature. Thank goodness I am slowly looking older, it does buy a bit of respect; age. You sound like one of the Procrustian hords, I enjoy interaction with. I like it when folks have different opinions on things, it makes for a nice debate, unless they are willed ignorant. Are you in management somewhere, I hope I didn't offend your conformist beliefs. And mostly, just what is reality to you may be a different view on what reality is to someone in a different situation.
Good day GWilly
Bank Run:Is there anyone else looking for a specialization in economics, or more widely praxeology?
Besides teaching, what areas are you thinking about? I would love to continue my education and actually have a career involving Austrian economics and/or praxeology, but not in teaching. I find it has been useful in my personal endeavors or as a methodology, but not as a career in and of itself.
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV. And you think you're so clever and class less and free. But you're still f***ing peasants as far as I can see.
There's room at the top they are telling you still. But first you must learn how to smile as you kill, if you want to be like the folks on the hill.
Aside from being a teacher, I see austrian infuenced jobs in law, psychology, financial advisors, author, and I'm trying to think of more. I am aggrevated that there is likely no way out of going back to university. I feel like degrees, are just stamps of government aproval, they make a barrier to entry on the market. My out locally, is that in Colorado therapists, need not licensing. That should give the GWilly's the creeps. I may end up being that nut in a nice office, your telling your problems too. I want to avoid becoming another plunderer, that means working for the state is out. A strong goal of mine is to out intervention of all kinds. Without protectionism, their would be a whole lot of opportunities. Entrepeneurship may be a good means. I remember hearing to be a good economist, one must have knowledge in many sciences. All I really know, is that I have a whole lot more to learn. I need to focus my studies more. I'm thinking of learning more about anthropology.
I share your aggrevation because while discovering the Austrian school has influenced me greatly in nearly all aspects of my life, I find it frustrating that I cannot reasonably pursue this area as a profession. While, like you, I have much, much more to read and learn, this has developed into a sincere, tireless passion. Undoubtedly, it will help me in any career I end up pursuing, but I will likely be forced back to school, which I have become increasingly critical of since graduating last year. Entrepeneurship is a great idea. But again, what is your business? It likely will involve a particular trade or skill outside of praxeology. You may employ the Austrian teachings, but not as a stand-alone service, at least from my viewpoint.
I don't necessarily reject learning a new skill or discipline, but again, it will likely involve returning to school for my piece of paper.
