Cities are inherently places where wealth begets wealth. I can say after living in LA I see the process of its Mahattanization. My guess is my kids won't even understand a suburban LA other then as a historical artifact mostly represen

Oh cool, I don't normally meet math trained poets. Any links to your work? (I am not a poet myself, just highly involved, publishing, editing, etc).

Seems like this will be a growth technology field. Though I am making the assumption that developments will also apply to more then just the elderly. An example would be keeping a larger percentage of the population in peak or near peak men

The University of Oklahoma library is one of the few things I feel in love with while in college. I can see the library anxiety problem given the ridiculousness of the search function. And good luck actual talking to the librarian most of t

This reminds me of London's Great Smog of 1952 (Dec). It finally pushed the country and city to deal with the air pollution. Hopefully this does the same for the millions living each day in this current mess.

I agree. Given the quarterly earnings report cycle publicly traded companies are poor fits for developing innovative work. It is not the investment vehicle most conducive to long term investing.

I think the start of the count down clock is intentional. I have been on the opposite end where with out the countdown clock nothing real happens. And given the fiduciary duties of a publicly traded company talk first, results second is par

I don't know how much this matters. Harvard has the richest endowment but still has less money then nine individuals. I am just waiting for say the Carlyle Group to go public like KKR or Blackstone to make HH funds boring and mainstrea

As I read this I could not help but think the future is going to be bright. A glut of educated young people even in poorer countries. They will do things their parents could not even dream of. But it always is painful realizing you have to

I have spent my life moving from place to place. One thing I have learned is how to keep friends, because of the internet and cheap plane flights. If my friend lives in the U.S. it is basically the same place to me. This maybe an extension

Spot on. I have been involved across multiple publishers. The cost of the book is normally set by whatever is needed to pay the editors and authors to produce a quality book. And the continuation of the publisher.
