Unhelpful Nice Behavior
Water and Ice https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Aug05_Post.mp3 Life is filled with paradoxes. According to the harsh rules of economics, everything costs something. Plenty of philosophy and poetry is filled with ideas of expecting one thing, and getting something else. The entire history of government involvement in an otherwise smoothly functioning economy is filled with examples […]
Attraction By Elimination
Logic Solution https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Aug04_Post.mp3 Once upon a time, there was an American mathematician. The U.S. version of Alan Turing during WWII.

Natural Game Frame
Objective Spectrum https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22July23_Post.mp3 Things look much differently from an outside, objective standpoint.

Mayor Charisma
Who’s He? https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22May11_Post.mp3 A long time ago I was at this open house. A Japanese style Buddhist church. Not sure if “church” is the right word.

Black Swan Love
Movie Meaning https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Mar07_Post.mp4 The movie Black Swan was one of those movies that is open to interpretation.
