LifestreamWith little else to do I spent the last couple of weeks training for a forklift certificate. I thought it might come in handy at some point. Plus it was free. Obviously. Overall I must say driving a fork lift was more difficult than I had imagined. That is to say, speedily moving and stacking [...]

One thing that always strikes me as odd whenever I’m at the university library is why there are always so many students of economics loitering. Loud and arrogant as they are, apart from their demeanor one must also wonder what sort of skew society we have shaped for ourselves where economists and jurists are two [...]
It’s funny that whenever you’re playing one of those strategic international relations role-playing games in a group with other people, the plot always starts two paces from global thermonuclear war.

As I have suspected for a long time now, the so called program for Social Psychology that I have attended for three years turned out to be a fad. If I did not understand it before it became painfully clear during the grand finale today. It’s really not more complicated than that. A fad filled [...]
I had to do something. And today is the last day for applying obviously. Looks like I’ll be digging thru some stray courses like Social Anthropology and Political Theory. Could be Evolutionary Psychology. Maybe. Unless I find a job. Does it seem whimsical? It is. Do I seem uninspired? A bit. My increasing disillusionment has [...]
