On value investing:
A stock tends towards it's attractor state, which is it's intrinsic value. Price is an illusion.
So likewise life tends towards it's attractor state, which are the ideas contained in it's being. The march of events, or history, is an illusion.
On governance:
Governance is a kind of model to deal with the problem of the orderly and stable distribution of authority over a territory, within a system of States, and wider economic systems. Things like social compacts and forms of contracting are endogenized within the model of governance. These models are very unique to each country.
The change of models happen once in a very long time, and real revolutions are very rare. Most so called revolutions preserve the same model of governance within new institutions.
Every state, through it's existing model of governance, implies the form of violence it can accommodate, before the coordinates of society itself breaks down. Failed states, perhaps, are the only seeds of new models of governance.
On jobs:
What is your ideal job? Its the job which has you as you are as it's ideal.
On art:
Art without spirituality is like science without mathematics. Hence modern art is a waste of time. In music, modern refers to anything after the Baroque era.
