tell me what he just said.
anything? didnt think so.
i will say, in terms of trading, dont follow the rules of your trading
plan and watch your money disappear.
how is a stop light "utterly pointless"? if its not there during rush
hour, there's anarchy, and mr holiday will be spending his holiday in
the hospital if he's lucky...could be a grave.
"The reality is that most rules are dumb. And poorly thought out. And
an impediment to action"
the only examples he gives follows the line of Aurelius and his
depressing words... don't forgot "utter" ambiguity thrown all over the
place for good measure.
he must fall victim to keepin up with the Jones' or something to even
consider those "random" rules he throws in for example. rules are "to
make us be like everyone else", eh? go out to get breakfast in yoru
underwear then..or better yet, your birthday suit and walk by
McDonalds play area to get your McCoffee and McCheeseOmelet. you're
Mr Holiday. You dont live by rules. You creat them..ad get put on
the national pedophile list by breaking them. You don't have time to
bother about cookin' or botherin about clothes. Bowel movement
imminent, you say? Drop off the weight of the world by the
Hamburgler's ladder. and piss down the slide because you're fascinated
by the "little river" you created. "Its apple juice kiddies."
no idea what the point of that post is. must be to validate his own
choices or something.
lets read anotehr, shall we.

the money line:
after he shows his rules of lifestyle, inclyding american apparel (he
was the chief marketer at one point, believe he's still on the board
of directors.) and even more expensive clothes (amer apparel pants are
70 smackers, the other ones are 90 or so)/..jesus christ, t shirts,
similar to hanes but "kill bacteria" (for what reason, no idea) that
cost 64$! 64$! wtf. nike shoes, hahahaha, he's a proponent of child
slave labor. no problem there.
"
I don't want to hear any bullshit about how I can wear or only
afford these things because of my job. Only someone trying to
rationalize their own situation would claim it was so black and white.
We've talked plenty about making your own rules. I make mine.
"
rationalize what? i live on the cheap, and i have no worries about my
lifestyle nor anyone elses. he has some kind of social status he's
protecting/preserving. if one of your facvorite places to get
household goods isn't Goodwill, then you're an idiot. not everything
there is worthwhile, but you can find some real steals.
who's this guys' audience? to even comprehend his stuff would mean
you never read. plus, he's 24, whats he know about philosophy other
than quoting "stoics" from back in the day. hey, they did this, you
should, too. its not an option if you want to be hip like me. thjats
one thing me and BioShock have in common: the illusion of chouice, but
you gotta play by my moral rules to succeed.
i wouldnt let that kid pay me to read his ambivalent, ambiguous crap.
