Mate,
Thanks so much for the chat we had on Skype the other week, great insight into your thinking.
I hope to catch up with you in the future.

I have been out and about, so missed your call. Was planning on sending a quick e-mail to the ex-pat from Frankfurt, later on. Planning to ensure that him and I are singing from the same hymn sheet, at present. I've been going through your file, making potential amendments and the like, and expect him to do similar, as Outdoors was going to do.

New piece you can read if you like.

Thanks for the FR. I hope my acceptance logged properly on your profile. If not let me know.

I have seen you around here a little and I'll try to read more of your stuff as time passes.

You may be interested in a little campaign I have been waging for some months now. I post regularly on the Harvard Business Review blog network (can't even remember how that started now), and I find it is one more academic setting where feminist presuppositions are implanted as fact. This seems dangerous to me because HBR's emphasis is on corporate leadership and executive development, and they regularly post articles defaming men, asserting female privilege, calling for quotas of women in top positions and making all kinds of sexist and presumptive remarks about men and male roles.

So I take them on. Actually, what few supportive replies I get generally come from women, and the men just mostly stay silent or make kowtowing remarks about what a great injustice, etc, etc.

My other emphasis on that blog is my continuing assault on economic elitism. Now, I am intrigued at the combinations I have seen commented on here on this site: feminism + racism; feminism + academia; feminism + civil rights; etc. What I have stumbled onto at HBR.com is an alive-and-well formula of feminism + globalization and feminism + economic caste system.

Might want to have a look over there sometime. It won't be hard to spot me even though I use a different name and avatar. Just find any article about women in the past three months and look for one guy who eschews feminism, spells correctly and thinks in paragraphs.

If you think it a worthy endeavor, spread the word.

Thanks again and looking fwd to more interaction

ill give you a call later, seems your not on skype now..

Sent you my details.
Richard

I have sent you an email to the last email address I had.

Where are you Brother Archit? Are you well? What are you up to?
Talk to me.

Hey.

Hey! I have an update for you but can't send it (I tried) because your PM box is full. If you clear some space I'll send it right over.

Hey there TFB, I have been busy lately and haven't gotten around to giving you my email address. It's OrffKevin@yahoo.com

If you can pass it along to the homeless shelter dude that would be cool.

How's things?

KO

Someone else has sent me a private message, are you unable to for some reason? How do I enable it then?

hey, do you know how to get ahold of that homeless shelter guy? the housewife's husband? He seemed like a guy to get to know in the MRM who actually does stuff to help out. maybe like he has his shit together. anyway, you know how to get ahold of him?

I don't know, they can do whatever they want. I understand their frustrations because I feel the same way. Sadly, it will get much worse before it will get better. And compared to others, I have a lot of other dissatisfaction that are bigger than feminism. Feminism is just a manifestations of the things I disagree with.

And yes, my mother did that. My mother's side grandparents raised me until I went to school. The problem is that if I emigrate, I won't have my parents with me. And I'm unsure about how good my husband's parents will be. Besides, I think that when I will have kids, I will want to be with them. Especially since I was considering homeschooling because the schools are becoming more and more moronic and just propaganda pushers, not information dissemination and critical thinking promoters.

I think I'm kinestesic. I think touch and smell are the most excitable senses I have. I love pleasant scents and scent notes, while I find bad smells horrible and they make me nauseous. I have no trouble at listening the conversation of someone else, while having one with a friend or stuff like this. And yes, I am sensitive to touch and I find some fabrics repugnant and itchy. I enjoy most natural fabrics, but even for sleep, I enjoy satin sheets because they're smoother than cotton ones and I love how they feel against my skin.

Oh, and my vision is the same. I notice details that others miss, but I can't say my eyes are oversensitive to things.

Thanks!

I read newspapers like The Economist, WSJ and a couple of others online. The Mises institute has some good articles and a bunch of other sites.

And older friends tolerate my obsessions. lol. I suck at doing social superficial chit chat. I get those awkward moments in which nobody says anything and one of the two asks a question to break the silence and the other replies in a weird way because the question had no relevance and it was out of the blue.

LSE is one of my picks for my MBA, but the EU has horrible financing means for people who don't have the money down. But again, considering both the UK and US economies are going down the crapper, if I will inherit, I will probably afford education with just that and with my brother's help who has an IT business and is doing pretty well. This if the UK or US government doesn't keep tuition costs artificially high like they're doing now through guaranteed student loans programs and so on.

UNC is better ranked than LSE though and the living costs in Chapel Hill are a lot smaller than in London. If in 5 years, I will be a MBA graduate from one of the schools I want to attend, me and my parents won't have to worry about money anymore... I just hope I will convince my father to accept my help though. I wish my family wouldn't have been so stupid in their financial issues because I wouldn't have had to worry about any kids of economic issue right now.

Like, they could have bought 4 one roomed places here when they were 5-6000$ each. Last year they were around 100 000$ each. My grandparents inherited a part of a house and due to inflation ended up buying a rug with that money. And due to the stupidity of my step-grandfather, my grandmother waved rights to a place that would have been worth over 250 000$ for one that was worth like 100 000$. I guess he couldn't tolerate the place being on her name, even though they were married and it would have been split. But again, my step-grandfather hasn't been the most favorable member of my family and fucked a lot of things up. This combined with the fact that my parents had visas for the US and I would have been born there and could get scholarships and grants and better loans... I told my step-grandfather about that thing with buying 4 one roomed places and he mocked me for being a business woman. I was like 12-13 then. It is PATHETIC when a 12 years old can give you better investment advice. So my family could have right now over a million and giving me 100-150k for education would have been no problem. Now I can just hope and pray for favorable circumstances...

He has a 6 years old and an one year old daughter. I wish I was this smart at 6, let alone 1. But yes, I like Jim Rogers, Peter Schiff. There are lots of people I like in the financial business and finance is an attracting field for me. I find it fascinating(maybe this is why I have a lot of awkward moments when I meet with people that aren't friends that know me for years - I find stuff like politics, societal issues, economics and finance, psychiatry fascinating) and I wish I would have went to finance school instead of marketing. But eh, it might suit me well if I will get a MBA in Finance. I want to do finance or enterpeneurship for my MBA. Or financial planning or economics, but I'm not that sold on the latter because I won't learn stuff I can't learn from books at economics and planning is probably incorporated in finance.

So if I will get a MBA in Finance from a top 20 school, be fluent in English, Romanian, Italian and Mandarin(I also speak a tad of Spanish - like I can have a conversation in it, but nothing fancy - and a bit of French), I will be really coveted by employers. And I will be able to make enough money by my 30s bday and aquire enough experience to invest from home.

Actually, I don't know what to do about kids. I mean, I want 2 or 3. But I don't really trust schools and I'd like to homeschool them. This is a problem for me that I don't know how to manage.

Yes, I will want to learn Mandarin in the next 5 years or so so that I know it more or less fluently by the time I graduate my masters.
