April Update
I have been trying to blog all month. I know I need to publish more content on the blog and launch my new one under the name Art Stardust. There are many things I need to do. The number of them is the least of my problems, though. The main…Continue Reading
Learning Curves
I used to be impressed with people when they claimed to be particularly intelligent. Now I know that if someone is intelligent, they are unlikely to say so. The most intelligent people I’ve ever met are most likely to downplay it. There is a psychological phenomenon that in general, the…Continue Reading

Obliviously Obvious
After Facebook went down last week, I’ve been exchanging numbers with a lot of you, and I’ve been amazed at how many of you are still reading this blog. I feel that I have a lot to explain. Like I said in my last post, a lot of these things…Continue Reading
