There is not, and never was, a free market; neither in philosophy nor in implementation.

Given a finite amount of time, only that which is most interesting is considered. This is efficient. This is also a lazy closed-minded efficiency.

I have conversations with random people, many of whom inspire me enough to write blog-length responses.
I want to free ideas stranded in email. To do that, I write them into a blog post. Sometimes I do this well after the fact.

Emails are like old fashioned love letters. They are written on parchment using a quill, sprayed with perfume and sealed with wax. They are hand-delivered on horseback. They are read and perhaps re-read. They are replied-to and cited.
But they are private.

I think I’ve been able to bring my various experiences to a time management system which works for me.
Examples:
- Five Things is currently what I do.//
- Unplugging is really important.//
- Computers > Operating environment
- Projects > Project management
- Task management

A down-and-out traveler discovers a pair of sunglasses which let him see through the illusions aliens have been using to control mankind.
With overtones of the manipulation of the everyman, I would easily put this movie in the same class as Nineteen Eighty-Four. However, the otherwise weighty impact is cushioned by comedy, great characters and a great story. Though old, this movie stands the test of time. Easily considered satirical-horror, there’s much more to it.
This is, in a sense, a bubblegum movie that delivers a subtler message. It tickles the viewer’s cognitive dissonance. Some viewers will easily “get it”, and some will merely find it entertaining. I hope those between those two groups will be particularly intrigued.
Mandatory viewing.
