  • Numbers in ledgers is a description of banking but money and banking are not the same thing.

    Alternatively you could be describing money management, keeping a ledger of an account. Money management is the management of money but it is not money itself.

    A collection of coins or bills is worth a certain amount and when you add or remove money the amount changes but you do not need to update any accounts.





  • I believe that leaders are needed to understand and take responsibility for the work of a group of people. Groups without a leader, without expert direction, will not create and adhere to processes that lead to success.

    There are certainly exceptions to this, for example, highly skilled workers who share in the profit may not need to be supervised by someone else.







  • In the 2000s I worked in IT and we hosted a spam filter. Back then people would send out seemingly harmless email, about Jack’s golf game or the picnic on Sunday, and their goal was to build up their domain’s reputation as a legitimate sender. Then one day they’ll send out spam and it’ll get through the filter until the spam filter catches on and cuts off that domain.






  • I think in life we struggle so much to survive and to care for those we love, and when people we love die it is very difficult. I think most people probably have a natural sense of right and wrong in regards to treatment of the dead. I don’t know that this is a continuation of a person’s right to governance over their body, I think it’s more of a general reverence for life and death that we all experience. I’m surprised to learn that in California where I live human remains are treated like any other property.
