What is Conservatism

What is Conservatism

2016 was a big year for me politically. I moved from being predominantly a progressive and liberal to being predominantly a conservative and libertarian.

It really started after the death of my father (2013). Responsibility kicked in and I had to face some rather hard questions about my self and what I believed in. I had to grow up.

To be continued….

Time Preference Theory

Time Preference Theory

The Study of Economics is really a study about how humans organise their surrounding environment to achieve a goal, or an end. A very important aspect of this organizing factor is how we think of time.

It is not only curious but necessary to understand that the human condition has both a nonlinear-arrow-like aspect and a circular-cyclical aspect with regards to time.

We are born, we grow old, have children and slowly meet our end. This is the nonlinear-arrow-like aspect.

Holding My Breath

Holding My Breath

Sometimes it amazes me the things I have done. I must have been about 13 when breath holding became a game and a challenge. I used to run a bath at home, dive in and try to hold my breath as long as I can. I would have a Casio watch on my wrist to measure the passing time.

In the beginning I wasn’t very good, holding my breath for a minute was difficult but over time I learned that I need to first calm down my mind and would spend about 5 minutes meditating, calming all my bodily functions before taking the plunge.

Environments Anchor

Our Minds are oriented by the artifacts around us. Our understanding of time, people, our beliefs, habits, etc… are a function of what we place around us and where we situate our selves. This is because our physical surroundings anchor our psychological environments. People who live in fast cities become fast. People who work in organised work environments become more organised themselves. People who live in clean environments, keep their inner environment clean. Etc…

Articles

I have always fancied myself a bit of a writer, ha ha :-) but I know I am not one of those, I have read too many who are. It doesn’t matter too much anyway. What I do hope is that you like what I have written. There will be a few mistakes, especially grammatical errors and typos. I was never any good at all that. I have also changed my views significantly since these articles were written. So what is here is only what I was thinking when I wrote it and not necessarily things I hold dear or near now. Recently, I have decided a policy that may be summarized as ‘publish whatever’. That means I won’t generally wait till I have finished whatever I am working on before I publish. This is generally because I don’t actually finish anything I start! It is just the viKid way.
