I picture the vast realm of the sciences as an immense landscape scattered with patches of dark and light. the goal towards which we must work is either to extend the boundaries of the patches of light, or to increase their number. one of these tasks falls to the creative genius; the other requires a sort of sagacity combined with perfectionism.

Genius is its own reward; for the best that one is, one must necessarily be for oneself. . . . further, genius consists in the working of the free intellect., and as a consequence the productions of genius serve no useful purpose. the work of genius may be music, philosophy, painting, or poetry; it is nothing for use or profit. to be useless and unprofitable is one of the characteristics of genius; it is their patent of nobility.

There are two synergistic approaches for increasing productivity that are inversions of each other: 1. limit tasks to the important to shorten work time (80/20). 2. shorten work time to limit tasks to the important (parkinson's law). the best solution is to use both together: identify the few critical tasks that contribute most to income and schedule them with very short and clear deadlines.

Assuming that a tax increase is necessary, it is clearly preferable to impose the additional cost on land by increasing the land tax, rather than to increase the wage tax - the two alternatives open to the city (of pittsburgh). it is the use and occupancy of property that creates the need for the municipal services that appear as the largest item in the budget - fire and police protection, waste removal, and public works. the average increase in tax bills of city residents will be about twice as great with wage tax increase than with a land tax increase.

I think my itunes is a kind of strange and embarrassing mix of show tunes and artists that i have no perception of whether or not they're huge or not, you know? i'm the kind of person who doesn't realize that the arcade fire is a big deal, but then i expect everybody to know cocoon, and people tend to not know cocoon.
