Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009Value is Contextual – Opportunity Cost
Wednesday, June 17th, 2009I may sound like I’m flogging a dead horse. I have blogged about value being contextual before, and I’m going to do it again. The reason is simple – every so often when we’re working on Pressyo (yes, we’re consistently updating it behind the scenes), we keep dreaming up things that we can possibly use or do.
They’re mostly fun stuff to do – mostly armchair economics and armchair computer science. But the thing about brainstorming things to do and actual implementation is that sometimes implementations can go spurious. We’d expect something to work one way and then it doesn’t.
So, yes, we have to constantly remind ourselves that value is contextual. And because I’m such a bore, I shall bore you, my readers as well. (more…)
Good = Content x Audience
Thursday, June 4th, 2009You’re only as good as how much you’re disseminated.
Imagine, for a moment, that you are Grisha Perelman. You’ve discovered a valid proof for the Poincare Conjecture. Upon discovering the proof, you go back to sleep in your mother’s house, and proceed to play Tetris till you die.
Question: Would anyone know you’re good?
Answer: No. Why? Because you’re only as good as how much you’re disseminated. (more…)
Good Quote
Monday, June 1st, 2009From Rabee Tourky,
The way I see it, we’re born into markets, and throughout life, we accumulate resources. Some of us are born with higher initial endowment of resources – richer parents, big inheritence; but most of us… most of us just have human capital on our end. We only have labor, and time as our inital endowment of resources, and to me, that is enough.
Maybe all that argument about how to distribute initial endowment of resources is moot afterall?
Welcome back to the revitalized Outside the Box blog. There has been plenty of changes to Pressyo, and more to come in the coming week. As you can tell, we’ve been busy, with both our personal lives, and with Pressyo, but exciting times are coming to Pressyo.
