Not much to say... in the house of my friend and mentor for the last, what, 3 days now? Trading $1000/day worth of computer restoration expertise with what's close to 10 times that value in learning about thought processes and cognitive networks.
The latest insight: people choose paths in life, or they choose not to make a choice, in effect planting themselves and settling down when faced with a fork in the road. Humanity can be viewed as a tree, with the trunk made up of those who made the least such choices; those who decided early on to play it safe and settle down with their existing ideas, concepts, and prejudices, and those who always moved on to something new, whether right or wrong, way out on the smallest twigs and leaves. Those latter individuals are those who are most alone, but also those with the clearest view to the rest of the tree and to that magnificent universe beyond it.
