I feel like a slime mold sometimes.
Fumbling around in the dark, trying to find out where I may be of help.
If I slime you, sorry, it is out of love, I promise.

Read (and followed) your twitter, you seem like my kind of guy.

I honestly haven't read much Mises, as I have been pre-occupied with other stuff, but yes, that is what I am hinting at.
As for my thoughts, I've been working on getting them in order, so I might parley them coherently.

Looking forward to hearing them. As you say, aiming for perfection (the stars, the Answers to the big questions) is the way. Reaching the Answers is not the goal, aiming for them is.
The Buddha reached the Answer, they say. Did he keep reaching after that?
Lao Zi was wiser. The Tao, he said, is the Way. Walk it.
But thinking that you know what the Tao is, that means you are furthest away from it.

They did it with sugary droplets on a micro map where people live around Tokyo.
It was really successful at planning I think!
