Re:

fun - thanks for taking the time, - I d appreciate it if you both would take a moment and list what you thought I should pay attention to. people etc. mathematicians . institute models. cures? I think the well intentioned effort to point out that the medical system is broken or that academic institutions sometimes hinder creativity, is not time best spent. Groundbreaking ideas. (ketamine aside). seems to cause you both to light up as opposed to the I can't believe gambling is going on here reaction to the concerns of the c plusses.

Thanks, Jeff - You asked for 'fun' projects. I think we're mostly starving for great conspiracies today; 10-12 person coordinated secrets. What about a New Rosicrucianism of sorts? A Jejune Institute-style blurred reality/fiction negging of your enemies would be pretty damn fun. What are your thoughts on funding and constructing your own Intelligence Agency?

I'd also like to do an exclusive science salon sort of thing at a place like Esalen; or maybe on little St. James (experimentation with philosophers/scientists examining physiological stuff; while considering artificial intelligence epistemology)?

Outside of this I tend to think of my mate preferences as evidence of gentlemen to pay attention to. Caveat emptor. Like any decent trader you should estimate various lags/regime changes to seek relevant trends. High profile island orgies also independently come to mind; but I have a strong suspicion that you may already have that covered.

Fraternal regards from one Coney Island baby to another!
