A random link farm

Seven thoughts and a link for each.

1. Want a peak into the lifestyles of the young, unemployed, and entitled in NYC?

2. Scott Adams, the genius behind Dilbert, discusses some of the concepts with one metaphorical foot in the grave.

3. A classic prose poem on the life of Napoleon Bonaparte, here because its my blog and I want to put it here.

4. An old ad (not TOO old) from a bank in Iceland that felt rather good about itself, until the house of cards collapsed Kaupthinking. Try to avoid it.

5. The Onion covers that ominous music everywhere. The FEMA bit is funniest, IMHO.

6. A bibliography on anarcho-capitalism, because I know you've been begging for it.

7. If you're old enough to remember the heyday of Space Invaders, play at your desk.

Knowledge is warranted belief -- it is the body of belief that we build up because, while living in this world, we've developed good reasons for believing it. What we know, then, is what works -- and it is, necessarily, what has worked for us, each of us individually, as a first approximation.
