Here are some ways, as I see it, to do right: Seek out good people. They will treat you well and you will respond. It will not hurt to tolerate others. Keep an open mind. Understand where you are among others, in the midst of nature, in the universe.

Market Info
I heard a radio report, as I recollect its gist, of a study which found that customers prefer NOT to be asked, “can I help you?” in a marketplace. That squares with my feelings as well. I prefer to see everything that is available, at my own pace, and then make my own reasoned choice.
The Two-Party System Will Not Die
Like everything statist, neither the democratic party nor the republican party will die. Each will just limp along as bureaucratic place holders for the selection of the worst candidates possible. Each will be loudspeaker trucks for the worst backers with the most money.
Continuity
I have encountered two very interesting concepts recently. They are both implied by this observation from Henri-Louis Bergson: “The present contains nothing more than the past, and what is found in the effect was already in the cause.” So there is, according to Bergson, a continuity in the connectivity among past, present, and future.
Encourage Ideas
First of all, encourage yourself to have ideas. If you have 1 idea a day, at the end of a year you will have had 365 ideas. What are the probabilities that none of those ideas are worthwhile? What are the probabilities that self-ordering will not restrict those bad ideas from happening.
Endings, Not in Sight
Time flies when you’re having fun, but some things seem never to change. Wars lead to wars. Government leads to more government. Taxes lead to greater taxes. Modes of taxation lead to more and novel modes of taxation. Organized crime leads to organization, crime, and more organized crime.
Endings
All things must come to an end, but it seems the frequency has been on an uptick this past week. Members of POTUS’s cabinet have seen the end of their service (Tillerson), or at least the beginning of the end (McMaster, DeVos).
Space Farce
The pugnacious thug, aged 4 in boy years, that is currently posing as POTUS, has come up with another idea — weaponize space and make its purveyors a branch of the Military Industrial Complex.
Implosion
Yesterday, I was an eyewitness, along with tens of thousands others, to the controlled implosion of the 48 year old Capital Plaza Tower, in Frankfort KY, a 24-story state office building, the former home of many government agencies, including the Department of Education.
Riddle
How are a military parade and a factory school alike? They both require the concentration of valuable assets in a relatively small space — as in a shooting gallery.
