Money

YoInformation is what you make of it - Doonesbury took a shot at blogging yesterday and missed the point completely - if people blogging were interested in putting their time into 'constructive productive use' (whatever that means), then we would be focused on building businesses and value for accumulating net worth. But in a society where effort and reward have been delinked - where the accrual on the value of a home is greater in a month than the salary for working 40-hour weeks - where the Peter Principle creates fifedoms of moral incomprehension - where the benefit of one's work is not returned, but distributed - don't you think we would be doing it.
YoThe old world used to have barriers to publishing, and all knowledge went through 'the filters'. So much so, that now I am questioning the knowledge base - and trying to find the points where we deviated from productivity in the chase for money. 1913 stands as the key date in physical science - when tesla, einstein and heisenberg peaked prior to the machinations for wwi. If you know your field and can evaluate the when - i'd like to know for a bit of research into science myth (history).
YoTo this end - it takes money to live. Dr. Lenny will publish a series of pamphlets that apply science to any topic. If you join ONRRI for $100 per year and mention the 'name the topic special' - i will write a pamphlet with you as a co-author in your topic of interest. The hope is to establish the Dr. Lenny brand name as a marketing tool for ONRRI science. (Authorship of pamplets pays residuals based on direct sales and is subject to contract.)
