    May not be super intuitive, but getting rid of them is intellectually lazy. If you know an hour is 60 minutes, it makes enough sense.

    If an hour is 60 minutes, 60/12 is 5 minutes per number on the clock. Long hand is minutes because there are more minutes in a day than hours. Or at least that’s how I can rationalize it.

    If you can explain an analog clock that quickly, it’s just lazy for them to not learn it. It also has cross application to make people more comfortable with mental math and multiples commonly seen in trigonometry.




  • I feel like I didn’t hear what YOU actually want. Does the idea sound enticing or does it fill you with dread?

    And I definitely agree with others that you need to be 100% open and honest with your love about how you’ve felt about your friend in the past, because that can definitely be important to her. Basically, if you are thinking of excuses to rationalize not telling your partner something, there’s a good chance it’s the wrong thing to do.



  • Yeah, I will. It still needs more preliminary work though. All I have is a rough outline that’s sufficient for me to verbally walk someone through it in 2.5 hours. Nowhere near ready for people to be able to read it and know what I’m talking about. If anything it looks like gibberish right now, or it looks like I’m a crackpot. But so far I’m comforted by the fact that everyone I’ve explained it to thinks I’m on to something. I’m happy with the progress rate though, I’m only 2 months in, and juggling a lot in life right now.


  • What’s a deck? Does that mean a presentation? I’m not really interested in selling the idea, I think it’s too important to risk just becoming another money hoarding trick for some soulless corporation to just keep for their own ends.

    If anything it’s going to get published open source. It doesn’t belong to me, it belongs to everyone.

    Everyone. I’m writing a book to explain but I’ve come up with a problem solving framework that can solve any clearly defined problem using a combination of strategies and theories from a wide variety of different subject areas. But I’m still in the process of articulating it. Original idea is only 2 months old at this point, so I still need more time to tinker and experiment with it.

    The reason 10 million would be helpful is that it would simply enable me to quit my job and focus entirely on my long term plan.




  • Personally, I pay off before next billing cycle. However, I have been fortunate with my finances. I know friends of mine who carry credit card debt, and they have successfully managed to balance transfer from one card to another using periodic balance transfer deals that let you transfer all your debt from one credit card to another with a 0% interest rate for 12 months or so. They have managed to do this for years.

    So there are definitely a variety of options!
