I cannot help but compare the north american work life paradigm to an intellectual kind of slavery. Considering that this economic region boasts the highest productivity in the globe, my 8-5 life style dictates where and how i execute my contribution to the value chain, it dictates the social estique I am required to exhibit in order to survive in my environment, it dictates how I choose to carry out any given task, and once the hours of work are behind me, the wealth that I accumulate is commanded by the plethora of material goods I am obligated to posess in order to gain meaning in my life. I am now quite convinced that economic domination comes at a very high communal cost. One of slavery to a culture of work, consumption and social conformity (a conformity coming from the limiting of my actions by providing me far too much choice, far too little space). I am sure that a life led in a spacial structure that remains chaotic (such as my life was in the east) has more to offer me in terms of my freedom (freedom as I define it, more on that later).

I have spent many years of my life studying economics, trying to learn the variables that determine the fate of other little variables that ulitmately decide what color christmas should be. But I now wish that they had begun by simplicity, by expanding on the relationship in economics that matters the most to my understanding of it: The markets.
I want them to start the subject by explaining to me that the world is a market, and that markets are where every thing is traded. And that in this market, essentially human beings are selling their labour to each other. Furthermore the quality of the labour is based on information-based value addition, and that knowledge will remain the constant in the value of this addition. People that provide the highest quality of labour, get more out of the market than others. And hence, freedom is gained on a matrix of value added non-human goods that one has the potential to earn by selling at the highest possible point of value-addition.

Also, I was proposed references to Coase et al, however, while I shall be delightfully digging into these, I am willing to begin from a point of no a priori information. I will begin with with my own pompous musings based on my own experiences, and attempt the 'Simping' of what are now convulated concepts. (convulated by contradictions, chemicals et al).

I shall not take into consideration transaction costs and other concepts of Labour trade at this point. I shall expand further by trying to understand the social construct (one of my own pompous creating) under which this labour trade takes place.

I have, after suffering the isolation of my own personal prison, decided to escape it by asking my masters to send me back home. There, I shall sing songs, write more carefully crafted prose, and be closer to similiar cockroaches to myself. I have reached this decision because I was raised in chaos, i have ventured into its frayed edges with the help of carefully chosen chemicals, and I have developed a taste for the distastefull.

Briefly, suffering from a persistent 'lightness of being', i wish to ask all and sundry how depression is defined. And I request that no dictionary quotes be given, but rather, i wish the reader to share their own experiences with depression. I myself have found it to be environment induced. Expanding on that a little, my environmental configuration shall define for me whether my existance has the kind of relationship with the expectations of my mind that allow my mind to remain in a stable state (as opposed to a sleepless, unstable one). Furthermore, i define depression as a manifest of dreams whereby one relives ones physical reality, mechanically recreating events, people, objects and mixing in of unfulfilled desires.

Please do share with me your thoughts.

I am also going to investigate whether the percentage of smokers that die from smoking matches the percentage of the faithfull that die from acts of worship (such as attendance at a mosque or throwing stones at a rock symbolizing the devil). It would determine if one is as harmfull for your health as the other.

Alcohol consumption is a way to test if you have an ulcer or not.
