Shakespeare
Help prove the long-standing theory that an infinite number of monkeys with an infinite number of typewriters will eventually produce Shakespeare works!
This is much better than that SETI screensaver crap.
Go monkeys!
I had a great post in mind earlier today, but I got distracted by basketball and then I lost all motivation to write it. I guess it's somewhat depressing that I now lose motivation to write entries; it's almost as if I feel like I'm actually trying to write in this darn thing now.
Basically it was about how everything is turning into a commodity; your education, our skills, even us as workers in a corporate setting... we're all becoming a commodity that can easily be replaced with someone else.
The trick is to make the commodity seem like a scarce resource, much like De Beers does with diamonds.
But this goes against economics. Free-market economics, more than anything, essentially wants to break down all the discrepencies in pricing across the globe; it converts everything to a commodity. This is, of course, for the better good of the world. But we lose the 'richness' that is the result of sharp distinctions between us (the US) and Third World countries.
Ignore my stupid ramblings. I have two huge back-to-back exams and I'm just procrastinating. Back to work.
