The Key to Understanding the World

Posted on September 11, 2013 by Brian Gallimore

“It’s very existence is too improbable for any one person to truly comprehend”

I, Pencil: The Movie

The world we live in: we should be dumbstruck by its intricacy and brilliance
Each part of the pencil is the result of the cooperation and collaboration of millions of people
no mastermind or central authority dictating how a pencil is made
all actions involved in process are voluntary
by working to create, labor and skill is traded for things each individual desires
free market: the spontaneous configuration of creative human energies
everyone benefits from voluntary, spontaneous, cooperation

Battery 6x Larger Than Motherboard

Posted on August 26, 2013 by Brian Gallimore

Kindle Fire HD 7 Battery
