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

How to Win the Culture (but can’t use the real words – because meaning has changed)

1- Freedom – “Do you like to be told what to do?”

2- Private Property – Offer to redistribute their wealth to someone more needy.

3- Virtue – “Don’t be a jerk”

Battery 6x Larger Than Motherboard

Kindle Fire HD 7 Battery

Kindle Fire HD 7 Battery

I disassembled a broken tablet purchased on ebay.  The plan was to fix the screen, but just can’t get over the fact that the battery in this device is six times larger than the motherboard!  By the way, the motherboard has lots of stuff on it besides the CPU and memory:  sound, video, and USB is there too.

Guess I shouldn’t be surprised since phones have all this stuff on them too, but I’m still amazed.
