Risk Aptitude

To analyze personal risks often assumes that the primary imperative, against which that risk is assessed, is survival. However, I prefer to view the imperative as not wishing to merely be alive, but to feel alive. I guess this lends itself to less risk aversion on average. Throw it in the model.

Nostalgia

How I see it..

Nostalgia: Inherited trait prevalent in humans. An evolved trait which serves to motivate curious humans who stray away from their colony to one day come back with insight, methods, and goods. A societal enhancement trait,  an advantage to survival of that colony, and consequently the nostalgic member.

Around the Oil Field

Post Tesla Era

I've decided to pay my respects to the great inventor Nikola Tesla by including his name in my blog title. While I enjoy reading about Tesla, his life, and his accomplishments, I am most fascinated by how discriminate history is, as evidenced by his lack of a name today. It seems that if one wants to leave a legacy, they ought to legislate for it, or, at the least, put their name on everything they can.
