@andrew_osborne – someone please tell Ross I didn’t say a Gandhian strategy is one of “provoking violence”!

@Della_09 – and there I was thinking maybe you just wanted to say “hi”. Are you on skype?

@kragen @jerrymichalski – barter occurs on the side sometimes in intercommunal trade but mainly it’s occasional between strangers

@analyticnomad – no that’s Spiegel and Grau, I expect they’ll be efficient and have it out by summer

@Della_09 – I’m on leave this year. I do miss my London friends a lot. But I’ll be back in Seltember. Yourself?

@analyticnomad – very good question! If Melville House is doing it, which I imagine they will, expect delays!

@JenAngel – yes Google HQ is the only place I’ve seen in the US with those Japanese toilets (w the control panels)

@kragen @jerrymichalski – all this is too complicated to explain in a twitter debate – see http://t.co/fcSzAwsR

@kragen @jerrymichalski – that is unless you define barter circularly as “any transfer or transaction that doesn’t involve money”

Tue 31 Jan 2012 17:01

@kragen @jerrymichalski – you are making a circular argument that any society w/out money _must_ operate thru barter but in fact its not so

@kragen @jerrymichalski – I didn’t say we haven’t found a society w/out money. I said we haven’t found a society based on barter.

@kragen @jerrymichalski – anthropologists have looked for 150 years for an economy based on barter and never found a single one

@rootwinterguard – nah my shirt is fine. I doubt the publishers would go for Creative Commons tho. That ones not my call

@theflipsideofit – if “govt interference” caused all bad stuff, how do they know it didn’t cause any of the good stuff. Total a priori faith

Mon 30 Jan 2012 16:40

@theflipsideofit – simple, if they give “capitalism” credit for all good things that happen under it, they have to give it blame for all bad

@Khakjaan – perfect example of why there’s no point in arguing. You have no idea what ad homonem means. I can’t teach u elementary logic

Sun 29 Jan 2012 23:18

@Khakjaan – if that’s what you like to think enjoy the strange bubble in which you live. It has no relevance to anything interesting. Bye!

Sun 29 Jan 2012 22:51

@Khakjaan the terms you used were so crude in so many ways explaining why would have taken fifty tweets. Why bother?

Sun 29 Jan 2012 22:45

@Khakjaan – don’t understand rhetoric either do you? I dismissed your argument not your character
