For someone like you that “brags” about being “scholarly” and an “independent thinker”, you sure spend a lot of time on blogs writing a lot about just how “independent thinking” you are, and you sure spend a lot of time trying to convince others exactly how “independent thinking” you are.
Now why is that? I mean, if you truly were independent, why would you be posting all this random TMI on a financial/real estate blog, when you have a dozen or so other blogs (including your own, if you have one) you could be posting this at, like philosophy, end of the world, etc.
Why do you find it so necessary to find people who will validate your independent thoughts? If you were really independent “thinking”, you would be comfortable with your thoughts and wouldn’t need to be fishing this blog and a bunch of other blogs for complements or self-validation for your viewpoints.
And what’s wrong with talking about money? This is a real estate blog. The purpose of this blog is (or was) to talk about real estate and investing and money. Concepts that these days have eluded many of you nutjobs that apparently can’t find a better blog to post this philosophical rant masqueraded as a dig into public pensions, fiscal crisis that somehow is related to real estate prices in San Diego.
I mean, most off-topic posts are amusing. But, you’re trying so hard to seek validation of your philosophical opinions, I just don’t get. Same post, over and over again.
And don’t give me your elitist “philosophy” about how money isn’t important. If you really felt that way, you wouldn’t be here and/or you didn’t have to work hard for yours because you inherited something from your parents, which allows you to take everything they worked hard for granted. Afterall, apparently their hard work allowed you to waste so much of your time now. None of your posts, your rants, your screaming of the sky is falling is really going to move the needle about whatever your issue with public pension, Calpers,etc. Your posts aren’t making anyone “more aware” of a problem, or going to get anyone to change anything. People think there is a problem, already think there is a problem. People who don’t know and don’t care, still will don’t know and don’t care. Whatever “fix” will happen will be determined by the courts, which you have little or no control over when and how that will happen. Welcome to the wonderful world of mental masturbation that gets you nowhere.
