  • His big advice for would be writers is have a spouse who works. He essentially became a writer by making a deal with his wife to let him write full time for one year. He got enough published that they kept the expiriment going and eventually she did not have to work. I actually put the incarnations as his best series up till geoodessey but I have not read much of his since the one about god. I get not liking bearing an hourglass. I liked it but he was really trying a difficult thing with the way he set up rules around the incarnation of time. fate is an interesting one do to the way that incarnation works. I can be more specific but it would be a bit of a spoiler.




  • I would argue even the person born rich enough that none of it matters personally to them still are better off because they simply cannot micromanage all the little benefits a well run society gives. They will still be rich and have more money than they can personally spend but everything around them will be improved. their whole enviroment even if its beyond their domocile. its like why do rich folks love to hang around europe and if they do hang around the us oftentimes its in major cities. if being rich and alone was ideal they would all have michael jackson ranch situations.







  • No at first he flies under the radar but his drugs end up being more effective than the market ones which causes doctors to start using them in clincs. first for family and friends but eventually more generally. The fbi, cia, nsa, dea, fda, wwf, and such get involved and he is caught and brought up on terrorism changes since he is to popular with the citizenry to face legitimate charges.


  • Enshitification is real. Cobra could take a payment in seconds but turning on the insurance took weeks. This is during a so called grace period that is a word I don’t think it means what they think it means. Oh but they will only take the payment in seconds if you give them everything to grab it from you but if you send it to them then weeks of processing. Oh also its a fee unless you authorize them to do it continously. Everything is setup to suck money from you but everything that is from them to you takes a lot of time and hopefully you forget because they are not really going to do it unles you show you can spend an inordinate amount of time hounding them.
