The Anti-Manichaeist

My brother in Christ, Rick Bennett posts a wonderful list of things that he believes here.

I believe I like to procrastinate on busy-work stuff, like preparing for traveling to Sweden and Ukraine.

I’m trying to watch Fargo, but it’s hard for me because I am still hyper-sensitive to the realistic portrayal of violence. I can thank my near-death experience from when I was hit by a car as a seven year old for that. But it was also that experience that led for me to develop a very early interest in politics, history and the social sciences that led me to pursue a PhD in Economics as a means to compromise between my interests in the social sciences and my ability at mathematics.

I believe I also identify too much with the main character in Fargo whose plan is going very much awry. Hopefully, I’ll make it through the movie…
