Idea Province

I have more ideas than I'll ever use: ideas for movies, inventions, utopias, T-shirts, businesses, and more. I could hoard them, but what would be the point? If you have ideas that you're squandering, send them to me - Rhys Southan - at mrsouth (-at-) gmail (-dot-) com. I'll post them for the world to take... if the world has any use for them.

World Edge

I always think of life as a Blackjack game where the world has a 1 percent advantage over you. The world, then, has a 51 percent chance of winning any particular game and you have a 49 percent chance of winning. It’s not a crushing advantage, but over time, you can’t help but lose.

You can learn to “count cards” (perfect valuable skills and become wealthy beyond belief), but eventually the world will catch you beating it and will kick you out of the casino. (you’ll die)
