]]> Comment on About Social Mode by BCM http://socialmode.com/about/#comment-2538 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 08:40:14 +0000 #comment-2538 Dear Russell,
I am an aspiring start-up tech entrepreneur with an idea for a mobile app that is based on your domain name (Social Mode). I am not sure if you would be interested in selling the domain name and if not, I am wondering if you can become my co-founder since you have background also in entrepreneurship and tech. I am currently looking for a developer to transform my idea into a working app. Let me know if you are interested and would like to possibly start working on it early next year.

Thank you for your time!
Ben

Is that a question that the author wants us to look at? In other words, do the characters have free will? Renee exercises her free will in a constrained way by enjoying intellectual pursuits but she has no one with whom to discuss them. Her poverty requires her to work as a concierge, or does it? Isn’t she exercising her will by staying in this job? Without an education with a degree, she is unable to break out of her lower class mold. Does she create her own isolation or is it determined because of her station in life? Will Paloma exert her free will to find happiness in something which she is passionate, or will she continue to stagnate in a life that reminds her of a goldfish in a fishbowl?

Perhaps it offers some insight and some answer to the phenomenon. Anything that contributes to this is worthwhile.

]]> Comment on Do Real Numbers Exist? by John Gabriel http://socialmode.com/2008/07/23/do-real-numbers-exist/#comment-2455 Sun, 07 Aug 2011 20:56:55 +0000 http://un1crom.wordpress.com/?p=235#comment-2455 There is no such thing as a real number. There is only an incommensurable magnitude which has come to be known as an irrational number. The rational numbers and incommensurable magnitudes (which can be approximated using rational numbers) have come to be known as real numbers. In truth, real numbers have never been well-defined because an irrational number has never been well-defined. Since the Ancient Greeks invented numbers, there has been zero progress in this regard.

Neither Cauchy sequences nor Dedekind cuts define a real number but these are still taught ubiquitously in universities worldwide.

But I believe the author dislikes the film.
Has anyone else read the book and seen the film and can comment?

]]> Comment on stunted conversation by Erlend Wilhelmsen http://socialmode.com/2010/05/24/stunted-conversation/#comment-2434 Wed, 22 Jun 2011 17:24:28 +0000 https://un1crom.wordpress.com/2010/05/24/stunted-conversation/#comment-2434 I just stopped what I was doing to read this and now I’m posting to Twitter.

In all seriousness, I’ve come to realize that I cannot have deep valuable conversations without turning off all the noise. I work in two hour chunks two times per day on a product or problem. I work with one of two people in a room here at work or somewhere quiet. It’s the only way.
