My thoughts on the random way the world works. Talking mostly about culture, technology, the future and economics, I try to present views that differ from the mainstream while being thought provoking and entertaining. The blog also includes some of my original poetry and complaints about human nature. I am now living in my fifth country and generally have a unusual view of the world compared with those that have grown up surrounded by a single culture. Notes on a Dysfunctional Society is something I began writing in 1997, an now represents a way for me to develop my thoughts on complex ideas that require more structure than simple musing can provide.
