• 06:07, 6 September 2024 Roshan talk contribs created page The Emperor's Tailor (Created page with "The Emperor's Tailor is a story about how ideas can escape from the context in which they are expressed, leading to adverse consequences. Sometimes, when the smart play at being stupid, the foolish listen and think that what they're doing is wise. <blockquote> Once upon a time, in a far off kingdom, there was an Emperor. This Emperor loved clothes, and would frequently have his tailors design new and extravagant designs for him to walk around the city in. One day,...")

Going practically anywhere is an exercise in paperwork. Some places are easy, like Hong Kong (which just needs an instant online application), some places are easy if you've got a US visa (like most of South America), and some places are hard (like the Schengen zone). For much of my life I've had a Schengen visa since either my parents applied for me to visit as a child...")

Ghosts and stuff like that. And to some extent I believed in their existence. There was no evidence of their existence, of course, which made them all the more alluring. If I could prove that they existed, I would have won a big battle for us all. A key discovery would have been made. So, even though I was scared running into a room as a 11-year-old I would have the "there's a ghost here" li...")

The truth is that you can capture 90% of the essence of something rather quickly. One way to flip the Bozo bit on someone is to see if they use tribal affiliation phrases.
