Meta Holiday Thoughts
“There is an old dictum that says you should never discuss religion or politics at a social gathering.”
While working in Silicon Valley, I went by a modified version of that dictum: Never discuss religion, politics or operating systems at a social gathering. Either way, the point is still relevant today.
Nowadays, we have Google, Wikipedia, and the Internets. But it seems that the more information we have readily available, the more uninformed and biased the public dialogue is.
Nonetheless, we should continue to tell our story. The expression of ideas and points of view is what keeps our metaphysical world evolving.
To help this along, I’d like post a weekly subject and get readers’ points of view. So, for this week, in honor of the first full moon on Christmas since 1977, here’s the subject for this week:

What does the moon mean to me?
At the end of high school, (not long after the last full moon on Christmas), my best girlfriend and her boyfriend were accepted at different colleges several states away from each other. They promised to get back together after college. In the meantime, they would look at the moon at the same time wherever they were, so it felt like they were together. I never forgot that story. They are still married today.
International banking in late 1980s Paris had it all: corruption, mystery and romance. Foliage: An International Banking Spy Thriller about an ingenious third-world entrepreneur is a precursor for the current Panama Papers scandal
