Janor’s List of The Very Cool – February 2007:
A Very Cool place temple…Temple at Kula – It’s really only a temple in that it mimics Greek architecture. It’s still a pretty cool build, though.Pictures of the Temple at Kula

Apparently Janor likes the temple that I built…

there was a spontaneous art event in kula last night

it happened entirely accidentally, in part due to the metaverse meetup people i’ve met

one of them introduced me to this artist sandhya2 patel who wanted to show us her art, but did not have enough prims to show it all at once, so i invited her to kula 2, one of Joi Ito’s islands

Then i invited a few people to see it,… and then more showed up, and people were still showing up later.

I Wish:
Update: In light of the first comment, I’d better explain: this is the result I got when I ran discourse.net through dnscoop.com. For some reason it thinks that discourse.net is actually the apparently valuable (why?) seorefugee.com

discourse.net was worth 6100+, the site says mine is worth a bit more… fictions upon fictions.

Russ Nelson:
There’s no point to objecting to advocacy for free markets by
pointing out there is no pure free market, free of any coercive
influence. We can compare more-free markets to less free markets, and
decide which ones we like. If we like more-free markets, then we
advocate for free markets, all the while realizing that the people who
like less free markets will prevent us from having a completely free
market.

Russ points toward an old post of mine about the claim of free markets. My point is that… we are dealing with fictions and fantasies when we talk about ‘free markets’ and ‘free-er markets’. Most things people(and note, i was not not addressing the specific definitions of economists, which may be more or less problematic depending on whether you think their formal models and definitions approximate anything beyond themselves) call markets are not markets, but regulated exchanges, regulated by too many factors to even approximate an ideal market, or even an ideal transaction situation. I think it would behove most people to go back and actually read Adam Smith’s thoughts on markets and specifically on the theory of moral sentiments in relation to markets, as I think that his work is closest to my position.

Metaverse Meetup:
So I decided to go to the Metaverse Meetup Friday night, because Eric Rice was in town and it would have been nice to meet up with Jeremy Hunsinger as well. Unfortunately, at the restaurant my introversion kicked into high gear, and after some standing around with a beer hoping someone would spontaneously decide to talk to me I made my way to a seat against the wall.

Yep, I was there. It was a good time. I met many very interesting people and there are many possibilities for collaboration and development. I didn’t actually meet Steven, but I met Eric, Jerry, many of the sheeps, Rafi, Melody, and many many others. I didn’t do the video, figuring, I already have plenty of media exposure, but….
