Test your premises, climb a tree.

Carefully. Have someone with a big bag of cushions ready below.

Three trailers and a baby giant are in tow.

Check if it’s true and even if it is, you can do better, improve upon it.

Nothing is set, forced to be, improve the stakes and raise the odds – that’s my plea.

We live in lands where money grows on trees.

It might as well. It is printed to hand cash to those who are deemed to need it. They do need it. But it doesn’t exist. It is fraudulent funny-money, not real and likely to start losing value one day.

The ogres in the central bank have created a world where money has been cheap to borrow, companies in poor shape can borrow to make payroll, pay rent and line their pockets. They keep borrowing to pay last year’s payments with next year’s – non-existent – profits.

It is not sound.

The result over years may be sad, sadly.

All Ponzi schemes eventually fail.

Beware, take action, do not rely on the nation’s money managers.

Striding along the main street in purple clothing, they knew I could command a galaxy.

Eating raw chocolate with baked carrot sealed the deal.

Who could argue with a single word I said?

One person did and they now work as a chairman of a large bank.

Yes, they got sucked in to being the awful purveyor of cheating and lack of service.

But they own an orange yacht bigger than I could have imagined and they’re accustomed to things as they are.

Meanwhile we are laughing, and thankfully, not all the way to the bank!

Being in two minds always felt uncomfortable, like one of those awful narrow bicycle seats.

Yet, being able to thing of the positive and negative, the right and left, the opaque and transparent – shall we go on – can be powerful, often useful.

When the answer is somewhere in the hazy distance you need the ability to hold two opposite ideas at the same time.

Once you get used to it, you can show others how.

Careful, they may call you the teacher.

Such suspense.

Take two and call me in the morning – but why would I call you, we have hardly met!

There is an audacity to well rounded words uttered in contemptuous humor and generous energized apathy.

Nobody got confused, but we are trying.

The new exercise, good for all muscle groups, is to dance around being as confusing as possible while sounding certain.

Fitness fulfilled.
