“Be who you are and say what you feel,
\nBecause those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind.”<\/em>
\n– Theodore Seuss Geisel (Dr. Seuss<\/a>), American author and illustrator (1904 – 1991)<\/p>\n

From financial<\/a> crisis<\/a> and political economy<\/a> to cosmology<\/a> and fractal art<\/a>, the science of everyday life has always fascinated me. Since 2005 these topics and more have found a place within the pages of this site. You’ll find anything that seems to bring structure<\/a> to all the chaos<\/a>, or presents ideas<\/a> in ways that we wouldn’t normally expect<\/a>. As\u00c2\u00a0I try to figure it out subject<\/a>-by-subject<\/a>, experience<\/a>-by-experience<\/a>, I promise to share any insights<\/a> right here on the rational post<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

If you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it, this should be fun.
