Money and Time

This is the central equation now.Equilibrium = Enough time and enough money.(And enough risk on to make life exciting.)For being and time, try Heidegger.For being and money, we will take your thoughtful suggestions. Possibly The Philosophy of Money by Georg Simmel.

Someone proposed that we meet in the Economics Forum and I don't have a problem with that, but there is a substantial homework assignment.Being and Time - Heidegger

I've always suspected that explorations like Heidegger's are the literary analog to the Mandlebrot set:If one takes some simple atoms and recursively apply them to themselves (e.g., what is the meaning of meaning), then the result can seem extremely complex. Yet that complexity is induced by the recursion more so than being intrinsic to the system.

All a load of airy tosh, really. Much more practically, we can use the properties of Money and Time to "prove" that Girls are evil.First, we state that Girls require time and money:Girls = Time x MoneyAnds since we all know that "Time is Money"Time = MoneyTherefore:Women = Money x Money = (Money)^2And because "Money is the root of all evil":Money = Sqrt(Evil)ThereforeGirls = (Sqrt(Evil))^2And therefore we are forced to conclude thatGirls = Evil(Hmmm.. I wonder if I posted this shattering proof before on these pages?)

Your first statement is wrong:Girls require time and money:Girls = Time + Money (Hmmm.. I wonder if I shattered this shattering proof before?)
