I like the Flobots. That song Stand Up is a fine song. It's playing right now.
I am considering moving to Ireland when I finish my bachelor's degree. It is a city that is experiencing rapid growth in the international community, which would present a phenomenal opportunity for a young graduate. Well, I guess I'm not that young. But I look it, if I shave every day. I may study abroad there for my master's education if I can find such an opportunity. That would be a less risky way to get some roots there. I believe that depends on how well I can do on my GRE examination, though. I should be fine, I tend to do well at logical analyses. No laughing please, I was being serious ;P
Saint Louis just doesn't have enough going on for me. I know there is a Federal Reserve Bank here, and that is a significant thing for a freshly graduating economist. The thing with that is that the field of economics--in practical applications--is inherently flawed, limited. I recently have been reading about new and emerging reboots of the theory of economics. Much of it has to do with the inherent and well known flaws in status quo economic theory and practice. And they are significant flaws. There are several angles at addressing these issues.
You see, economics is at it's foundation based on physics and Newton's theory of equilibrium. All of the supporting ideas are based on very limited situations and a laundry list of assumptions. These almost never occur in a real, complex world. And the messed up thing is that everything we understand about economics is derived from these unrealistic situations. Without these constraints, we really don't know anything for certainty. That's why I'm so interested in the margin, the edge of the envelope of this science.
I've been a geek about physics forever. But far more so when it comes to the weird, cool, mysterious quantum physics. Theoretical physics. Cosmology. Things that are new and intriguing make me very passionate about knowledge.
I'd expound further... but it's hard for me to have complete thoughts in a one-way dialogue, sometimes. Maybe I'm spinning my wheels here... but I think I would best fit in at a think tank. That would be my ideal job situation I think. I can't change who I am, so I may as well utilize this troublesome curiousity. The curiousity that makes me stand in the shower thinking about something for 10 minutes before I remember I was taking a shower.
