New Year with the Oracle ... Since 2000, I have known the Oracle. "Congrats, Oh Mighty Oracle, for your MBA-ness!" For more than a decade, the Oracle has provided intellectual banter, often about business development, yet regularly relating to professional and personal development. Past mouth-spew-wisdom has been featured in a previous post over here.
Oracle Favorites
A few of my fave wisdom words include -- right is always right; not simply when it's obvious or convenient.
- no one wins a race to the moral bottom.
- you are the sole architect of your fortune ... and misfortune.
- creativity is intrinsically hard to manage, but there is an essential paradox whereby enough process must be introduced so that creativity is balanced by a certain level of accountability.
Economics and On-Line Dating
Earlier this week, we caught up on what's what, including chats about holiday activities, family, work, etc. Virtual "high five" for the Oracle's MBA (and more free time)!Because I turned 50 this past year, I mentioned that I have agreed to try an on-line dating site - ourtime.com - that markets to those 50 years and older. (OH! THE REALITY OF LIFE!) I have yet to post a profile.
Immediately, the Oracle mentioned a Bloomberg Surveillance clip came to mind - a clip of a Stanford professor interviewed on Bloomberg TV over here on How Economics Can Help Find Love Online. Paul Oyer wrote a book - Everything I Ever Needed to Know About Economics I Learned from Online Dating - with an overview over here and a companion video (below).
enjoy this clip from Stanford Business (over here)
y'know ... i'm just thinking
it's about fish in a barrel -
being a truthful fish in a barrel
being a truthful fish in a barrel
(is that an economics thing?)
