Could you be emotionally detached at work and not know it? Sure, if you’re detached. There’s a party in your head and you’re not invited. slapCompany

Robert takes ages to get to the point. I saw one of his lecture videos in Yale, it was a 1 hour video with about 20 minutes of actual information. He just likes to digress. At times I don't know what he is talking about and if he is actually answering the question asked. Having said that, I did manage to juice out some great information out of his blabber. Need to be very focused to listen to him.

HILARIOUS. I just had an epiphany, and that was: "The economy is driven by men and women (due to jealousy) trying to impress women".

My theory is that the hotter the women, the better the economy does.

Free boob jobs could really stimulate the economy, amongst other things.
