Let's break it down. We've got a POINT-BASED SYSTEM OF MATERIALIZED KARMA. I invented it. Call me Lucifer. Is there any way at all it isn't doomed to fail, and soon? Can you think of a mode of benevolent intention operating on a more superficial level? It is evil. QED
I don't represent YC in any fashion, so I am unsure if it's kosher to proffer up here; but, I think your mind is too strong for what sounds like a psychological pyramid scheme. It may have been established in virtue and quality, and successively then transformed into a system for transmitting social values (psychological pyramid schemes). So, strip those layers from it, and you're bound to see what it's really worth, and how it might benefit your daily life.
Mission Hills? That dude is rich! It's probably his only male heir, trying to re-invent my point-based system of materialized karma. Stay out of his way!
So what do you want from me? Affirmation of privilege? Compliance to some vague utopian model of 20th c. capitalism vis patriarchal tradition? I'm right here. It's unclear where you are. Clear that you aren't interested, except now to farther your own effusion of self esteem, and moreover then discount the life experienc of any other to disagree. I'm sure you can do lots of things very well, but for wit and force of action, you are overmatched right here, and on the ropes. I'm not your boy. I don't care who you are. I've taken harder hits than you could dream. So, what do you want from me?
Where is this textbook you speak of? I'd love to gloss the index. Are you talking to me, or some professor of yours? Sounds like he's open to a leveraged buyout. Think again, son.
Let me tell you, I am expert in deflecting routine semantic parsing. Me, I parse on the level of one's reflexive vowels. I hate to wear the mask of brinksmanship, but yes, you catch the drift. The problem I face, as stated, and more to the point, I use my best strength which goes unrecognized by most, which really gives me the advantage. Of course, I am an old man of 30. Yes, you get the point, that the ideation is true, rather than false. What else is there, dealing with ideas? What can you expect from an idea, but to be taken for a ride? I think it's the definition of interest. For privilege, look elsewhere.
To tell you the truth, had I been "talking straight" in the Cartesian manner you imply, I would have had to face much stronger opposition than these other besotted remarks. However, I hear your interest, and there is no question that I want to play ball. tefflox -at gmail.com
I understand that, given the content of my appeal, these jokes are to be expected. Tho I assure you I mean business. Most people I approach about this startup take me seriously, in fact, as they should. I've agonized over it most of last year, while propelling a poetry journal to significant regard. Thanks for reading. Hope we can talk.
