SueBee's Brief Intro


SueBee

Recommended Posts

Hi FDR folks,

 

Just a bit of random info...

 

Theories of philosophy and economics are new for me, so I am learning a lot here. I really enjoy having conversations about the interface of ideas and ideals, and what is practical and realistic. I hadn't used a chat room since the earlier days of IRC in the late '90s... soooo, at one point I had to ask the room what "afk" meant! :P

 

I've been inspired and motivated to get more involved and get to know the people in the community. I am glad to be a part of it, and would like to contribute more when I can.

 

TTY soon!

Hiya SueBee!

 

I've seen you around the chat. How'd you come across the show? You said that you aren't as familiar with philosophy and economics – does that mean that you are somewhat familiar with the relationship, psychology and gender topics?

Hey SueBee! I am a newbie to the FDR forum myself, hope to see you around!

Hey Kevin, I noticed the ''anti-fragile system'' @ your name. Did you ever read the book by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Antifragile?

For instance, there are site out there that randomly try to take themselves down through DDOS attacks or through shutting down certain servers or something. They intentionally set this up themselves. This means that they build a system around the assumption that these attacks will happen and each time the attack happens, they system improves its response to the attack and becomes a better "built" system.

 

Thus, anti-fragility is something that gets stronger when attacked which is opposed to most things that when they are attacked they will get weaker or break.

 

Also, brief moment of reminiscence, I think I was there in chat when you learned what afk meant. :)

To answer your query from earlier, Kevin Beal, I was listening to some other podcasts and alt-media shows on the web where Stefan was guest-hosting. I started downloading some podcasts to listen to on my mobile phone while taking the bus. Now I enjoy being part of the dialogue here, as opposed to "just" a listener. [in the near future, I am hoping to be able to 'donate' some time towards FDR Research topics...] :thumbsup:
