That’s the same thing they do with Big Oil, eh? How’s that SUV feeling?

I believe Enron attempted to commoditize unused human production cycles a few years ago. In fact, it was their “next big thing” scheduled for full deployment in the fall of 2004.

The idea was this: they would create a market of unused prodction time, begin trading it on the open market, and then later, after the market was fully established, Enron traders would talk the people who were producing the production into “stopping producing so we can drive the price up.”

Once the price was driven up, they would sell it at huge profits.

Sadly, they were not able to fully realize this plan.

Any TIME spent thinking or being present is worthwhile in my book. Thanks for your acknowledgment of all things meaningful — speaking of meaningful, thanks for putting up that pic! That was a good day.

It was great to see you and Meghan. Have a good weekend.

Just had a terrible thought: What if I am all wrong and more time wasted = a more meaningful life?
