Happiness Goal Fulfillment
Create a plan where you establish goals that will involve you creating something, go after them full force...having a goal and plan that is the key to happiness...having things to look back at on your life that you have accomplished this is important. Keep it varied. First goal right now is establish a good understanding of Nietzchean Agency such that you can say this is the type of agency you should have in the background when you are reading his work.

My Own Religion
I really want to develop my own religion full or daily rituals to remind me of great things I need to do. It would also be important for raising a kid if that ever happens. I would try to guide his youth education by the idea (turned into a pithy mantra) that the world is harsh and chaotic unless you get off to a fast start, learn all the classics that are debated, the way the world operates, and are in a position - as soon as possible, to make up your OWN mind about things (which is really, really hard to do in a satisfying way)...that is what makes modern life so hard....for the first time in human history a large majority of people are expected to make important decisions of meaning and value on their own. Also this is what freedom is.

what we have now...
people in their rooms, all by themselves, holding a camera in front of them and making a beautiful representation of themselves....
Self-knowledge Book idea
to learned, life-experiencing, psychoanalytic philosophers write biographies of themselves and one of the other person...then they each respond to the other person's characterization in both cases, and then they respond again...and again??
mostly something for personal gain, but maybe more??

"virtue of privacy"
Am I wrong, or did Stanford educated Tiger Woods misuse the word virtue in his thought-out tirelessly prepared apology....
"But for me, the virtue of privacy is one that must be protected in matters that are intimate and within one's own family."
Shouldn't "I value privacy" or "the value of privacy" or something.
If I'm right, it is the worst transgression I can see in this whole ordeal...

writen not done
it has always been characteristic of me to be able to much more easily write and tell people about the way I am the things i do (that are controversial on moral terms, or PC terms), than it is for me to actually commit the actions???
what could this mean...
