I&#8217;m about 50 years old, have an engineering degree, law degree and masters in economics, but I never really got out of school.  I buy tons of books and read &#8217;em, and think about &#8217;em, and keep on learning things.  I know that I went to some graduation ceremonies, but no one ever told me to stop doing what you do in college and grad school. I.e., learn.  So, I&#8217;m stuck in the learning mode.  It&#8217;s just what I do.  Not much else going on in my life, nothing much to brag about. Never had a marriage or relationship that lasted, never brought up kids, never been in the headlines, never got rich, never been to China or most anywhere other than New Jersey.  But at least I&#8217;ve still got my mind and my curiousity.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been reading up on cosmology and quantum theory lately, but I&#8217;ve also been getting back up to speed on Robert Pirsig (you remember, Zen and Motorcycle Maintenance), and have something on Jimmy Carter to digest, and ancient Greek Civilization too.  And I&#8217;ll be reading and thinking more about race relations here in the US and urban poverty and spirituality and Myers Briggs (I&#8217;m a cross between INFJ and INTJ) and the historical Jesus of Nazareth.  And I&#8217;ll be sharing it here, in case anyone is interested.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi, welcome to the ramblings of an eternal student.
