Astonishing Real World Averaging Yields Archetypes

I've been saying this for 27 years. Given that I'm in my early thirties now, my earlier statements may not have been the most articulate. But I was still thinking it. As ever, mainstream science is only just starting to catch up.

You can glean a great deal of information about a person just from the layout of their face, the firmness of their handshake, their browsing history and a couple of bank statements. I always make use of these factors to size someone up before entering into any kind of a contract or discourse with them. My distant central-African relatives were a little harder to phrenotype in this manner since we could only communicate via email, but sometimes the benefits of handing over your bank details can far outweigh the disadvantages of skipping the initial face-to-face interaction. Besides, if you can't trust the Prince of Nigeria then who the hell can you trust these days?

P.S. Notice how the indie game developer just comes across as naturally superior? That's because he takes Vitamin D and doesn't mess around with Unity code, preferring to just get the job done with Clickteam's Fusion 2.5, which is the last word in rapid application development for small game developers.

P.P.S. Actually it's more cost effective to just outsource an entire project to Pakistan these days, which has the added bonus of actually seeing the project through to completion some time before the second coming of Christ.

P.P.P.S. As Michael Gerber points out, at some point you need to step away from being the Technician so that your hands are free to be the Entrepreneur. This can be especially hard to do when your business or project is a creative endeavour, and it's the reason why I usually reach the 90% completion mark before either embarking on the next project I've dreamt up, or getting mired in the endless spiral of perfectionism.

P.P.P.P.S. Apparently the postscript is the second most read piece of an article after the title, which means you've been doing some hefty work by now and your eyes need a rest. So here is a picture from canonclast.com of an 18 year old woman playing beach volleyball. If you feel any kind of a physiological response then you can give yourself a big red tick, because your iron levels are looking good and your endocrine system is showing normal activity. Come back for another checkup in a year's time.

P.P.P.P.P.S. This blog might even have another post on it, by then.
