You are a fascinating person, Jeffrey. But, you know that...
Thank you for taking the time today. I am reasonably certain I would be additive to your various
conversations in the Gulf, bringing a distinctly different yet complementary perspective. It would be fun and
effective.
Several of your comments made me think of a long ago friend, the writer David Foster Wallace. David used to
talk about the "truth" the way you talk about having fun. He had an exceptional mind—seven plus standard
deviations away from the mean that you seem to enjoy. I leave you below with one of David's better known
quotes to juxtapose with our earlier discussions.
I wish you the best and, again, thank you,
Jide
"The really important kind of freedom involves attention, and awareness, and discipline, and effort, and being
able truly to care about other people and to sacrifice for them, over and over, in myriad petty little unsexy
ways, every day. . . . The only thing that's capital-T True is that you get to decide how you're going to try to see
it. You get to consciously decide what has meaning and what doesn't. . . . The trick is keeping the truth up-front
in daily consciousness."
