For the Future

What do you want?

Quite a difficult question to ask. By economics assumptions there is no end to that question and we would simply want more and more given more resources.

Perhaps doing what I like to do for the rest of my life seems desirable enough.

As much as the blank slate argument of people being nurtured to what they are and not born into their capabilities and character seems rational, in the short run, people are just like that. Simply speaking, it is an extension of the argument that people are actually "born" into their personality and capabilities now. The person that you see is a product of years of nurture and development and so this state of the person will stay as it is at least in the short run. By short run that would be around six months.

It is thus impossible to change a person, or expect a person to change withing such a short period of time of anywhere under a year. That is if the person is to change in the first place. Something I notice over the years I guess.
