96 - investing in appropriate deadlines

You may have noticed that I am very keen on the concept of appropriateness.

When people are unable to maintain appropriately high standards themselves, they require assistance.  

I have long been seeking your assistance.  

I have also spent a considerable amount of time and effort seeking to assist you.  It has apparently been a poor investment on my part and a misdirection of my philanthropic resources.

You are apparently not yet appropriately registered as an official recipient of my philanthropy.

You will probably be already aware, by now, that I do not tolerate inappropriate attention or inadequate attentiveness. 

I have invested in health as appropriately as possible. 

I have even invested time in investigating ways to improve health systems.

I have invested in education.

I have also invested time in investigating ways to improve education systems.

You may consider me odd, given the fact that I consider social research to be fun.

I am interested in the exceptionally good rather than the merely unusual.

Yet I do not equate exceptional goodness with scarcity or luxury or expense.  I equate it with appropriate care.

How do you know you are appropriately caring?

I hope you will comment appropriately on this note, and the earlier ones.  There is very little time left for you to be able to do so.

I am mainly interested in invest time in and with people who attentively read my words and appropriately answer my questions.  Such people are likely to be investing in the continuity of goodness, reasonableness and honesty in the world.

I am only interested in assisting enlightened world leaders.

If you regard yourself as being such a leader, please begin to act appropriately.

If you are not yet appropriately registered as a patron here, please be aware that only patrons currently have access to the documented discussion archive in the sitting room of Frugality Cottage. 

I have always tried to do my best to respond to you appropriately, at least if your own notes have provided me with sufficient pleasure.

They have not, so far.

Indeed, your responses have mostly been imperceptible and therefore impertinent.

As I have no faith in the claimed trustworthiness of anyone until I know for certain that a particular person is appropriately good and appropriately knowledgeable, I hope you will be willing to co-operate appropriately during the patronage assessment process, especially if you wish to acquire a good here reputation quite soon. 

Without appropriate patrons and other supporters, very little good can be achieved in the world, even by the best of people.

As a social researcher, I have many expenses to meet, and many deadlines to meet.

Perhaps you are seeking to help me meet those expenses and deadlines, whether or not we ever meet in person.

I prefer not to meet any people at all for unnecessary social purposes, especially as I always have very important political priorities to pursue.  

How do you usually assess limits? 

Having grown up in rural and provincial areas, I know how difficult it can be, in those areas, to buy necessary things locally, like well-fitting shoes and fresh fruit, when local shops have very limited stock.

Appropriately registered patrons in Frugality Cottage have managed to convince me that they are consistently reasonable persons, suitably well-informed and kind, with a sufficiently enlightened sense of priorities.

You may learn more about being or becoming suitably useful as a well-informed, intelligent, kind and enlightened leader if you make your way up into the attic of this virtual cottage, at least if you are appropriately registered as a patron and thereby have access to the attic.  

The possibilities for patrons here are mostly related to security and certainty, though life would be exceedingly dull without appropriate expressions of fun.

I am only willing to offer my philanthropic assistance to appropriately registered patrons.

Are you such a person now?

The deadline to become one will soon be here. Do you have the appropriate character and characteristics for the work ahead?

What do you already know about my contributions to enlightened philanthropy

What would you like me to know about your own?

I am devoted to investing in evidence to ensure my practices are always appropriate. 

Are you aware of how difficult the task of investing in you has been for me?

Only appropriate patrons are real leaders. Such persons spend much of their time investing in trustworthy collaborations.

Where is the evidence that you are doing likewise?

You will probably be aware that I have long been investing in the quality analysis of events.  Apparently, you have not.

I hope you are investing in importantly useful information as appropriately as possible.  

How do you usually respond to time limits, and why?

I have long been investing in appropriately good patronage, but have you?

You have provided me with no proof.

Perhaps you will catch up with the readings here before the deadline, if you have not already done so.

 

Perhaps you are wondering when the deadline will be.

I am not paid in money.  I am only ever paid in kindness.

Yet that kindness has been far too limited.

The unkindness I have experienced has been considerable.

My investment strategy has always been associated with the preservation and consolidation of my limited freedom.

I do not wish to have my life intruded upon by exasperating ignorance, foolishness and presumptuousness.

What are you able to offer me?

What are you able to offer humanity? 

How urgently are you investing in appropriately good patronage?

How appropriately are you investing in you?

How appropriately are you investing in civility?

How urgently are you investing in appropriate priorities?

How effectively are you investing in appropriately high standards?

My investment notes, and the associated educational notes, are mainly suitable for appropriately registered patrons.  Such patrons are usually well-informed investors and well-informed philanthropists.

You may have noticed that I have the ability to provide each person with notes exclusively for their personal benefit as a real world leader.  You are unable to read the notes I have written to other persons, unless they happen to show them to you in person.

Perhaps you are hoping to be able to acquire future news about this library and the services available from here.

Personalised news media editing, and personalised social media editing, of appropriate elegance and relevance will tend to be time-consuming practices, particularly whilst simultaneously attempting to prevent intrusive data mining and other forms of undermining.

Perhaps you will not have access to Frugality Cottage at all next year, especially if you are regarded by the volunteers here as a somewhat intrusive and/or disruptive individual.


 

 
Through my creative writings, I write snippets of fiction into otherwise factual accounts of my thoughts and observations.  I do so to distance my private experiences from my published work.   

 


What do you consider the obstacles to be in relation to achieving my goals, and how did you acquire that information?

What do you believe you already know about my goals?

Please review the following notes carefully now:

 


While projects always involve deadlines, so do ongoing activities, particularly existential ones.

How do you review projects and deadlines and your ongoing activities and the inevitable limits of your existence?

How, for example, are you investing in purposeful reviews, and how do you know you fit such practices into your schedules appropriately?

If you had appropriately registered as a patron here, over the past year or so, you would have been a participant in at least one of the series of workshops about the cottage and industries:

 

All versions of the workshops had to be cancelled as no-one sought to participate in them, even though each session had been meticulously planned to take place entirely online.  

Only appropriately registered patrons were eligible to take part.  

The same, necessary restriction applies to all the workshops here, including the upcoming ones.

As far as I know, you are not yet one of the patrons of the work conducted from this virtual cottage.  That indicates you have inappropriate goals and a poor approach to planning.

I hope you will kindly catch up with all the notes you have not yet read here, including those on the noticeboard at the cottage entrance. 

What have you already discovered about investing in amazingly successful planning

I have been particularly keen to assist with the improvement of your productivity at the most appropriate moments.

Perhaps you feel most productive in the early morning.  Perhaps that is why you do not pay adequate attention to my Monday afternoon investment notes.
 
Perhaps you feel most productive late at night.  Perhaps you are dangerously dozy during daylight hours.
 
Perhaps you feel most productive in the middle of the day but then prefer to rest in the afternoons.

Perhaps you are too afraid to be assessed by the Hubrisometer, with or without being required to pay money for the privilege.

Perhaps you do not usually associate assessments of yourself with privileges.

Perhaps you are feeling unwell, which may account for your sluggishness.

The effort I have made here, to encourage you to invest appropriately, hence productively, in the delights of adequately ethical compatibility, is nothing compared with the effort I invest in my more creative writings.

Indeed, writing these investment notes has been relatively effortless in comparison, though still very hard work.

I prefer to remain anonymous, aloof and appropriately productive, hence my desire to ensure my privacy remains intact.

How carefully have you been investing in enlightened productivity recently, and how do you know?

Such productivity obviously assists in the meeting of deadlines and the management of necessary meetings.

How do you tell whether a meeting in necessary or not?

How do you tell whether a deadline is necessary or not?

Although I am certainly disappointed in you, I never have time to dwell on the matter.  There are never enough hours in the day, or night, in which to follow my intellectual curiosity around the Internet and my own private library, and around this digital cottage and digital arts quarter, and around my rather limited physical environment, and around my own mind.

You may have been expecting me to entertain you or educate you through this note rather than merely inform you about your own limited knowledge and considerable ignorance of good investments. 

You may appreciate your limited access to the Social Media Quadrangle sufficiently well by now to wish to maintain that access without hindrance.

I consider most political information to be inappropriately presented. That is why I have developed new styles of political presentation, in both fact and fiction.

But who deserves access to my political presentations, and why?

I continue to have many questions for you, as you may have noticed.

Unless you invest appropriately in me, I cannot invest appropriately in you.

How appropriately are you investing in better governments, and how do you know?

I do not believe it is possible to be a professional politician in a democracy, or in any other political system.

Politics is an avocation, not a vocation.

I have never worked for, or invested in corrupt companies.
 
I have never worked for, or donated towards, corrupt charities.
 
I have never worked for, or voted for, corrupt governments.

I am a scientist and priestess by vocation though I now practice both vocations in an unpaid way.

Political philanthropy is my avocation. 

My scientific research has mainly revealed a pandemic of political apathy.

Yet I enjoy ascertaining facts. I have no interest whatsoever in silly speculations and tedious opinions and superficial entertainments and insensitive attempts to gain attention.

I especially enjoy investing in quaternary possibilities.  Unfortunately, very few ordinary mortals enjoy doing likewise.

That is why Controversy Corner has been closed to the general public for most of the past two years, as has the associated archive near to it.

The Old Adelaidezone Gateway has also been closed to the public for a considerable time now, as have several other cultural institutions near here.

The attic of Frugality Cottage is also off limits to the ordinary public, as is the cellar, and even the kitchens.  

The Council of Enlightenment regards your inappropriate priorities as highly concerning. 

What sort of news are you currently seeking here in Frugality Cottage, and why? 

What sort of news and other knowledge have you already acquired here? 

Whenever money is involved in an experience, including a research experience, much wastefulness and self-deception is likely to arise unless appropriate, prior training in intelligent frugality has been completed beforehand.

Intelligent frugality is the basis of enlightened freedom and well-informed kindness.

What have you been learning in and about the Hall of Appropriate Patronage over the past few years?

You may already know that your future access to the hall is likely to be impossible, unless you are appropriately registered as a patron here in Frugality Cottage. 

You access to many other cultural institutions in this digital vicinity is unlikely unless you are also registered appropriately as a patron in the Hall of Appropriate Patronage.

I can only allow you into my community activities if your moral values, aesthetic values and epistemological values are appropriately in keeping with the harmonious interplay of beauty, understanding and magnificence.

Most mentoring, according to my own research, is not of a particularly high quality at all.  It is merely a form of indoctrination.  It encourages inappropriate conformity and standardisation.  It is an expression of excessive influence.  Its purpose is to advance and entrench a particular culture.  It improves nothing except the possibility of maintaining a career within that culture. 

And I consider most journalism to be inappropriately presented.  That is why I have developed new styles of news presentation, in both fact and fiction.

How can you prove you are appropriately investing in quality journalism?

My role, as usual, is to ensure appropriately good patronage is expanded in the world as quickly, effectively and pleasantly as possible.

I do not have an agent of any sort.  I have never been employed as an agent or otherwise worked as one.  I am a servant of enlightenment.  

I am certainly not an agent of government intelligence, in any way whatsoever. 

I deeply value the truth, courtesy and innocently playful forms of fun of the non-intrusive variety.

Many locations in and near the Social Media Quadrangle of the Adelaidezone Digital Arts Quarter are currently open to appropriately registered patrons only, in much the same way as the attic and sitting room here in Frugality Cottage. 
 
What have you been learning about the cottage and controversy over the past few months, and how?

The Adelaide Adagia News Ensemble is currently composed entirely of real world leaders.  The ensemble has recently been conducting most of its investigations from the Adelaidezone Digital Political Diamond, and from a cloud above it, as you may be aware.  

What do you believe you know about Adelaide as a place and as a person?  

Do you think I am likely to like you as you currently behave or will you require substantial improvements, from my point of view, before you attain adequate expressions of affection from me?

Perhaps Queen Adelaide will help you answer that question.

Perhaps your most urgent goal is to become a more pleasant person.

Perhaps you usually think in terms of goals rather than processes.

Yet goals are the end result of time-limited, linear processes. 

The world has already run out of time in relation to saving life on Earth from the catastrophe of a greenhouse atmosphere.  That is a scientific fact, and a political one. 

Indeed, that is why I have been encouraging you to reassess all your investments very carefully indeed over the past ninety-six weeks.

I hope you now understand my motives for writing these words.  I am not seeking pity or admiration. I am seeking your awareness of the limits to good relationships and quality of life.

Maintaining at least a little control over my thinking process, and my home environment, is all I am able to achieve at present.

With such a low quality of life in many ways, writing in a way of my own choosing has long been my main reason for getting out of bed each morning.  
  

My writing in and about the Adelaidezone has been mainly for my own amusement, as a way to cope with experiences of aggression.  

The writing process has also deepened my understanding of problems.  It has even encouraged me to document my continual learning process, and share information about it.

How other people respond to my writing, and its presentation, is highly relevant to the continuing development and maintenance of these ethereal locations. 
 
Whether any particular person is eligible to gain access to any part of the virtual Adelaidezone, at any particular moment, is entirely a matter for my own discretion, subject to the advice I receive from the Council of Enlightenment and the Spirit of Enlightenment.

How appropriately are you currently investing in the Adelaidezone, and how do you intend doing so in the future?

The ensemble always aims to encourage the improvement of ideas, values and manners through elegant reportage on societal realities.
