The Author

Dear relatively thoughtful reader,

Welcome to the library of Frugality Cottage. 

I hope you regard my notes here as a good use of your time.

On Monday 10 February 2020 at 3pm, I placed the first investment note on the virtual library shelf for your immediate attention.

The note was on the subject of investing time.

You may be wondering why I chose to initiate this serious of notes just as the COVID-19 pandemic was gaining strength.  The death toll from the SARS‑CoV‑2 virus, by 10 February 2020, had already surpassed the 2002-2004 SARS outbreak.

Since February 2020, many people have died from COVID-19 or with COVID-19 and without it, with or without associated complications.

Many more people have experienced, and continue to experience, debilitating, long-term health problems as a consequence of COVID-19 and other diseases, and from inadequate and inappropriate medical and/or political interventions.

I am very sensitive to suffering, whether in myself, other people, or other species.  Yet I always attempt to acquire as sufficiently accurate perspective.  For example, I am willing to acknowledge that the usual annual, global death toll from various forms of influenza has long been unacceptably high.

I always seek out data on issues from highly reputable sources. 

Over many years, I have studied the history of disease outbreaks and conflict outbreaks and their causes and long-term consequences and their possible connections.

Even so, I do not understand mathematics and sciences very well, though I certainly try my best to gain insights through statistical analysis. 

I always do my best to make accurate comparisons.

Yet learning new subjects, or complicated ones, quickly exhausts me.  I already have more than enough to do.

Perhaps you associate authorship mainly with writing.  It is, in my view, mainly associated with thinking.  It is a record of thoughts, at least until an editor transforms those thoughts for their own purposes.

I prefer to express myself online without the filter of editorial intentions, particularly commercial ones.

My preference is merely to write a few words for your imagination to experience in order to improve your leadership.

My well-informed kindness has long been philanthropically displayed towards you. 

Even so, I am only interested in investing in enlightened beings.

What, if anything, have you written about investing in enlightened philanthropy?

How do you usually prefer to examine records of various sorts?

My notes here are obviously records in themselves.  You may or may not regard them as records of a healthy imagination.

Most people do not understand the purpose of my work.

They do not even understand the work of the Spirit of Enlightenment.

They do not appreciate their virtual access to Frugality Cottage.

What, if anything, are you seeking to know about well-informed kindness and well-informed investing here in the library now, and possibly elsewhere in Frugality Cottage?  

Where do you usually attend important discussion about your leadership responsibilities?

I would certainly value your improved approach to investing in better communities.  

 

Perhaps you wish to help me with various public updating processes regarding educational matters and other investment practices.  You may possibly do so via twitter or another social media venue or even through the mass media, particularly as I no longer have a public mission and have delegate the ongoing responsibilities to you.

Perhaps you have been exploring the educational possibilities presented in the ethereal entrance of this virtual cottage, and elsewhere in the Adelaidezone Digital Arts Quarter.

You may wish to join me in the sitting room here quite soon.

I do not intend to be there at all unless you arrange to meet me in that very pleasant location for a mutually important purpose.

You may at least pass on a few suitable words to me via The Moderator, either there or here or elsewhere.

 

What is your acquaintance with moderation and editing and other important duties? 

How carefully do you conduct research, and for what purposes?

 

What is your usual approach to seeking advice, and how do you assess the qualities of advisors?

 

If you are seeking to know more about me, what is it you wish to know, and why?

 

Perhaps you would like to know more about my research.

 

Perhaps you would like to know more about my creativity.

 

Perhaps you would like to know more about my investments.

 

Perhaps you are seeking to access the data with which to compare my research, creativity and investments with your own. 

I have not written much about history.  I have merely sought to learn from history.

I have not written much about science.  I have merely sought to learn from science.

I have sought enlightenment through various sources in order to improve my problem-solving and decision-making abilities.

 

I have certainly sought to learn from Adelaide.

 

What are your usual interpretations of people, places and possibilities, and how have you attempted to assess and improve the accuracy of your knowledge? 

How have you attempted to improve the usefulness of your creativity, and from what reasons?

In my role as The Author, I have done my best to improve the accuracy of your knowledge and the usefulness of your creativity in terms of world peace, global prosperity and enlightened being.

Yet there are far too many people with opposing agendas to my own.  They substantially counteract my efforts on a daily basis, encourage your bad habits and reinforce your biases.

They may pose as tourists.  They may pose as journalists.  They may pose as politicians and/or celebrities.  They are often Little Eichmanns and therefore unwilling to acknowledge the harm they cause and encourage through immoral structures and systems.

Perhaps you want to enjoy storytime here now.

Kind regards,

The Author
