I work in consulting and design. When I'm not busy figuring out what "strategy" means, my mind turns to more far flung connections, such as the parallel between getting into a nightclub today and buying goods in Communist China in the 80s. In both cases, people have to pay exorbitant sums for scarce goods AND suck up to the respective powertripping egos of bouncers and shop assistants. I'm a closet academic, a romantic...and pragmatist. I love wushu, fantasy, sci-fi, dance and physics theories (but not the actual calculations).
