I have read her book, never really looked at her blog and my question is should we splash our sex life all over the web?
I haven't been an angel but most of us haven't, however, why do people feel the need to tell the world about it, whatever happened to discretion, to having a little bit of embarrassment about our weaknesses and sins.?
In the end I felt sad for her, she was having all this sex yet she was alone, and she has taken the final step which is to cross the I don't care threshold, many of us do things yet we still don't want the whole world to know, ok so she is anonymous but she has put so many details up, made herself such a celebrity that anyone that spends any time with her will know the truth.... she will always be that person... she can never run from it, hide from it, move on...... so good luck to her....but I feel sad for her....
Most importantly is there a difference between living a life like that and being embarrassed by it and wanting to hide the details and the opposite which is being brash and openly telling the whole world. Is it honesty or is it merely degrading to her and the rest of us?
Which is the best path?
I know the one i think is better.

The Short Term Long Term
It is a famous quote from John Maynard Keynes that in the long run we are all dead...... the skill in investing, politics, is being able to separate the long run from the short run.
Detecting the long run tendencies is easier than predicting when they will have an impact. You could argue the revival of Asia began at the start of the 2oth century, when Japan beat the Russians in a small war, yet the West is still dominant in so many areas.. when will the East really gain dominance?
The American trade deficit has been at high levels for many years yet, the world just carries on, and it doesn't seem to matter, when will it matter? When will Americans finally begin paying back their IOU to the world, and will I be alive so will it matter me?
Our lives are so short yet trends, the currents of the world are much deeper and take far longer to work themselves out...
Will the environment effect my life significantly or will it be my children/childrens...
It is just 400 generations since people were drawing on cave walls.... trying to communicate with us....... and 400 generations later we aren't sure what they were trying to tell us.
