“Pity those who choose to sit on the sidelines” ~ Zena Ash Gevisser

There are those who are opinionated who run the risk of being wrong … and there are those who sit on the fence who fear being wrong. And then there are those who have no opinions who will never be wrong but lack the commitment to ever be right.

 

Now let me draw your attention to my highly secretive British-English mother Zena’s letter to me of 18 March 1987, 6 days before my 30th birthday:

Again, I will type it out:

Wivy

18th Mar, ‘87

Darling Gary,

 

How was your birthday? We hope you did something fantastic to mark the event.

 

I remember hating being 29, although it was my peak professionally, Penny Coelen won “Miss World” and family-wise, almost tragic, with Melvin making his “fall” (soft on to concrete) but, somehow 30 was lighthearted and I had a sense of maturity whilst still feeling youthful and full of vigor. Incidentally, you were 18 months old when Penny caused me to leave you for 9 weeks, but, for months afterwards when you just heard her name, you became very agitated. Later on when you were 5 and Dad went to America for a short while you cried, “Daddy, Daddy, Daddy” all night for many days.

 

You have always been family conscious, 

which was why we were amazed when you wanted to go to boarding school.

 

I can’t help thinking about the 6 weeks (early 1979) we spent in Skokie (Chicago),

at the time, I said it was a really happy period of getting to know you.

 

Your phone calls, even if I don’t always talk, because, one way or another I get upset, are most welcome.

 

Uncle Alan and I do miss being with you, but, all around, it is calmer for me in Wivy. There is no doubt that I am fitter when I’m not on a roller-coaster of excitement. You, on the other hand, must take advantage of all that is going on. Life is meant to be lived and you must pity those who choose to sit on the sidelines. The water

 may get cold,

but, what the hell, at least, you know how to swim!

 

I am making great use of my Alan Austin fur coat, 

and blouses on a daily basis and they are always admired.

Have you bought your business suit yet? Let’s have a photograph.

Once again Happy Happy returns.

All our love, always

Earlier I heard from not only a close relative, the granddaughter of my maternal grandmother’s brother, and she found me on Facebook, but Errol Musk wrote to me, 

 

I’m seldom at my desk. I don’t carry my phone around. I need both hands. Mostly busy preparing an aircraft that has not flown for 9 years, to get to an AMO. I have flown it now four times without a problem. But it’s on a farm surrounded by very high mountains. Risky business.

 

My response 18 minutes later, 6:53 AM did not include commending him on his sense of humour “I need both hands”.

 

You talk about your boys taking risks.

 

Let me think  I wonder where they get it 

 

This is not a time for you to depart the planet.

 

There is a little more work to do, but not much.

 

Can you tell me if there are restrictions on us visiting SA since we are not vaccinated?

 

Can you give me a time when we can speak?

 

Btw the last interview  – CLICK HERE – talking about Kimball was amazing!

 

I’m now just finishing off my morning exercises in my favorite spot.

Isn’t it amazing that a star 93 million miles away can be entirely blocked by a thin layer of cloud – a bunch of water?

 

Brad, it is of course not only Melvin and Ernest Rady who know that I’m writing a very important book which obsoletes the study of economics-finance, and the fallout of that is not inconsequential for people who just like to talk.

 

Yes, it is a very critical juncture for Elon Musk, no less so when the big publication group Wall Street Journal write a “hit piece” – CLICK HERE & CLICK HERE.

 

(It is time for everyone to “take stock”.)

 

And nor is it the first, plus Elon Musk provides a photo of him 

and the husband of the man Musk supposedly “banged” – you must have seen this lowlife writing on Twitter.

 

Of course, both Elon Musk and this Sergey Brin could have mended fences, deciding there was too much at stake to be mad at one another, but of course, it really doesn’t matter in the bigger scheme of things.

 

But what if there is absolutely not truth to Elon Musk sleeping with Brin’s separated wife? That would be wild.

 

What if it is true?

 

Does it take away from Elon Musk’s great accomplishments in exposing the rest of the automotive industry beholden to Big Oil? How else would we have known how lame are not only the auto and truck manufacturers but each and every Wall Street venture capital firm, all beholden to the mineral monopolists?

 

If you were Elon Musk would you automatically trust your food tester or person recommending either your masseuse or air stewardess; what about ground engineers for your private jet?

 

Remember, today’s human is not singularly focused on the job at hand even if it is signing a contract to purchase all of California’s real estate, and sell it off to Wall Street.

 

Do you think mankind has always mostly spoken crap? – CLICK HERE

 

Should I not hear from you, my follow up will include Ernest Rady in the cc section; and you will also recognize other names.

 

You may ask, “What do I care?” if say you were Joe Depp and the rest of the herd.

 

Good question, I agree.

 

 

Gary

 

PS – I will include you in my follow up to the 3 economists you see in the cc section who I wrote to you yesterday, titled, “How can you let this fly?”.
