I did an SI search for "insouciant". siliconinvestor.com It was popular in July for some reason. And is having a run now, in Foreign Affairs. I thought it wouldn't appear anywhere.

<does this mean you are going to stop with the "insouciant" posts and now start posting facts? How will we be able to tell? Can we assume the short ones are facts and the really long ones are "insouciant"? >

Good questions. I don't know. Perhaps you could think for yourself and just take my rantings as "thought starters" to be rejected, or accepted, ignored, or laughed at, according to your own ideas and facts, with cross-checking if questionable.

While I often offer a double your money back guarantee on what I write, that's not always the case. But it is the case with Adam's birthday - 34,159 years ago. That was NOT an insouciant post.

PS: I just did a search for a lot of other words and it's surprising how many are used! Even quite big, arcane, words are used frequently. Aha, here's one, "resile". It's a word I have only heard used by David Lange [ex and now deceased prime minister of NZ] and maybe a couple of his fellow travellers. Nobody in SI has used it [in the last year anyway].
