"So I have decided to continue without perfection, but perhaps a closer approximation to it, without grinding to a halt." the perfect is the optimization of that which is possible...unless you live in a supernatural world... interesting that folks use words to explain that identity is impossible...when in order for their statement to have any meaning, it has to have identity... rp

Just yesterday after another minor blunder I decided I should slow down and make every action a perfect action. But when organizing a mental process to create that perfect identity for each outcome, I rapidly ran into an insurmountable problem. I would have to move infinitely slowly to cover all possibilities, which means that before my decision making was complete about my next minuscule move, the Cosmos would have rendered me irrelevant and recycled into nano particles. I just, like totally and fer shure, hate it when that happens. -g- In the same way, your 'trader' identity is probably so approximate that your imperfect trader identity might overlap with my oil = gold theory, which itself is not a totally perfect correlation, as laboriously explained some time ago, but near enough for government work and hauling rocks across Outback Oz. Close enough for horseshoes, there's probably a small overlap... but I'd much rather be having a mint julep in the summertime while lounging on the porch, with lovelies attending to any other needs... The way I calculated my gold price predictions was by buying petrol for my car, [among other things], on the basis that petrol = oil = gold. I have two gloats available for issuance, depending on who is closer.
