I endeavour to use my time and energy increasingly 'efficiently' as I learn to prioritise more in accord with my values. This a bio-feedback loop and I support and encourage that which works and ignore that which fails.

Likewise in dealing with roulette forums I give massive priority to BetSelection.cc because it is the rolls-royce of content and participants managed by a top professional team. Rarely but occasionally I look at Roulette30 or Roulette Forum. These two latter are blighted by poor moderation and an executive decision to permit trolls and divisive content. Nevertheless I would always want to give credit where it is due and I have frequently congratulated Steve on his table roulette game at rouletteplayers.org where three of my players bach, oasis and kubrick are on the leaderboard. It provided a useful training ground but now because I am a full time professional roulette player I have no further time or need for that device. It had its uses.

I came across a post on that forum written by 'The General' who is of course Caleb, Xander, Real, and a host of other facades. This troll was noting the 'demise' of roulette 30. Of course once again he got it wrong and Steve had stepped in to remind Kav while he was away for a few days that his forum had gone off line. Perhaps it illustrates the fine margin line such entities operate upon - there cannot be much income there, and it is' a nest of vipers' while managed by weak moderation. I wrote a rare piece there to sum my views of Caleb and his actions. Although apparently, I am advised by a colleague he is a specialist in mathematics, his manner and actions are disgusting ( such as his personal attacks on the late Dr Martin Blakey)  and to me represents a sink-hole in internet ethics and communication values. Best to steer well clear.

Control, discipline and order, ie restriction is a fundamental requirement of true freedom and this is a fundamental Life Principle. The nihilists have no idea of these universal principles as they do not recognize  such. Some mathematicians seem to adopt stone wall fixed attitudes which are so restrictive that fresh ways of looking at a problem are denied. Such is the case regarding Cluster Analysis in roulette where individual spin outcomes, although independent, are also inter-connected. Both - this seems hard for some to grasp, yet such is a characteristic of Quantum Mechanics in our real world.

Thus anarchists, nihilists and individuals with no worthwhile tested value systems are as children, as yet ignorant of more adult life.
And yes I am trying to become more adult in my life as I have an increasing framework and matrix order upon which I build. I encourage all my students to do such, and all my friends, and those with whom I have regular contact have their own, all unique and at differing stages of development. But this is actually what Life is all about - growth and development. It is an exciting and passionate life, and what I really love, it has no limits.

By contrast, from time to time in your travels, and in your reading, you will encounter 'entities' that are negative, cynical, and impossible to deal with. The smartest way is to detour and ignore them. Occasionally they interact and it is always really unsatisfactory. They are so unpleasant to deal with. One such is the recent interaction with Jake on this forum - who just does not get it, and with whom, and with a few like him, are real time wasters in that you can put in a vast amount of time and information and it will be like throwing knowledge down a well - pointless. My comment is the attitude that is wrong - not a personal attack on Jake. Curiosity, and openness to new ideas and potential growth is what is required, from me and those with whom I communicate.  Whether university students, friends, colleagues, correspondents, readers - I seek out the inter-action and exchange where we are all respected and can progress and move forward. That is what I try to encourage through this medium and again I give massive thanks to the Moderators and Vic at BetSelection.cc.
