G. Graduate work.

Economics. In particular I was interested in the work of the Austrian

economists.

IV.Life Experience.

A. What made you choose your present occupation?

I never had any other desire.

type?

Graduate school. Post-graduate work. Associate Professorship. Full

Professorship. 

D. Who/what are your role models now and in childhood?

In childhood, my brother. Now.... none.

E. How do your relatives and friends view your present occupation?

I don't know? I have no close friends. It must be my fault somehow, but I don't know what to say..

F. Who/what had the most personal direct influence on your life?

(person or experience)

I came back from the war a different person. I... lost something there.

A certain confidence or ability to handle 

conflict. I have become... timid?... in some way... I'm not sure I can

explain it.

V. Skills.

A. What, in your opinion, do you do the best?

Think.

B. How do you relax?

Thinking.

C. What do you do that you would like to improve on?

I would like to be a great and renowned economist.

A. Best friend.

None. I seem to push people away... or they feel some aversion to me...

B. Worst enemy.

Myself?

C. Current girl/boy friend.

None.

I. What is your code of honor?

I like the term "negative utilitarianism." One should avoid causing harm to others. At the same time, I think people ought to be more polite and considerate of others than

they are... however, I don't think anyone has

a moral duty to positively assist another... more that one should take

precautions not to harm someone even in a small

manner. It is better to forgo a large boon to one person to avoid a

small harm to another. 

J. Is there anything you absolutely will not do?

I'd like to think so, but I believe one can't know unless put to the

test.

K. Do you have any fears or phobias?

I possess a certain frailty or timidity... I'm not sure if it is

cowardice.

L. What are your weaknesses?

There are too many to delineate. I hate contradictions, yet I am

simultaneously self-aggrandizing and self-deprecating.

I admire strength of character, but fear that I do not possess it. I

possess many...gifts... but I have accomplished 

nothing. I seem unable to form a connection with others.

N. At present, what is the most important thing to you?

To make something of my self... anything?

O. To what lengths would you go to achieve a goal?

Probably not far enough.

P. List bad habits.

I prefer the path of least resistance. This causes me to be lazy and to

possess poor follow-through. I am too sedentary

for my own good. Truly, any bad habit that derives from laziness...

Q. List personal quirks.

Hmmm. I haven't noticed any, but perhaps an outside observer would be

able to take note of the things that I feel

are quite natural.

R. List vices.

I possess none of what are considered "vices."

S. List good qualities.

I am intelligent. I am earnest. I believe ideas are important. I am

polite. I am amiable (but not caring). I don't ask much of others.

T. List favorite: color, food, clothing, weapons, drink, books,

music, etc.

Color-- Grey Food-- Salmon Clothing-- Suit Weapons-- None Drink-- Coca-Cola Books-- The Theory of Money and Credit Music-- The Moldau Philosopher-- Jeremy Bentham Economist-- Ludwig von Mises Sport-- Tennis

U. What morals do you have?

I would never intentionally harm another sentient being.

V. Describe your general personality.

Amiable. Outspoken, yet quick to retreat. Witty, but not naturally

funny. Often emotionless, but unexpectedly passionate at times.

A. What was your greatest failure?

I have never accomplished anything of note.

B. What was your greatest triumph?

None.

C. What have you done that was considered "outstanding" in your chosen

occupation by others in the same field?

Nothing.

D. How do you get along with others in the same occupation?

They are fools who have abdicated their responsibility as economists.

E. How important is success in your occupation?

Of the utmost importance.

G. What are you willing to do to obtain these goals?

Study reasonably hard.

VIII. Travel.

A. Do you get: seasick, airsick, motionsick - auto or animal back?

Seasick. Airsick. Have not ridden any animal before.

B. Do you like riding animals - horses, camels, etc.?

They are dirty and smelly.

C. Any fears about traveling?

Fear of getting lost. I have no sense of direction. In a city it is not

a problem. In the wilderness, I have no 

relevant survival skills.

D. What steps would you take to travel overseas?

Oh, probably get a passport, I suppose.

E. What sort of general equipment would you take, excluding personal

items such as clothing?

Probably some books and some writing instruments. A reasonable sum of

cash would probably be prudent.

None.

None...that I am aware of.
