Ha, I saw that paper at Bogleheads and downloaded it. I take a crack at a new portion every evening.

I actually wrote a masters thesis on this stuff several years ago, very interesting. I'd say indirectly it lead me to PP and it's no predictions philosophy.

Dualstow,

Have you printed it out to read in your easy chair?

(Just hope to heck that you and a few others have listened to the harry Browne podcasts!)

hahaha! Currently without a printer. I gave the poor thing to the junkman in preparation for our move. It's amazing how many months have gone by and I haven't had to print anything. And, the easy chair just went downstairs because it was killing my back. Not meant to be paired with a table or desk.

But, I have listened to the archives many times. I know which callers are good and which ones to skip over (like Alaska guy). And I know that print/easy chair ad well.  :)

I bet Harry could've given a great show on chaos and complexity.
