I really despise working with people who behave like this. The main problem is this turns the disucssion into written and asychronous. On a phone call there is so much more nuance, so many more questions that can be asked and so much more information for both parties.
When it's just async written messages, I'm constantly only able to say 1/10th of what's on my mind only for it to be misunderstood by the other person hours later. Sure you can blame it on me for being poor at written communication but I'd argue the other person is always just as bad too. They just think it's the other person and not them.
There's an intro bit you have on color and how it behaves in additive vs subtractive mediums. To this day, I feel like it was one of the most concise and well explained overviews I've ever read.
I still plan on working through your book "eventually", but I just wanted to thank you for that first bit.
That my whole point though. 10M isn't worth putting your name in "just in case"? That's why it's funny to me. It's like saying I wouldn't cross the street to pick up $10M but I would for $1B.
I used to think the same thing but I've come full circle to believe that any behavior humans take place in, regardless of the consequences, should be legal and regulated opposed to banned/illegal. Money just ends up flowing to cartels and much more unsavory/unethical organizations.
Drugs, prostitution and even gambling fall into this category. It's certainly the lesser of two evils and not perfect. As others have pointed out I'd much rather live in a world that treats prostitution like Amsterdam or drugs like Portugal than the current war on drugs, police militarization, security theater surveillance state we are in right now.
