Good on you, I lived in the Netherlands for 6 months but didn't have the insight yet to engage in such activities.

I'd love to know what drugs you tried, and your fav Kanye songs. I like his old stuff more, even the early mixtape stuff before college dropout, when he was a bit raw and battling his ego openly.

Hey mbrock,

Thanks for your great reply. I think I might read about Van Gogh and try to understand him now. I saw some of his paintings at the MET, my girlfriend was blown away but I was pretty meh at the time. Perhaps I can understand more from his words

I'm not sure if it's my 'interest' but the art that seems to interest me most is that with some kind of stated science/anatomy/geometry/clean lined architecture

It may surprise you to know countries outside the us have stable corporate laws. I'd hasten to add there's nothing stable about the us right now and I'd be reluctant to incorporate or HQ there

Do you still require foreign start ups to incorporate in Delaware? Doesn't that undercut boosting the local economy argument

I think you don't understand my comment. I am saying that the people doing what you describe have similarities with Trump.

That's arguable. Do you mean the right to free speech as found in the US Constitution doesn't extend to the corporate sector? That's true, SCOTUS agrees thus far.

Does some right to free speech not sourced in law, but perhaps morality or elsewhere, or even rooted in democracy, extend anywhere? I think that's well arguable.

I've noticed some people on Twitter, including Susan Fowler and Kara Swisher, saying free speech is only a protection against government intrusion and doesn't apply in the corporate sector. That seems to be mirrored in this article.

The only thing I'd say is that those people should think carefully. Denouncing and shrinking rights such as free speech and normalising their role as negative rights when it is convenient to do so will work against their agenda, and is in common with how people like Trump view other rights

If I was you, I wouldn't want to help the drug companies without getting paid. But I would be interested to see how what you've written could benefit not for profit researchers?

I don't know much about the field, but if I was you I'd probably email Professor Eric Grimson at MIT and see if he has any suggestions how your library could be beneficially shared. He seems pretty nice and into this kind of stuff.
