andrew is a socialist

the other night i was obsessing about how we can be sure that we exist right before bed. this sometimes happens to me late at night when i'm lying in the dark. i wonder if i really exist, and it's very scary. andrew thinks it is evidence that I am a bit off. i’ve never claimed to be completely rational (it’s hard for an economist andrew to process that).

so i said to andrew: maybe that is why i am so bi-polar with my emotions, because that is a way to know you exist.

and andrew said to me: well, i think it can be bad to be so bi-polar.

then andrew thought for awhile, and he said: i think that men are emotional socialists.

me: what?! you are so crazy, i can’t believe you just called yourself a socialist!

andrew: yeah, well, men have dampened emotions with little growth and women have cyclical emotions that rise and fall, with booms and busts. i’d much rather be an emotional socialist than an emotional capitalist.

are you an emotional socialist or capitalist?
