Levy Rivers (Reputationist)

About me: I'm what my handle states - an Oldude. My Rant is about how reputation is a Political Conspiracy. The problem with this acknowledgment is that my thinking and ambitions requires load of in depth knowledge which puts a kink in the message of my "oldness". I've started an online Coaching practice and my rant is about how to improve long term happiness - For the World.

My thing, I believe I can change the world - isn't that a hoot. The way I intend to change the world is to foster a wider and deeper appreciation for "hipness": The daring, flair and grace of Jayz; the political savvy of Cornel West; the creativity of Mos Def with the business and cultural daring of Richard Simmons.

I've thought enough - being a philosopher of sorts - and trained hard with some of the sharpest minds ever on the planet - Cornel West and Michel Foucault to know the total absurdity of trying to change the world - but I do and I will.

There it is showing my age again.
