    I have come to bear a rather exceptional resemblance to Albert Einstein. In the beginning, 10 years ago, when it first became remarkable, it didn't matter to me. It was a casual conversation piece at best, a way for me to entertain, and to be entertained. Otherwise, I could not see a point to it. Gradually, as the resemblance evolved toward identity, I began to search for a reason. I became convinced that it was not just a genealogical accident. But what was the point? In the end, it found me - covid-19. And now, I have a cause, I have a passion...You can touch the link to visit our Shopify site, open to the world, that will offer my way of empowering those who follow truth, logic and science, who believe in mask-wearing, physical distancing and vaccination, to empower them, by their clothing, to show where they stand and who's standing with them. albertwithus-ca.myshopify.com Harvard Business School Doctorate (DBA) 1973Political Economy University of Toronto BA magna cum laude 1961Accounting, Audit and Control1966 - top 20, final examinations,Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants

    If you are a musculoskeletal practitioner, your patients are misguided and confused by unsubstantiated claims about mattresses and pillows - in advertisements, that saturate cable tv and the social media. Worse, these claims are repeated in mattress showrooms. Consumers depend on your profession for actionable advice concerning these claims. Are you providing it? If not, you are ministering to their waking hour needs, but not their sleep. Work with me to provide logically designed, functional, and durable products at a fair price. In their clinics, the practitioners we align with are equipped to diagnose the sleep surface issues. They recommend a solution, and entrust us with the responsibility to deliver, and support, our innovative and therapeutic Logipedic sleep surface products.Visit https://logipedic.wordpress.com/Harvard Business School Doctorate (DBA) 1973Political Economy University of Toronto BA magna cum laude 1961Accounting, Audit and Control1966 - top 20, final examinations,Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants

    I discovered, through my own experience, the entrepreneurial dysfunction syndrome - EDS. It is the paralysis of one's entrepreneurial function, a mood positioned in a no man's land between severe and clinical depression. The onset is when the entrepreneur's chronic background depression intersects with a thunderclap, a negative career breaking point. It's January 5th, 2020. EDS has just happened to Donald Trump.

  • Simon, paeleoanthrapologist, applying paeleoanthropology to improve sleep surfaces

    • Feb 2019 - Present
    • LinkedIn, in 96 countries

    I'm hosting a colloquium for paeleoanthropologists and musculoskeletal practioners to help me understand how the spine and nervous system of the early hominid has evolved relative to the sleep needs of homo sapiens, and to use that understanding to critique and improve modern sleep surfaces. And, once understood, critiqued, and improved, to build sleep surfaces in such a way that their end of life no longer contributes shamefully to the destruction of the environment.Putting this in the form of a paeleoanthropologist's question - did Lucy wake up with a bad back?
