mcb.filesBeing somewhat of a perfectionist, it doesn't always feel comfortable to place online unpolished notes and old texts. I'd love to dedicate more time to cleaning up some papers, and not everything I wrote a long time ago exactly represents my current views. But I am more into sharing than into publishing, and I believe in the online medium as a way to also get to know people, not just avoid meeting them, so here they are, for whomever may find them of interest. I'll be especially grateful to those of you who will be gentle enough to provide some inspiring feedback.
