There’s a Disparity That Is Not Talked About Enough

Something has been on my mind for a long time now. This something is the reality that is reflected in one principle and one law. One is a sociological principle contrived by an Italian polymath named Vilfredo Pareto called the Pareto Distribution. The other is a law that governs productivity in any creatively-productive domain. This law was furnished by a British scientist and historian named Derek de Solla Price. His law is called Price’s Law.

I will return to this principle and law shortly, as I will define, contextualize, explain, and relate them. First, I want to tell you how I’ve been recently affected by them.

Most recently, I was forced into a group for a project for one of my university classes. I typically enjoy group projects, but I was with two people with whom I’ve never worked. I didn’t mind this, but by the day the project was due, I had done at least 50% of the work. All three of us were supposed to present in front of the class for a total of approximately eighteen minutes (at six minutes per person). From the beginning to the end of the presentation was just under fifteen minutes. I spoke for more than six of them.

Who Is Brian?

I’m Brian Bagrov, and I made Brian’s Blog to promulgate the culmination of what I’ve learned in my 27 years. My intent is to document my thoughts and findings for anyone who cares to listen.
Why Should We Listen to a 27-Year-Old?

I may, perhaps, potentially, possibly know more than the average 27-year-old, but that’s certainly not enough time to gain a lifetime of wisdom. Why listen to me?

Well, it’s not about listening to me. I’m not here to instruct you or to coach you. I’m not a guru or a charismatic leader of man. My goal is to learn, and I believe I’ve learned valuable lessons during my life. Some I’ve learned from first-hand experience and some by synthesizing second- and third-hand experience.

There is a ridiculous amount of information out there, and it is certainly overwhelming. It’s important to be open to learning and accepting new information without being inundated and paralyzed. This is where I may be able to help. I’m not telling you what I know; I endeavor to relate experience and knowledge in a digestible and applicable format. Knowledge is great, but what’s the point if you can’t use it? I like being able to apply knowledge in order to improve my life and the life of those around me.
