Ask HN: Do you keep “gold” advices to yourself or do you share it? and why?
- onecommentman 6y agoI think this was frowned upon by someone like Edgar Cayce https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edgar_Cayce https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edgar_Cayce If you make the analogy between advices and “channeling” in the woo-woo psychic sense, there is general agreement on “clear channeling” being the way to go, from what little I’ve read. It is as close to a “law” as anyone (anything?) is willing to posture. There are conservation and symmetry laws all over the place, it seems. As above, so below. Do unto others. The usual.
- auslegung 6y agoI’m sorry I’m not understanding the point you’re making, could you explain it in different terms for me?
- egonschiele 6y agoI don't think it's either/or. I share every bit of "gold" advice, but sometimes it's only shared with family. Sometimes it's shared with the internet at large. Also, I'd say most people don't listen to most of my advice.
- auslegung 6y agoI share anything I think may help someone. There are times people don’t want my advice or help and I’m getting better at identifying that, so in those cases giving the Golden advice is saying nothing at all. I do this because I like seeing other people’s lives improve, even if it’s something trivial like how to get the most use out of a bar of soap :D
- ddingus 6y agoThis. I also find it comes back to me. When I am in need of great advice, all those people I helped either know and can return consideration I gave them, or can intoduce me to someone who can.
- lazylizard 6y agoi don't. every flea n its dog has an opinion n wants to give it to me unsolicited already. i don't want to contribute to the problem.
