How is to express yourself vain? I suppose keeping a diary, which in its own way is a literary form, is vain?

and to be able to have plenty of time you need to make some millions so you do not have to work.

I do not think it is useless to ask what makes me happy. You know there are such things as forests and trees. You start with differentiating big themes, such as what makes me happy, or what do I want, or what will I be doing in ten years ti

I think the author doesn't really believe in meritocracy. The issue really doesn't seem to be as to whether the best are getting the places. The author seems to imply though not state that anyone can be able and meritorious of being part of

The only option then it seems is to use your common sense and read books humans do not change that much.

I am sorry. I can not quite agree with that. I do not know about the united states, but here in the united kingdom we have a very independent judiciary which has ruled against the government time and time again. I do agree in a way, just be

The quote and the circumstances in which the quote was made, seems to be advocating a complete ban in regards to secrets from our government. I was pointing out that there are very good reasons at times for keeping certain things secret, su

I am not sure. I think I would like the red button to be kept very secret.

Well America is 300 million. 850,000 then is about 0.30 percent of the population. Thus, it is secret to the 99.70% of the American population. That sounds very secret to me.

The reason why I was surprised is because Iran is vilified often in the news, so I thought the people of Iran were repressed, living in a sort of dictatorial regime, where information is heavily censored, a bit like a slightly more lenient

I think we need to see data. Those seem to be merely opinions. I think so too is a bit early to tell. Give it a year. The Times is either sinking or swimming. I can see this working. For example they could publish some very exclusive storie

You think their writing is so much superior to say the guardian, or seeing as you might have conservative leanings, the telegraph?

I do not think the younger members of society do not care about privacy. I think an 18 year old knows full well what he would like to keep private, such as a nude picture of himself, and what to make public, such as a face picture of himsel

Well, maybe politicians should not do naughty things. If they are using gmail for lawbreaking then I am in favour of google outing them.

That is a bit Kafkaesque. Everyone has the right to know why their right is being denied or what they are being charged with. If it was a privet firm then fine, but the government can't just go around closing websites without saying if not

Depending on the context not challenging yourself or being too shy might be a mistake in itself. I do think many of us do not like mistakes, do not purposely aim for them, do try not to make mistakes, etcetera, but we still do make mistakes

I don't know about happiness. That is a very vague, subjective word which I am not sure it even means much in substance, but, if prosperity makes people happy, then yes I guess internet access makes you happy. So too, if autonomy, that is a

Hahaha. Belgium is a strange country from the point of view of governance. In the United Kingdom however I think there would be great constitutional crises if the Queen does not give assent. You can not simply declare her unable to reign fo

I said technically. That is legally. The last monarch to not sign a bill was around 1700, but the queen has the legal right to not sign a bill. Also, the prime minister has the power, but he derives it from the royal prerogative, that is th

Mistakes might be great for learning, but that does not mean that they should be praised, or that there should not be disincentives for making mistakes. Mistakes have consequences, great mistakes have great consequences. I do not therefore

It would probably be 0, or 1. Apparently in Cambodia it is only 70,000 or so, the lowest I found from quickly looking at "bad" countries. Iran has millions! Even Cuba has plenty. Must be sad to live in North Korea.

really? only 20 or 30? Hmm, I think there are more than 20 or 30 western newspapers and they probably are if not blocked then heavily censored.

Well, he can only give his opinions, based hopefully on his experience. The best way to find out is perhaps to build your own experience, do your own trial and errors and see what works for you. Then maybe you are in a position to judge as

On balance then, what would you suggest is better, an absolute monarchy, a representative democracy, or perhaps a mixture of the two?

Technically however they have ALL the power.

I think perhaps the place has become too big and certain common assumptions or implied conventions, etc, are not as widely understood or known any longer. Thus, people down-vote for whatever reason they wish. Perhaps PG should write down so
