Its an interesting take on the problem, but it seems a bit exagerated that taking on a completely new identity in a different country is a lot easier than hunting down and deleting some old accounts.

This seems like a pretty big deal, parents and kids listening to a lot of the same music, watching the same kind of television/series. Its interesting, many parents actually expect their kids to rebel nowadays, because they themselves

I don't have any specific critisism of Rosling (He seems very capable in a lot of ways). I think the part that many people find problematic is that he doesnt just present himself as a scientist but as someone who can interpret the data

If there really is some top-secret pedoring, why would they post that shit online?

Thanks for replying! I was actually hoping that you would ask some more general questions, because I would consider these examples edge-cases, and for me to talk in any useful way about them I would have to do a lot of research (the first

I'm probably more on the "SJW" side of things than a lot of people, what questions do you have?

You get the illustrator files if you buy the logo, otherwise you only have a thumbnail.

I wouldn't mind some governments trying harder to overcome the failings of humanity. More clearly approving certain kinds of behaviour may not change the minds of adults but at least sets a good example for children. The problem is of

I've seen a lot of people saying that Nintendo were kinda dumb for taking so long to capitalize on the incredible brand recognition of mario and pokemon, and looking at the money pokemon go is making, I don't disagree. But I think

Yeah, and it's weird that he keeps insisting that games like DOOM and super meat boy wouldn't be considered art (while treating games like Gone Home and Firewatch like they've somehow betrayed the medium). I mean, if you don&

I think the idea of seeing some hidden truth, comes simply from seeing the world from some other perspective. I guess the problem people have with that is that people who take drugs talk like their epiphanies are only obtainable by doing dr

I don't disagree with you that what you discribe sounds like a good way to live. But I meant that talking about 'winning at life' is problematic because it suggests there is a finish line. Which is wrong, because as you say,

I always defined "being happy" as being satisfied. And being satisfied can be defined as "being the way you want to be". So in that sense I think happiness IS a kind of ultimate goal. I may have stretched the definition

I think that is a part of it, but also a lot the films we see and books we read have convinced us that we'll recognize happiness when we'll find it.

I think a large part of the problem is that when people talk about finding "happiness" they are actually talking about "winning at life". Which is impossible of course. Every time that you do something that you think wil

Could you please expand on the last paragraph? I think about happiness a lot lately, and it seems like you have some intetesting thoughts.

So why does the concept of a warning exist at all then?

I think a weird thing about kickstarter is that lots of campaigns just become places for pre orders. Pretty much everyone understands that the backer-amount just shows how much interest there is, but meanwhile the money is still being added

Sorry, bit of an off-topic question, but I've been wondering for a while: what do people meen when they talk about there being a hipster culture somewhere? Young couples obsessed with lifestyle? Just curious

Yeah, and an important plotpoint is that a church is trying to get rid of the soulmates because they are part of the original sin. So you should prob turn you view around 180 degrees.

This is what I find appealing about journaling, but I just find the thought that someone might find mu journal and read all my thoughts over the years kinda scary. Do you do anything to protect your journal?
