I've figured it out. Most of those things will fall by the wayside anyway as people realize that they offer no tangible advantage in life and take up a lot of time. If you can get me peeps to build it, I can even get the money for it.

No, alas, no blog because blogging is against my code of ethics; I believe the phattic communication tendencies of modern society will soon cause it to be so distracted that all work will come to a grinding stop and collapse civilization. P

I don't think you understand how the hidden side of "capitalism" works - as long as a few people continuously control how much money is in the money supply via banks, whether you realize/like it or not, the whole world is socialist in that

But most people either are stupid and/or can't change because the system is setup to maintain the status quo. If you had any clue how money is introduced into the system, you'd be outraged that banks had the nerve to try to pull such a sca

Okay, so I found this awesome, superbly designed YouTube series that teaches you about how money is created and works and how we're in a massive debt problem as people/companies/governments not by accident but by design and if we don't do s

So, in conclusion, according to you hackers are monotone, unidimentionsional people with no interest in how the world at large works as long as it doesn't have something to do with eBay or Chinese internet startups or other such things? Sad

You know, this smacks a bit of "Me thinks the lady doth protest too much." Ideas are a dime a dozen. But good ideas are not. If you already have the skills as a developer, and good, marketable, monetizable ideas are really as easy to come
