> I tend to dress a bit sloppily and take public transit, so I end up talking to a fair number of homeless folks. There's dressing sloppy and then there's dressing like a homeless person sloppy. Sorry for making light of your d

Non-linear career to me means working as a web developer and then working as a mobile developer. Working as a web developer and then working as a plumber is not a non-linear career to me, but two different careers. You are using "caree

He had a PhD in econometrics. He was a supreme nerd. He did not strike me as the management type. Some people just aren't able to climb that ladder and they fall off.

Does it alarm you? That's what I really want to know.

There's probably a "domestication gradient" or something like that. I can sense it when I talk to people. Some people are like little children. They haven't thought about their own safety ever. Others are literal wild me

If making $10 an hour as a retail employee when you have an advanced degree is what you were talking about when you spoke of the non-linear careers people have today...that seems a little facetious to me. I guess if I make some money panhan

There's no feedback mechanisms which penalize the university for turning out unemployable graduates. Peter Thiel actually talks quite a bit about this. I think you're right on the money. We must consider the increased cost of a un

It happens a lot. I've seen it first hand and I've also read plenty of horror stories on the internet. There's definitely a shocking disconnect between the education system and the job market. Many people are becoming qualifi

Here's a concrete example. There was a guy that had a PhD and worked for big pharma as a researcher all his life. The company he was working for downsized and he was left unemployed at 54. He looked for another position somewhere else,

I've seen a few people fall off the career ladder to their doom in different fields. I once was a member of a local hackerspace and the place was like the Island of Misfit Toys. So many interesting and talented people biding there time

Amusingly said. I agree that the most docile tend to have the greatest fitness in society, but I don't think it is all a matter of genes. I once had a near death experience and it really woke me up. I think anyone that has been close t

My point is: your wife doesn't feel responsible for your personal safety. Here's the difference between a domesticated person who expects someone else to protect them, i.e., do their violence for them, and someone that feels respo

The general population is highly domesticated. The defining aspect of domestication is the surrender of one's capacity to do violence in exchange for peaceful symbiosis. The domesticated are accustomed to filling rigid roles in society

This could be seen as a metaphor for the practice of public relations. Like when we learn about the president's dogs. Sounds like a strange interpretation, I know, but folklore and various traditions have been known to contain veiled w

That's not the only collective fiction that's problematic. At this point, the lies are the only thing keeping everything going.

Nobody cares -- that's the sad truth. Most people are just running to stay in the same place on the corporate capitalist hamster wheel. I don't think people are free enough to care about morals and things that matter beyond their

Presumably, all that Jesus does is a reinforcement of the self-same Logos. There's a lot of repetition of the same principles across different contexts.

Bread has a special place in Christian symbolism because of the Eucharist. The bread of the Eucharist is called "the body of Christ." The ritual associates material nourishment and spiritual nourishment. Epiousios must be related

The function of this adjective seems to be the augmentation of "bread" so that it is interpreted as food to feed the spiritual mission of Christians. The day is to be food for their stated higher spiritual purpose. Clearly, this w
