Being forced to pay taxes and obey laws is not having a hive mind. Nor does the government equals a being that I serve.

My point is they do not interact in a way we would qualify as hive. Neither do we.

Spiders interact with each other. Are they part of a hive?

Some realities cannot be reduced nor should they be reduced to analogies like "hive". Our social reality is irreductible being the most complex one known. Hive mind as an emergent property still implies a common thing for which on

Have you ever seen a real hive bro? I see you consider yourself as part of one, but do you even realize the implications or just mindlessly accept it? I am not and will never a bee. This analogy is demonstration of laziness.

I am not a bee. I have no queen. I am not part of a hive, I am a social individual. This hive mind over-simplification is ridiculous and to me: disgusting. As if we were one

Things that matter to you, as with anything else, do not matter by themselves. Things are. Their value is determined by a mind. Only God's mind can determine the value of a thing. Whether God exists or not, the statement stands. Becaus

I have a friend with a Chemical Engineering degree. Recently he decided to change careers and go into Med School. He tells me of how it's ridiculous how various concepts in medecine could be replaced by a simpler one from physics. If I

I assumed wrongly. I guess I thought most programmers were as I am.

by Xc43 8y ago
Except that a good percentage of programmers are not as subject to the know-it-all symptom that comes from prestige. Because, our field is not as set as medecine.

What is negative about bourgeois?

... Welcome to life? If you want to be sheltered, work for someone who will value your work and reward you accordingly. Otherwise, prepare to deal with the cold truth that many businesses are out there for themselves exclusively.

Well this is my first client. And I found them by applying on a website for local consultants.

by Xc43 9y ago
Cool thanks. My first client told me their sales is mid hundred millions CAD. And they are expanding into other industries that require my skills. So in all likelihood their revenue will go up. I guess I was lucky by finding them without sc

I found a client in one week. I have no portfolio but have worked at a local online ERP company for one year. And before that finished university in CS. Headhunters was not the way for me. Nor the big websites for freelancers. I found a web

I think it is more than only words. I think it is about being able to sell, gain trust and establish clear expectations.

Thank you! I am getting into consulting and while I found a client, I know this is just the start for me. So I estimate a probability of 70% I will read everything about consulting on your blog.

As a budding freelancer, I will try to have a talk about the value I bring instead of rate per hour. My point is while it might not happen that a business owner tells you how much value he got out of you, you now know that's what he th

He is lucky. All of you without mental problems are quite lucky. Kenneth, if you are reading this: I feel you man. I had a similar experience to you. Similar fleeting views... without a crazy chick. I was the crazy one. What I did not say s

Indeed, I should emulate Sam. Not in every aspect though. In the same way that I do not believe that astrology works and won't start believing because a successful person told me to. That person would have been successful not matter what, t
