I agree, though I got the feeling that ZT is superior over VPN because of the IPv6 metanet. If you use just a regular VPN then the traffic at the other side of the VPN will still be slow.

It’s as much publicity as it is building it IMO. Moving perception to new and exciting things is a useful tactic for companies.

Agreed. IMO there’s people out there trying every permutation of what could be successful. Some of them are going to be lucky and hit gold. Taleb covers this in one of his books: Fooled by Randomness https://www.amazon.com/F

I would say that people mostly participate in the sex market until they find someone they’re willing to settle down with. If you were seeing someone who you considered “marriage material” you wouldn’t be on the sex market. Until that time h

To be fair, coke can't get many new customers buying their product. Yet they spend quite a bit of money advertising their product so that their existing users keep purchasing.

I had a good laugh at your theory. Every other person cannot be bad so we have to attack things that are mindless. I guess you can put aliens and AI robots in that theory as well. Except both of those have the potential to be understood. Zo

I read recently that studios are making more movies aimed at the 50s+ female crowd. The movies are about being single woman and the dating scene at that age. The reason they made these films is because the 60+ woman demographic is the highe

I agree with your points. Our modern society is so complex that for a lot of people it is easier to use escapism as a form of relief. While I agree that all people should be learning and growing I would have to argue that if someone is trul

I’ll second this. I have the same as you - autoimmune issues that cause hypothyroidism. Stress and anxiety that debilitates me at times. Not American, not Mensa too. Just anecdotal but at least there’s two of us :)

As far as I understand it this is a move by governments to prevent money from leaving their borders. VND is a currency useful only in Vietnam. Bitcoin has no borders - this means they can't constrain that value inside the country. I fe

I agree with all the points in the article. The issue I have with this article is that it seems structured the same way buzzfeed listicles are. The article says to learn to avoid bad forms of dopamine but is written in such a way that it do

This is an unconvincing statement. Amazon is known for reinvesting all their revenue back into the company. That’s why their stock price was low for so long.
