I threw out everything I owned. But that is not minimalism. Minimalism is when I can throw out the thoughts in my head. - James Altucher

She looks ok in google image searches. I'd personally like to meet her just to find out how she convinced so many people to invest in her company.

I like this view, that there are many subtle things that one person got right and another didn't - couldn't you say that person A was just naturally (genetically advantaged) to discovering those things in their field of mastery? I

I never knew that. I always just thought those words were parsed out as noise. You're saying that whole questions help? Also sometimes when I search I don't know exactly what I'm looking for, so it takes a few queries to lear

Almost everything I've ever learned started with a Google search. I'm 30 now - I started using it when I was 15 - and since I didn't have a lot of friends or stuff happening growing up, I spent hours browsing. A lot of porn,

It's actually a common perspective from the "manosphere" on sites like ReturnOfKings and RooshV. Chateau Heartiste also comes to mind. They were very interesting reads but some of the writings were too hostile for my taste.

Agree with improving first impressions. Being in decent shape + clean haircut + clean dress + smelling clean are very important. Those things are universally recommended. Besides those things, read a lot of books / watch Youtube videos

What about moral luck: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_luck If higher IQ correlates with higher income, and higher income means better circumstances (health, safety, opportunity, etc) then wouldn't that expl

I'd like talk to you about your setup and experiences. My email is in my profile.

Choice. Most of my coworkers can't understand why I am doing it. I love the feeling of lightness. And the earthy smell of the outdoors when I wake up in the middle of the night.

I'm a full-time pharmacist working 50 hours a week, with several investment rental properties. Since April of this year I've been sleeping in my 2002 Toyota 4Runner in the parking lot at work. Shower at the gym, infrequent laundry

I really have to internalize this message. I always feel like I have to be better and smarter than everyone around me just to feel adequate. I guess that's one characteristic of insecurity. Is this why romantic relationships seem to ki

Turn it into more billions, I guess. There really is no point, but then again, a lot of things seem pointless to me.

Yes. I'm insecure about myself and I feel like having a lot of money might solve the issue. At least let me walk around confidently, comfortable in my own skin. At least, that's the hypothesis.

I'm like you, but I'm 30 and don't want a family or kids. And travel sounds incredibly boring. I've been investing 90% of my income the past five years. When the article or any coworker says "enjoy your hard earned

Is it strange for me to wish I had aphantasia? This sounds like a blissful condition.

Organic vegetables are allowed to have organic pesticides. When you find out what they are you will not be pleased.

But is it wrong for a rich person to hoard wealth, or to spend only on luxuries for themselves? Why do they have to "contribute to society"? I'm by no means wealthy, and at my age of 29 I've donated more money than many

Yup, so not unethical really. Especially when a higher monthly supplement might not have benefit over placebo.

Placebo doesn't mean "no treatment" - it could be the standard therapy, while an experimental drug is matched up against it.

There's something to be said for having cash available - here and there, opportunities pop up for me that I can take advantage of. For example, recently I lent money at very high interest, short-term. If I suddenly get interested in pr

It looks like most people took pills with them, while the pharmacist did not. I'm a pharmacist and I would not take any. Maybe the sample size is too small for me to say this, but it seems that laymen overestimate the power of medicine
