Going back to the Greeks(e.g Essentialism) all the way to Modern Evolution would foster a much stronger intellectual background and avoid most future indoctrination. Understanding fallacies in theories is better than just taking them for gr

Although I'm an atheist, I find this to be somewhat disturbing. Creationism, regardless of its mythological background, still is part of Humanity and any conclusions about it should be drawn by the individual, not the State or teachers

Facebook has too many elements of "poisonous Internet": ignorant rants, memes, political correctness, exaggerated display of public affection,... Gradually, users find other websites to channel their interests and avoid biases, li

A a Latino programmer, I must say it's never been easier to get a job. From this angle, there's something even beyond a meritocracy. However, if one wants to raise money(some VCs) or get a finance job, most are biased towards a c

I'm assuming one would have to manage a hedge fund to actually be benefited? Seems somewhat unfeasible for an individual investor.

I'm not sure there'd have many corporations and, if so, buying local officials would be useless, as they'd have limited power in the first place.

Whereas Stack Ranking uses greed to estimulate achievement on projects, Lockstep uses greed to solely achieve a job title. Therefore, Lockstep salaries are more vulnerable to office politics and employees pretending to achieve, in order to

Articles like these are well-intentioned, but it's part of a quite ignorant and manipulative trend. It makes one believe Capitalism means Coca-Cola, Microsoft and other corporations taking over the world, corrupting local governments a

It's a fallacy to assume IPOs are the only way to burst a bubble. Funds and institutional investors still hold a lot of capital that traces back to the Average Joe. The burden of risk is just not directly put on them.

Great article! It's funny to think how our kids are overwhelmed by useless subjects and have no background on personal finance. On the long-term, it's fundamental for building wealth and a future for oneself.

The pathological liars and self-promoters are usually not as common among developer communities. Now, if you're a founder, you'll see many other founders and VCs whose actions align with those characteristics.

It's adapts itself to the market: if there's more gentrification in an area, the more likely it will be to have these things. Without Airbnb, the only difference is that you'd have more shared disgusting hotel rooms.

Makes me wonder if building a company still is financially wise. Even if you're successful, a prominent well-established career path will probably balance out an average startup exit(assuming there's one).

It's quite easy to blame it on Larry Ellison, a self-centric egotistical individual. Still, when you actually look at what it meant, many other tech giants would be severely affected by Aaron's Law. Only difference is their CEOs a
