Good point. They always say that about Presidents, they age like 20 years in 8 years.

Completely agree. Who started this never talk about legal matters trend? I think it was lawyers. You always have to take things with a grain of salt, just like when you go on WebMD because of a sinus headache and you learn you likely have a

I agree. Also waking up in the dark tends to depress me. I think I even get more bad dreams when I'm in my later stages of sleep and it's still nighttime. It's like my mind knows it's going to wake up in the dark and it's not happy.

It's true the free market isn't functioning in healthcare. You mentioned doctor supply. During the late 1990s the American Medical Association convinced the government there was going to be a "doctor glut" so the American taxpayer subsidize

True. People sensationalize to get more views. It's like how people title YouTube videos things like "Hillary Clinton gets smacked down by Obama in debate" when it's just a clip of a routine rebuttal by Obama.

True. In addition to assuming the amount of work is constant, it assumes the amount each individual should work is constant. If their fears come true and we somehow do progress to the point where we have half the amount of work to be done,

Absolutely, you need both. I'm not sure how to quantify which one is more powerful or important, especially since "idea" can mean many things, from a very vague concept to a fully fleshed out and vetted business plan. I was just taking issu

I hear people say this often and never quite understood it. The idea is very important. Having a bad idea vs. a good idea is like the difference between trying to sell snow to an Eskimo and trying to sell a glass of water to a man dying of

I think this is often overstated. Every generation thinks today's kids "have it easy" and "are soft." In previous times it was more about the physical or about working with your hands. Now because the world is more about the mental and soci

An important idea to remember is "don't compare your insides to other people's outsides." Of course we don't see the negatives. Nobody's going to post that they're depressed or their life is a mess, or post pictures where they look bad. Rem

Perhaps deep down you really want to be Japanese though. Google might know you better than you know yourself.
