My roommate for the past two years is a philosophy major, and he's gotten me hooked on analytic philosophy as opposed to continental. The former actually does attempt to pursue truth through logic and reason. You would also be surprised how

> Not "no" regulation. Bad regulation. It exists! ... so why does that common-sense declaration feel so subversive to say? I wonder this same thing to myself every time I turn on the news or get into an ideological argument with a frien

I had a philosophy professor my sophomore year that was so against consumerism, marketing, advertising, corporations, etc. that he wouldn't even wear branded clothing. He made a point during class to explain how he never watched commercials

What does the author define mastery to be? In the information age, with new tools like WebMD, a product of capitalism and a profit-driven corporation, we have greater knowledge of health and medicine than certified doctors in the past ever

Do you think there aren't problems with the tax system or justice system? I know what you are trying to say though.

I think you should only consider giving free accounts to students who go out of their way to ask.

I'm in the same boat. I want to learn to think of ideas for apps that would create real value that either consumers or businesses would be willing to pay for.

I see what you mean. I am measuring startup success in potential revenue. I think a startup ceases to be a startup when it becomes a profitable business. Also, I wouldn't consider SpaceX to be in the same boat as Twitter, and I assumed we w

Thanks for your nomination? See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Startup_company Regardless of your apparent misunderstanding of what qualifies as a startup, Twitter, in fact, does have a dollar in revenue. Their Japanese version, which al

I don't understand why everyone is whining yet not suggesting an alternative. I would pick Twitter... :D All in this year, they moved Evan Williams to CEO (good idea), raised over $20 million in funding (from Union Square Ventures, Jeff Bez

I think the data in that chart is from 2006, but I looked it up and I'm sorry, I must have heard wrong. Apparently, China will surpass the US in manufacturing in 2009 despite their unemployment rate in manufacturing being much higher lately

Why paper? What about gold? If the dollar collapses a printing press won't help much. Aren't the rates dropped in order to stimulate higher demand, not because of higher demand?

Sorry if I sound like a Peter Schiff robot. I've been listening to him too much lately. I've been meaning to add some more optimistic readings/podcasts to my list. China surpassed us recently, and the US losing its hegemon status is very ba

I'll give you that, but nonetheless depression is fairly rampant in America despite those things. I've met orphans in poverty stricken areas of Mexico that were happier than middle to upper class kids in day care centers here in America. Re

You can't measure credibility through success in the stock market, and that's not what I was implying. Do you take any advice? By your logic it doesn't look like it. I wouldn't want you running our country right now, sorry.

The fundementals of our role within the global economy are anything but sound . Our economy is fueled by consumerism and the service industry. When shit goes down, which do you think has a chance of surviving when countries like China de

The gloom and doom shouldn't depress you unless you derive all your happiness from wealth. Believe it or not, there were happy people living through the Great Deppression, both rich and poor prior.

I (along with many of you I'm sure) have been listening to Peter Schiff's podcast since his predictions from 2004-2006 have materialized, and his outlook on the future of the US economy is very bleak. http://europac.net Duh, no one know

The real problems are coming when China wants to cash their bonds to fund their $500b infrastructure rebuilding projects and the US simply can't pay up.

Thanks for checking it out. It's PHP. I agree, it does need something to make it more appealing. I always planned for it to be used as like a Basecamp for MMO guilds and even casual gamers too, but I decided to withhold management features

This is just a fun project. There are a ton of things I want to do with it still, but tell me what you think if you give it a look.
