I would run a blog with my real name and publish all the ideas I come up with. I have two reasons for that: 1.) Experimentally, I observed that stating your brilliant idea on paper at the moment the idea starts to bug and distract you wear

There are many ways to raise money without selling company's shares: specifically, issuing securities (bonds are the simplest examples). There are many legal issues indeed but I still see none that cannot be resolved. Example from profounde

The question here is not whether we should look down on people with certain traits but to find out what makes a person effective. It is not about judgment, it is about studying the interaction between human traits and the society. As for th

The system you described is implemented in parts of Europe, specifically in Eastern Europe - the cell phone and voice/data plan markets are separated completely. As a result, the prices are very low and the network coverage is much better

I suggest that you think over opting in for a dentistry/vision/emergency plan. Old man in a shack is definitely going to need it. Probably this should constitute the largest part of your suggested spending whatever your motivation is.

I agree that I used only my specific definition of meaningfulness and it is a subjective one. Fair point. I assumed that making something of value for other people is what makes life meaningful. Making and shipping a product, supporting a f

That is what I wanted to emphasize. There is a difference between drama and music. Drama or movies have a plot and a story. The author passes to us the thoughts and experiences that she has in her head, that is what makes it an intellectual
