I was surprised to learn spartan society had pedophilia built in similar to a mentor system. Will Durant wrote about it, but I never hear anything in pop culture except the warrior bit.

The website states "10x more screens ... 10x more focus ... 10x more productivity" That's a stretch! Or where to improve your pitch. Personally the only 10x productivity I get is by disconnecting from wifi. I'd love to s

Same here. Social Environment is hard to overcome. In the battle of social environment (group think) vs. individual reasoning, environment will win almost every time. This is a known bias among professional investors, and well appreciated t

Similarly if you try to delete your Facebook account, the only option is "Deactivate Account". Or at least it was for me. They don't give a whoot- until their bottom line losses reflects the damage they cause.

Companies effectively run the government, via the 2 party system and the back and forth of high level corporate execs back and forth into gov't. They don't want to rock the boat once that bountiful position is achieved. That said,
