I assume something that is rare for a person like that would be to be told the whole, ugly truth about things. That kind of person would have unlimited talent willing to work with them, but finding someone who gives them accurate informatio

Strange that no one has mentioned Rockwell [1]. I use the original model in the shower without soap. I use Shark blades and they have been better than the Astra I had. [1]: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/rockwell-mo

Renting. People with the resources borrow money from family for down payments. People without borrow money from secondary lenders. My downtown condo up $50k/15% over the past 18 months but friends outside the core are flat or down.

I am in a similar position (22 years old). I have been "coping" by working on machine learning projects on the side in the area that I have determined gives me a lot of meaning (teaching AIs to learn correlations between diet and

The grounds are scientific, not logical: http://link.springer.com/article/10.1207%2Fs15327558ijbm1202... What you are describing is the broader context of innate drive for something. Meaning is a feeling you get from s

I have noticed a strong trend away from doing actual work, towards cooperation and collaboration as a means of increasing the upside of the small amount of work that is actually done, to ensure it is worthwhile and relevant work being done.

Anxiety and high IQ are linked: http://www.livescience.com/36259-anxiety-linked-high-iq.html so it is possible (I am speculating) that by reducing anxiety, you are reducing IQ. Not everyone wants to be smart, but it is not

The only ads I see now are billboards, which leads to weird distortions in what products, cars, TV Shows, etc. I am aware of.

Meaning is what you feel when you act and others benefit, regardless of the effect that action has on you. Happiness is when you benefit, regardless of who acted or why. In order to have a happy, meaningful life, you have to contribute to p

I will add that for products with nutrition labels, label claims are way stricter in Canada. In the USA, a label claim such as 200mg of Caffiene or 200mg of Sodium must be true at the best before date in order to be valid, but there is no t

Interesting. That is actually quite helpful. My fiance is INFJ and Aspergers, and I am ENTJ and not Aspergers. She gets excited and blurts things out, where as my excitement builds as my mental model of something does.

Completely agree with the Sigma thing. I found the PUA stuff (my interest was more evo pysch) so frustratingly irrelevant and misguided until I read about the Sigma reproductive model. I think the difference (clinically speaking) between n

I would recommend Go with the Beego framework. It is very popular in the far east but not so much in English-language countries. Except that it is an excellent framework for Go. I have done RoR, vanilla Node.JS and Meteor, but I my preferen

I have read SJobs bio(s). My father, brother and fiance have Aspergers. My father and brother especially relate more to Woz and are scared of people like Jobs. I relate more to Jobs than Woz, and I am more OCPD. If Jobs is Aspergers, he is

Indeed. Although eventually nerds learn boundaries in most cases that protect them. Apple and Microsoft worked out pretty well for Woz/Allen without them having to do any sales themselves. So it can be win-win. My Dad, fiance and broth

Yes. It is definetely possible to be both.

We call this dynamic the nerd vs. nerd exploiter dynamic. Jobs and Woz or Allen and Gates are good examples.

A follow-up to this that I thought was profound. I have told this story here before but it really relates. I was once on a train in Europe and lucked into an upgrade to first class. The food car was in the back and I wanted a sandwich, so I

Cholesterol is good but the antinutrients in egg whites are not ideal. Egg yolks are extremely good for you though.

I think you may be right. Perhaps we are just one B2B sales cycle away from domestic drone-based law enforcement.

The assumption is that if there is something you need to know and you encounter a situation that requires it, you can learn it. And if it turns out you do not need it, you saved the time. Further, formal instruction only works for some type

Unschooler here. I am the only unschooler from my 12 person cohort of hippie parents who did not go to University. And I am doing okay. So I think school basically has no effect. Mostly just daycare. It is good at that, though.
