How is it possible that "managers and knowledge workers now spend 90% to 95% of their time in meetings, on phone calls and emailing". Do we just have a shell economy where people are making up communications that need to happen an

I prefer to look at it as a 'global adaption opportunity'. Always be positive, right? Also I am pretty sure this has been invalidated already.

Good point. I ommitted farm cats, despite growing up on a farm. In that case, they are useful.

My (almost) entirely unscientific thesis is that this is why cats are domesticated. They are neurotic and totally useless pets, but people love them, specifically certain people. The "crazy cat lady" probably just had toxo induced

I think that you are adding cognitive dissonance, not removing will power, from the equation. Will power means following through on an intention. Unless you accidentally stop smoking because you all of sudden realize that it does not in fac

On the note of 1 and 4. I have met two different people (different situations) who funded their company through student loans and then failed and defaulted. I have met several people who would start companies but are buried in student debt,

I learned Python/Django, then JavaScript/Node.JS, so somewhat similar to you. I recently started using Go/Beego and it has been a real pleasure and performance boost. Go is statically typed and compiled rather than run-time i

People with Aspergers often have to turn off emotions because they are too intense, the rationality is a coping mechanism. People perceive a lack of emotion, but really it is just that it is easier to view the world as rational than it is t

Art of War is only useful in a short list of highly competitive scenarios. Most business is surprisingly not that zero-sum. And The Price is mostly useful dealing with the father/son business dynamic. Not that relevant otherwise.

I think the goal is to replace one boss (whether it is VCs, a customer, an employer, etc.) with one hundred bosses (ie. tons of customers, powerless investors, several different freelance employers) so you can tell whatever one is causing y

Several of our customers are Leamington tomato processors. I think part of it has to do with where the processing infrastructure is located. I doubt there is 1M+ square feet of tomato grading, sorting, processing and canning equipment other

I did not refer to whether people are worthy of being in the gene pool, you assumed. What I mean is that everyone who is still in the gene pool is still in it for a reason. Sometimes people have talent, sometimes people don't have tale

I think this might be similar to buying a house with a conditional offer of home inspection and then deciding to nullify the offer on a mixed/negative home inspectors report. It is entirely subjective, and the report could have been po
