Some parts of culture are easier to create than others. But losing weight? Endless amounts of effort is already spent towards this goal, it is deeply embedded in our culture(for ex. Fat shaming). I don't some large ad campaign would

//Amazon has Kiva Systems which work great, but you'd be surprised that most of their competitors still never figured out how to have positive margins on their products. Interesting. Why is that?

This makes sense. Also it's known(both by researchers and users) that cannabis can increase/create paranoia in some people. And paranoia is stressful so that can lead to schizophrenia(and paranoia is a part of the diagnostic crite

Money combines many metrics into a single, very abstract number. Maybe a multi-goal optimization, and using more concrete goals is better? And goals should be directly related to fullfilment of human needs over both the short and long term

If all you offer is the idea, it would be hard to find a good partner. If you pay money for experts, sign contracts and non-disclosure agreements. Find an expert with a good reputation. If they breach those contracts you can sue, and that c

Tony Robbins is a bullshiter. That's why I don't listen to him. I listened to Naval with a critical eye, and read criticisms from HN. His ideas seems useful, but tilted towards selling Entrepreneurship as the only way to become we

Why should I care whether an idea is original ? If he offers me a bunch of true and useful ideas, in a single place, and in a useful form, that seems valuable to me.

Attention is rare, definetly. But some types of good information are very valuable too. Surely it's available somewhere today, but finding it can sometimes be very difficult.

It's a good experience, for sure better than Google. But I get 1/5 - 1/10 hit ratio(successful/empty searches). That's not habit forming, memory forming for me. Is there a core use case where I would get a good hit
