That was the first thing that came to my mind. If someone owns the rights to your future labor, then don't they own a % of you, since you're treating yourself like an LLC?

If California wasn't subsidizing the South, then they wouldn't have the fiscal problems they currently have. In 2005 alone, Californians paid $47 billion more to the Federal Government than they received in spending. Considering California

Then it is the public and corporate pension funds, endowments, fund-of-funds, etc., that should face scrutiny, not the venture capital firms. Figuring out their expected return from their venture capital investments shouldn't be very diffi

Agreed this is a completely absurd move by the Treasury Department. What brought the financial industry to its knees was too much leverage. Venture capital firms don't use leverage, so they can't be a systemic risk.

He fails to mention the restrictive state laws on the books that heavily regulate who can pay for what in health care. With 90% of health care being basic and routine care, we should only need insurance in catastrophic situations. For exam

Thanks for posting the Orwell article. I hadn't thought about the difference between democratic and tyrannical weapons before.

To be "normal", you are by definition average, and to achieve anything, you need to be "above average" in some way. If you're "above average", then you must by definition be "abnormal". Considering anything "abnormal" is a disease in psyc

A law by Congress cannot override a Supreme Court decision. The Supreme Court has the final say on the Constitutionality of laws in the United States via judicial review, which was used for the first time by the court in Marbury v. Madison

I have a feeling if he made this a centerpiece of the defense case he could have it appealed all the way to the Supreme Court. If you "buy" something, you own it. Similar to the car comment, if you buy a new home, it's not like you get it

If this holds for the vast majority of people, that most people don't learn from their failures, then it should also hold that if you can learn from your own failures you will be able to get a nice head-start on life. It would then also be

Given the method they've created to make carbon nanotubes, it should drive down the price of making the nanotubes and allow things to pan-out. Now if there is some serious flaw that comes-up in the commercialization process, then it probab

It would make sense that teleportation (or perceived teleportation) would be possible from it, since all matter is is stored information. Now the question is if matter is the only way to store information aside from light. If this is so,

Great article. I had heard missionary and mercenary CEO's mentioned, but hadn't seen anything about it yet. In the video he says (paraphrased), "if you can't see yourself doing this your whole life, don't do it", if you're a missionary CEO

Thanks for the elaboration, and agreeing with ThomPete, this article isn't going after academic skills but how the brain learns in general.

I whole-heartedly agree with the last phrase - "Schools don't teach the way children learn." It's amazing how much more learning happens outside of the classroom than in it, especially when you look at how much time you had to spend in the

Your last two paragraphs hit on a point that more managers need to implement but are afraid to, because most managers think that if they make themselves redundant, then they'll be laid-off, instead of promoted. I know of one manager in part
