I apologize; I thought this was just generally accepted as fact so I appreciate you pointing out my own bias. This article mentions how the US is more materialistic than other countries, although it's not the main point of the article.

In what way does the article treat depression as the fault of the individual? Seems more like a failing of our society to recognize the importance of relationships. I'd argue this is especially true in the US where we obsess over caree

I think many people besides the 1% have the motivation to fix the environment. On the other hand, most of us have priorities that are more immediate, like being able to put food on the table. I don't see any other reason people besides

I actually have an electric piano as well and even though it has a mechanical action but it still doesn't come close unfortunately. I guess I am relatively serious for an amateur but the piano is a very difficult instrument to master a

I actually have a high quality digital (Yamaha N1). It even has the same action as a grand piano. Unfortunately, every time I went to my lessons to play on a real grand I had practically no control. The pedal especially is completely differ

I actually had one of these and can tell you that unfortunately the technology just isn't there. The action is the same but the way it reacts and sounds isn't, and at least for classical music, learning the nuances of the sound (a
