Im sorry about your brother. I never said it was a moral failing. What I did say is that people lack a values system to find meaning in their life. Even if you are poor, you can find meaning in your life, yet our society is completely geare

None of those things should have any impact on your daily life. If you didnt plug into the internet (your choice) you wouldnt know about any of those things and they simply wouldnt matter. I live in the same country and I have a great life

I havent read much about stoicism. But if I had to guess, being serene all the time is not being stoic. You should experience all the emotions, yet simultaneously realize you can be angry and still have peace. Because you can accept the fee

Austin is still like this (pop 1M). You can be anywhere in town and still run into people you know. People can still work 9 to 5 and comfortably raise a family. While it is becoming more pretentious with tech money, it isn't too bad. A

that is the opposite of how science is supposed to work. Using the method described you will statistically always find false correlations in data sets. This is because you can find patterns in any set of data. You have to start with a hypot

there is an infinite amount of work to be done. There are needs unfulfilled today because there arent enough people and therefore the price is too high. There will always be work that machines cant do.

life is statistics. The more at bats you get, the more likely one of them will be a home run. Tenacity, hard work, risk tolerance, and good decision making give you more at bats. There is a second path too which is slow and steady wins the

the only thing that has to happen is that each country that believes in climate change just needs to tax oil (and coal) at a slow, but ever increasing rate. It will incentivize a shift to alternate energy. Instead govts love to ban, control
