To me when people say they don't want anything, they mean they don't want anything the way most people want it, or that they don't want it in a way that is expected of them. So the solution then is to go beyond what is norma

What is the struggle if there's no meaning? In my opinion, you struggle only, because there are actually things that mean to you. You cling to things, you yearn for things, and you don't get them. That's the struggle. If you

Well, I was thinking we could have endless number of (meta) networks / network configurations / standards. I mean each node could have as many tags as needed, e.g. #safe_for_children_v1.1 #pure_web_v2.0. Then you could configure y

Maybe if IPFS (~web 3.0) succeeds in the future, you could solve the advertising problem by inventing a meta network, where all the sites involved would agree to follow certain standardized criteria of site purity. You'd tag the nodes

A caring father can hurt the child's development by making him feel too comfortable. You can show that you care by putting boundaries. I'm not sure the age matters here. You can cut down the internet, or make him pay rent. You can

I'm sorry to say this, but the tone in your voice towards your son sounds more detached than it should in my opinion. I mean, why would you let him slip into that bleak future you're describing for him? Shouldn't you be the o

Hikitomoris often have low status. They aren't respected in the eyes of their peers, because they lack either a job, skills/education, a spouse, or looks. So when they talk with their peers, they feel inferior, and are often remin

My guess would be that we are too rushed, munching way too much information that scatter our brains, too prone to use shortcuts to get ahead (can't afford being deep), too busy to let ourselves sink into the very much needed meditative

Well, if you have no money, you could try selling your story. If you contact the right people, you could make several hundreds of dollars. Publicity might eventually lead to help. Learn from your mistakes, and become a trustworthy person. T

I don't think speculating about the possibility of an emergency solution or escape route that is outside the reach of errors made in software/hardware/you name it is pointless. Speculating about this particular idea could be,

True. Quite many incidents / accidents during the takeoff. Also, crashes into mountains seem common as well. Not sure what the reaction time is in those cases.

Yes, that splitting up would be one of the follow-up questions.

Every time I read about these plane accidents, I wonder why planes don't have any emergency features to save these people. Couldn't you build a plane that would eject the cabin as a parachute module or something. Yes, I'm sur

Ok, sounds great :). Have patience with Krishnamurti, because he's very subtle. First time I read his book, The Awakening of Intelligence , I thought he was nice but rather empty in content, because I saw his message intellectually, w

Ah, silly me. I forgot to mention that I was referring to his 3 hour Youtube workshop (link was in the summary), not the summary itself. Hard to imagine the book would be that different. Still, I appreciated the applied Krishnamurti :).

True about the rarity of Krishnamurti. Not sure how Krishnamurti would feel about Rosenberg, though, since he seems to be offering template solutions. What comes to your asterisk issue, the help says: "Text surrounded by asterisks is i

It seems his teachings are based on the teachings of Jiddu Krishnamurti. There are some good audio books by him on Youtube, like Freedom from the Known . On a slightly related note, Jonathan Blow also has a talk called Techniques for deal

Just recently saw an ad on the web that I actually clicked. Was pretty surprised, because it happens maybe once a year or so. The ad said: "New restaurant in [hometown]" (big text) with simple yet captivating graphics. It had a fe

I found maintaining a TODO list was helpful in seeing how fragmented my ideas were, which helped me to start actually doing things, because for one thing, I realized that I had forgotten most of my (fragmented and peculiar) ideas, and even

Look, I was merely trying to give the author more information by verifying your observation. Your remark to me seems reasonable only if the author can see how many upvotes/downvotes a certain comment has. I don't know if he can.

Also thought IDA* hanged. An indicator indicating initialization would be helpful (didn't see one).

This may be irrelevant, but I've long wondered, do we really need the buttons at all. Couldn't we just have a "sensory board", where each individual could initialize the board using their hand movement / finger pres

I agree. The content was in sync with the title. There were some decent advises and observations for example regarding how to be more tactful, but in general the book seemed to be about faking and manipulating your way to victory. It's
