I remember reading this post like 1-2 years ago or something, and I re-read it. To be entirely honest, your writing on many issues is interesting and ...
Why, do you want some too? :D I'm the type of person who has always known what they wanted, but I wouldn't say that's super empowering in and of itsel...
Sure, but those earnings are reversed in third-world countries usually, where good IT developers earn more than lawyers on average (again, not more th...
No, they don't make more money in all societies (at least not on average - top lawyers do generally make more than top people in IT pretty much everyw...
How well you're seen by others. For example, the profession of lawyer is typically well-regarded - so even if a lawyer makes less money than someone w...
I've said 6-7K sometime before Christmas, but purely on a technical, non-fundamental kind of analysis. My guess would be these guys also use a technic...
No, I wasn't wrong. We still use Newton's equations, and not Einstein's when we build homes. It works. As for saying that nature remains unchanged - h...
That's why I said the above. But whether it's 200, 300 or 400 - same thing really, I mean Trump used to say that people were doing business with stick...
Yeah, because, you know, we haven't been measuring the acceleration of gravity in any thorough manner before that (for example). Maybe I should've sai...
Ok, let me switch gears then. What the future will be cannot be derived from experience - but can a rational way to behave (and we're always behaving ...
Well, what can I say, I am an extravagant man >:O Though isn't it clear that we need some first-principles, which cannot be derived via argumentation,...
Like take an American with a high-school education - do you imagine they'll go to sweeping the streets? :s Suppose that the pay to be - say - a store ...
Last I heard, Zuckerberg's salary as Facebook's CEO was $1 :P No, I just pointed out that being a good wealth-producer isn't the same as being a good ...
Do you consider that one becomes a billionaire by chance? This depends. They do not produce that wealth alone but when put in certain systems that are...
Yes, but something is fishy with Hume's argument. When we're dealing with logic, we have to establish what things we know with the greatest certainty ...
No, I don't, but if I want to build a house, I will still rely on Newton's equations, GTR or not. That Newton's equations have been superceded by GTR ...
Right, I already know your position on this, so please spare me the retelling. I'm not interested to discuss the metaphysics of it, my interest is tha...
I'm not sure if time had a beginning. No, I can't show that they haven't changed "since the beginning of time", but I can show, for example, that Newt...
The evidence is my past experience. My past experience has proven, that in certain circumstances (ex. the laws of nature) the future is like the past....
Not a fair comparison. ~1700 or so, not 500. And those are only official numbers - I have no doubt that there may be a lot of other very rich people w...
But by the way, having evidence that the future is likely to be similar to the present neither requires knowledge of the future nor the necessity that...
Right. So the claim that the future is like the past is justified by evidence, not by a valid argument from accepted premises. It forms one of those f...
Can you explain how the position I've outlined is determinism? Also please clarify what you mean by determinism. This makes no sense. The claim is tha...
The Dalai Lama is one of the biggest hypocrites on the face of the planet... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JoaoQPbTC6g https://www.youtube.com/watch...
I don't think either of the questions make sense to me. On the one hand, "what are they ultimately composed of" makes no sense because I don't see wha...
And your username and password Sir? >:O The link you provided seems to be to the equivalent of your content management system, not to your blog, and i...
Sir, why are you such a gangster? How do you think this contributes to better outcomes? How would you imagine this goes in a practical situation? I im...
I'm busy planting a cabbage, I'll need to get back to this thread when I finish :D (like Voltaire) What does it mean "why" objects are? Level one is g...
You are such a sophist, you should get a prize for it, you know? It will be called Master Cum Laude of the Science of Eristic. (For the mods, don't th...
And yet, you told me that lack of education is what keeps some from being rich? Yes, the political aspect is definitely true. Class connections? Not r...
Hmm, but I disagree with your basic premise that identity is fragmentation... and probably so would Peterson. I think that quite the contrary, a stron...
Common BC, we both know that those aren't the skills needed to become a billionaire. We both know that most often people become billionaires by starti...
Actually, I'm not going to let you go on this one. What is this below? Is that not a distinction? Next time, you should put your glasses on, and perha...
Oh really? >:O Is that it, dishonesty is insanity, and it rocked your world? Is that why when I told you that one of Peterson's core teachings is the ...
Like, you know, when you start swearing and physically threatening me... >:O just joking, no. I am always in trouble though >:O . See, it depends on w...
Yes, I think unfortunately that would be the case, because the 99% are barbarians. http://blakemasters.com/post/24578683805/peter-thiels-cs183-startup...
