Well, when you finish University, you pretty much know nothing about anything when it comes to money-making. Might as well learn how to earn for yours...
A statistical analysis tells us precious little about why the 10-year survival rate for businesses is around 30%. It also doesn't tell us what makes f...
I see. The alternative is to start some business of your own, you can, in time, make a lot better money that way, than staying on a wage. I really do ...
I didn't say they were lazy nor that they have to work twice as hard individually. Ever heard of inflation? It's a simple question of supply v demand....
I agree with your observation. But what do you reckon is the cause? Less opportunities? Too much bureaucracy? Lower salaries? Yes, I agree with this. ...
1. What is the relationship between public opinions and laws? 2. What influence does peer pressure (including the Media, etc.) have in determining wor...
I live in the world man! Go speak to some young people, and see what they say. Around me, most guys I know aren't interested to get married. Even thos...
https://www.demogr.mpg.de/files/press/1813_Figure2.jpg Not worth the price. And that's why nowadays it takes 2 people working to sustain a family, whe...
Also another indication of this... The age people get married at in Western societies is increasing. Why is that? Because more and more people are opp...
Also, it has been my observation that a lot of young people tend to feel that they deserve X, Y, Z in life, and the notion that they might not get it,...
I agree. The social liberalism and degradation of cultural matters when it comes to family, sex, respect and the like feeds into the consumerist and i...
Hmm, but there is evidence that affirmations can help produce a better self-image, and greater self-confidence, so long as they end up replacing negat...
Thanks for sharing that. I will be listening. I think I would agree with him too. The fissures we notice across the cultural landscape go too deep to ...
I disagree. Only if we dogmatically assert that something must be in the world to affect the world, or something must be physical in order to affect t...
But what is the driving force behind the emergence of the conception of modernity? I'm also interested in the history of ideas, but the history of ide...
So that is why I have started the persuasion thread @"Wayfarer". What's required is persuasion, it is changing wills, not changing intellects. Changin...
I think this is your mistake. Scientific materialism develops out of political and economic tendencies, and not the other way around. Politics is extr...
It would entail abstaining from all violence so long as we assume that love can never be expressed through violence. Because remember, to love one is ...
On the Christian world-view, I think I would disagree with this assertion. Christian love, at its highest, is both preferential and non-preferential. ...
It's quite simple really. Not having a bowel movement when you need to have one is not comfortable. So you experience revulsion towards abstaining, an...
Yes, I think no conspiracy is less likely than 95%. At the very least, I'm quite sure there will be evidence for the intent to create a conspiracy. Le...
Even if he couldn't follow up with it, the fact that he indicated to anyone that the FBI may be used for such purposes is disgraceful to say the least...
Okay, sure, but then we're more of an elite environment here. I would be very surprised if anyone here would physically attack someone else based on d...
It's a written communication, where he expresses the desire that some faction, which includes him, will "stop it" (Trump's election). It's laughable t...
With regard to this particular side of their character, equally bad. However, at least Trump appears to be more honest and stick to his values and poi...
Sure, it is a possibility, but a highly unlikely one given the context. He was not Hillary, so "We" cannot be Hillary. It must be a group that include...
There is no evidence whatsoever that Trump tried to obstruct justice, and use state agencies in order to further ideological goals without regard for ...
That's just the cherry on top of the cake, the main thing is that he's corrupt to the bone, and his moral character does nothing to change that perspe...
I don't think it's immaterial. Here is a guy who has shown contempt for the electoral process, and has gone so far as to suggest that "We'll stop it" ...
That's what I was thinking too, and that's what the poll is indicating as well. But this has ramifications for philosophy. Remember that Socrates was ...
Yeah, I agree with this, I think this is the most useful comment so far. More radical changes require reflection, but, very often, dialogue is too adv...
Well yeah, I have witnessed those too, BUT many of those people were already sort-of persuaded prior to the encounter. They just needed a little push ...
