Everyone knows I am critical of current-day educational institutions, however, despite that, I pretty much agree with this advice. I am grateful for h...

Yes, they do stop entrepreneurship. I don't want us to become a world where we all work for a few big huge corporations, and all of us have jobs - so ...

The workers ain't gonna make work for themselves will they? The consumers ain't going to produce for themselves no?
October 30, 2017 at 09:50
The entrepreneurial part of the economy is the absolute most important part (that doesn't include big business). If you cripple the entrepreneurial pa...

In fact, that's how he created jobs. By strengthening big business.

Obama made big business stronger than ever in the US. Never has big business, including big banks, been as loved and protected as under Obama. It's th...

It will benefit business, including, yes, investors. What's wrong with that? That's what the President is supposed to do.

Regulation always hits hardest on small businesses, not big businesses. In fact, regulations often protect big business and create barriers to entry t...

2014-2016 when Obama was big boss, there was almost 0% change. Right exactly. That's good. People are getting excited about doing business in America ...

Why does it suddenly go up at a faster rate ever since Trump was elected?! :-d :-}
October 30, 2017 at 09:21
Are these numbers fake? 26% growth in DJI, less than one year. By the 1 year mark, we may well see 33% or higher! GDP growth highest in last 2 years a...

Alas, I wouldn't have said anything had I not seen Wayfarer being back to his old self, spreading propaganda.

Putin is right @"Wayfarer" - people like you are being disrespectful to all the people who have elected Donald Trump, and who have legitimacy to rule ...

Hahahaha!!! Has the new check from Crooked Foundation arrived on your doorstep? You will see that Trump will be vindicated.

Yes, he only eats veggie burger.

It's not fair that you ask me to get off your foot when the only off is off the edge of the cliff - that's not very caring of you... >:O
October 29, 2017 at 22:00
I never complained about you sweetheart >:O >:O >:O
October 29, 2017 at 21:55
Yes, and here again goes your whole search for meaning... aren't you tired of all this searching for meaning and such? You've searched for it your who...

If there are laws, and they are enforced in order to stop a certain act, that doesn't mean people suddenly became moral because less commit that said ...
October 29, 2017 at 18:52
:s - what does the crime being a significant moral transgression have to do with whether it's practiced or not? She's actually quite a good speaker, a...
October 29, 2017 at 18:40
You contradict yourself. Yes, on an individual level I have no doubt. You're just looking at extremely short historical intervals, and only at one geo...
October 29, 2017 at 09:35
Yes, but that's not the biggest problem. The biggest problem is that education no longer gives you the tools necessary for independence in the economy...

But consider that scientists are not the ones that generally drive growth. Creative personalities do. Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, etc. etc. They do n...

It can, in part. But it's not the only possibility. Lust for wealth (and growth) can be driven by a desire to cause certain changes as well, so power ...

Well, the only real way to solve your depression is to find a way to make it as a musician. I think the two of them are related. Part of the problem i...

Kiss the behind of those higher than you, step on those lower than you. I've seen this as well, I hate that type of person. They are also usually the ...
October 28, 2017 at 20:23
Yeah, that is true, you would probably be looking at sacrificing at least 10-15 years if you were to try it, and there is no guarantee of success. But...
October 28, 2017 at 20:12
Yes, on average, there is no moral progress. Technological progress doesn't mean moral progress. The scientistic types seem to confuse the two of them...

No, I'm obviously referring to World War II. The job market may have sucked - relatively. But the post-war boom is undeniable and is marked by the com...

Being noticed is irrelevant. What's relevant is gaining control over the real mechanisms of power in that industry. Which in this case involves being ...

October 27, 2017 at 19:58
Well yeah, I think she's right about some of those issues. I think she must have read a different Nietzsche than I did.
