It doesn't take knowledge to be a politician or manager it seems. I think the idea that these fields involve some sort of "scientific knowledge" that ...
Yeah, just like that British entrepreneur, knows nothing about business, accounting, etc., but built a £22 million company. Knowledge isn't necessary ...
I listened to a Peterson video called "Reality and the Sacred", and 75% of it was decent you know, okay, until suddenly it started going on about depr...
@"TimeLine" Let me present you a British entrepreneur. Do you think for example this guy ever read a book, let alone philosophy, in his life? And yet,...
First of all I don't live in Essex, and in fact I've never lived in Essex :s - so I have little clue what you're on about. I will watch that when you ...
What's the next task you need to be doing? My next task will be to go to gym soon and be productive there, not just sit around. How's your editing bus...
Watch the last 15 seconds of it where I linked - "Vote for the one candidate who does not need this job" . Not needing what you want to get is somethi...
And I'm sure if someone could get the people here to focus on a practical problem in a business/NGO kind of setting, they'd come up with better soluti...
Sure, but people here can think better than elsewhere generally. There is help available in solving meta-philosophical issues - and on some ethical on...
No, my posts are not helpful to me, obviously. They may be helpful to others, but not to me. Some other people's posts have been helpful to me, but th...
Well, I am trying to engage you in showing you that it's not words that are ultimately relevant. If you care about life - your life first and foremost...
Not really. Rational thought and careful planning is spending time doing nothing so that every once in awhile you get a good idea about what you shoul...
That doesn't matter. Words are meaningless. Does reading my words - or any words for that matter - change one iota of your life? Not really. It's acti...
Just a story though, doesn't change anything. You still almost died, you still suffered an accident, etc. etc. Suffering is not made better because yo...
It's depressing because you're opposing it. If you stop opposing it, and just accept that our festival is the making of money, then you can join the p...
Why is it difficult to understand? :s Say the Chinese Emperor laughs at my face. I get angry and shout at him. Next second I'm dead. Has my ego benefi...
Oh, I think I understand more clearly what you mean now. Well I've tried changing people for a long time and it's frustrating and impossible, so I gav...
Yes and no - love your neighbour as yourself. You must love yourself first before you can love your neighbour. Extreme asceticism is indifference to s...
Okay, I see. In my experience, meaningful relationships also exist in some social context, which quite frequently is an economic context, unless you'r...
Oh yeah, I know those independent professions can earn a lot for one person and even a family. But consider that if you did that for awhile, you could...
If you want, you could also consider learning by yourself a trade or skill - you can get the books from a local library probably or read the basics on...
I don't know, generally it's good to be psychologically ready before doing something. At least for me. So I often take a long time before doing someth...
Only during Ancient Greece, but that's only because they had a non-capitalist economy. What you did in Ancient Greece was fight, train for Olympics, g...
Interesting. I could build a similar story, but lately, I don't feel the need. It's pointless - the gods give, and the gods take away. All else is jus...
Yeah, I keep a picture of him above my bed :-} Yes, in some respects, sure. But that doesn't mean to be blind to everything else, and refuse to listen...
