You are definitely on the right track. The so-called "problems" in philosophy are not problems at all, instead, they are misinterpretations and misund...
I thought it was a pretty good rant. :) I would have had fun with it! You've got to get over the Trump thing and move on. Look how lame Hillary has be...
Most people died before they were 40. Oh really. Are you going to make beautiful people average looking? Are you going to make really intelligent peop...
High taxes kill motivation, innovation, and lastly, economies. You want money in the hands of private people, NOT the government (who can only make th...
Life was really difficult for everybody, not just the working class. But there will ALWAYS be people who are better off. No such thing as equality. No...
That was caused by an incredibly strong dollar and the rest of the world in shambles (post WWII). The U.S. made just about everything for the world. T...
The first thing that needs to happen is to return to an actual debate on things that are real. The Democrats are successfully using their racist narra...
An inefficient economy will eventually produce no profit and things will spiral down and out of control as happens every time some dufus attempts to i...
It is what it is, but just the same, the less economic distortions, the better. This is why the main emphasis of everything going on in this country s...
In economics, efficiency is EVERYTHING. It's what drives the entire system. The more efficient, the more productive. The more productive, the more pro...
You have to let the market determine what the correct wage should be. The more distortions you introduce into the economy, the less efficient it becom...
"All speech is lying." Where it is true, it is also false (because there is an equal amount of everything in everything). So whereas you might believe...
You lead by example. I know that Americans don't seem to like to do much of anything anymore (except eat and watch TV/stare at digital devices), but t...
I do everything I can do myself for a lot of different reasons, primary among them is that I enjoy learning and doing things. I take care of my home, ...
No, I did an incredible amount of work when I was young. I do a great deal now, as well, but have learned how to do it more efficiently. I would think...
Well, I am 66 and plan on working for 20 more years if I am able. I am in excellent health and superb physical condition and do everything I did when ...
Back in the 60's, we thought everybody over 30 was worthless. At least you have extended it to 50. When you do turn 50, get back to me and let's see i...
Yes it is. Unfortunately, most people freak-out when you suggest this, but to come to terms with this idea is the most intellectually liberating thing...
There's "dire" and then there's "world war dire." If you look at what's happened to the majority of people in the U.S. over the past 50 years, I would...
You've got to be kidding. You went to school, right? The stuff that kids say and do to others kids in and out of school is absolutely brutal. As anecd...
Younger people ALWAYS believe they are living through the most prescient times in the history of mankind, but consider the following... Look at the br...
I don't discount the value of introspection, but actual doing is the way. How do you believe your ideas of what is real can compete with what is actua...
Nobody has any longing for that aspect of history and certainly things have improved. 20% of AAs are doing pretty well now but it is up to the AA's co...
Baby boomers just wanted to (in theory) live purer, more balanced lives, whereas BLM is a political movement (which is always a power/money grab). God...
You might think that in light of what's going on in this country that there would be more than just a couple of people with enough courage to stand-up...
The problem is corruption. I am 66 and the amount I know now as compared as what I knew at thirty is incalculable (both personally and professionally)...
You must admit, our generation (baby boomers) have been a complete disaster. Starting out as the philosophical idealists and ending up completely corr...
You might wish to consider the following... There are three ways to learn. Real learning is through direct experience. Next is learning from somebody ...
I don't take what anybody says personally. I am just here to chat with interesting folks, particularly ones that have VERY different opinions from me....
You don't believe there is self-censorship going-on now? Or that it was the worst part of The Cultural Revolution (being a precursor to what would fol...
Well stated. I am convinced that even in the slave days, there were a certain percentage who believed they deserved their position. Individualism (the...
The point of this thread (until it was hijacked by my friend, Magma-tron :) was that the entire woke enterprise is really bad-news (which goes against...
Provocative? These woke people are complete morons by any yardstick. I am just trying to figure out how anybody could believe this non-sense. I just r...
Essentially, it gets in the way of groups whose express purpose is controlling individuals. The individual v. the collective is an 80mph fast ball com...
What's interesting about this is that whereas it is quite easy to see how mathematics (at its extremes) makes no sense, everything else knowable is EX...
Is that the big building where the big kids go to school? :) My friend, just because it doesn't happen to make sense to you doesn't mean that you shou...
