GENIUS FORUMS

If you are unhappy in an 'ultimate' sense with the world, the cosmos, with your biological life here, and if you see the culprits as society, or your parents, or the social system, then you have essentially two choices: one, accept it as it is or two, work toward some sort of change that better sui...

It seems you have started from an incorrect presupposition. At the base of this faulty presupposition is a core idea, and this core idea is utterly false: you assume you are free, and you assume you have a 'right' to freedom. Therefore, you can specifiy and argue for all those 'conditions' you wish...

There's of course generally respect for people putting their hours into something "useful" although nobody likes to discuss what makes something really useful and on which terms. Personally I've found the whole ethics of Utilitarianism to be one big swamp. Since it's so hard to predict wh...

By your standards, I am a millionaire but far, far away from entertaining the thought of becoming a billionaire. The dollar has lost 98% of its purchasing power in...

I did visit the whywork forum and I tried to sign up until I realized it was fruitless but I remember reading your posts there :) If you say they...

I am not really good at expressing my inner thoughts, but this will do for now. No, no, I won't hear of it! An excellent display of self-pity. You know what I find confusing sometimes? That despite the truth of what anyone is saying, if any of that truth is permeated with traces of "self-pity&...

Uniden has a really good thread going regarding unemployment a couple of years ago that can be consummated with his own article: I read the original thread, but I found distasteful that some aspects weren't expanded upon as they should have.
