With every mistake, we must surely be learning... still my guitar gently weeps. - George Harrison
There are no easy answers to the problems that we face, history's a lesson, let us learn by our mistakes. - Kurt Brecht
Your company succeeds, you hire a bunch of people, they hire a bunch of people, and soon you spend most of your time "doing company stuff" and very little doing what made you great. You do not notice for awhile, but then your competition finally get good. The only way out of the spin is to fire everyone but the highly useful and make competitive products. The market has changed and Intel got fat and lazy cranking up marginal improvements in desktop chips but now people want less medium iron and more light cheap gadgets. Intel must adapt or die. It is natural selection.
I know drugs are bad (m'kay) and many of you have known people who have self-destructed with drugs.
However, criminalization clearly is not working, and legalization failed to get rid of the illegal drugs trade because when you tax stuff like a politician, you make it more expensive than what the free market offers.
Yes, I know you want to get off this rock and in the long term, that is a necessary goal for not just humans but other species that humans want to preserve. You want a universe that always has cats and hummingbirds.
But in the meantime, humanity is near the tipping of The Ecocide, which is the displacement of the complexity of life on Earth (biodiversity + internal variation) by human overpopulation and urbanization.
1. It's foreign. This should be enough. It is from a half-Arabic people in the middle east.
2. It's dualistic. Symbolic Heaven plays by different rules than Earth, causing people to reject reality. This is schizophrenia.
3. It's exoteric. The idea that normal people can understand religion forces a constant dumbing down.
4. It's universalist. It rejects hierarchy, except from the church of course.
Trying to see if I can find spores online. Then gotta grow morning glories, which I haven't touched since reading the Anarchist's Cookbook years ago.
Diversity -- the presence of multiple ethnic groups in a nation -- does not work, which means it can never achieve the function it was intended for.
Even worse, it destroys those nations by erasing culture, allowing bureaucracy and commerce to take over.
Eventually, diversity leads to conflict between these ethnic groups through passive-aggressive means.
These apps are all abysmal and seem to have learned 0.00% from the last fifty years of software development.
Even worse, most of the movies/television is just bad, stupid, or what I think kills most of it, basically near-clones of similar stories.
I opted for a middle path, which was to watch Forensic Files when I needed a quick break but otherwise, touch grass. Go outside. Take a walk. Make a boat out of scrap lumber. Read a book. Write some code for fun. Set up a Raspberry Pi to automatically upload ambisexual midget porn to Twitter. Listen to the standouts from jazz and classical (I ended up going in for Bach). Talk to your family members. Go to Walmart and meet the average voter (spoiler: most of them are rather nice).
Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. -- Albert Einstein
