    CHECKLIST: How to Start a Digital Marketing Agency & Hit $5K in Less than 90 Days

    GOLD! MARKETING 
    This is exactly right. The upside of a saturated market is that the percentage of crap increases in proportion. When I search for 'digital marketing' and related keywords in my city, everything on the first page of Google results is crap. Paid, local biz SERPs, organic results...it's total...

    A Room Full of Opportunity (Follow up on the darn leads!)

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    This is gold right here. You can learn "how" to sell all day long by reading the books, but until you can make that leap to doing it, none of that know-how matters. I've read all the books too, and nothing beats THIS. If you can't get into a head-space where you can make that leap... whether...

    Elon Musk’s Neuralink will connect computers to your brain. Product to be released ‘in a few months'

    OFF-TOPIC 
    It's important to underscore this. Consider how many people are seduced by the thrill of "knowing stuff"... and have no comprehension of the significance of all the individual facts they've collected. The deluge of information means that facts are cheap. When you can fire up Google Scholar or...

    Big Opportunities in Alternatives to Big-Tech

    HOT! 
    I'm just thinking about the logistics of scaling a database that gets larger with every transaction, where everyone has to have a copy of it and transactions are permanently encoded in the unalterable blockchain. This mostly makes sense for what a cryptocurrency is meant to do (part of the...

    Big Opportunities in Alternatives to Big-Tech

    HOT! 
    Granted I'm not always the most up to date on these technologies, but I find myself scratching my head about what exactly Ethereum and co. are supposed to do here. What's the advantage of using cryptotech over the usual protocol layers and existing database/web tech? If the idea is to encrypt...

    SLOWLANE RANT 
    Funny story. I've lived outside the US for over a decade. I didn't realize until I moved that the US is one of only two countries in the world that still tax their citizens no matter where they live.* There's an income exemption of somewhere in the ballpark of $90-100K, so you if you're just...

    Cryptocurrency a scam?

    HOT! CRYPTO INVESTING 
    This thread looks to have become one of those train-wrecks of ego that are becoming par for the course around here lately, so I haven't read most of the posts. Must be a full moon or something. Instead, here's an interesting book on Bitcoin I just finished a few days ago...

    What's the difference between Slackers and Go Getters? The answer may have to do w/ brain chemistry.

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Show me one that has demonstrated a genuinely new fact about human behavior that wasn't already known to people before 1900. EDIT: You know what? Don't worry about it. I think this has run its course... you really just want to have a thread about nootropics and "biohacking", which is really...

    Let's think about this for a minute. Don't get mad, stop and breathe. I'm serious. I'm not attacking you here. Why do you immediately assume I am? Do you think this kind of response is contributing anything to the positive environment you accused me of not creating? Did you think this through...

    Oh you've misunderstood me, I'm not saying anything is wrong. What you (everyone reading this) ought to be more concerned about is the laziness of the attitude. The belief that you can assemble a serious and in-depth understanding of a complicated topic without putting in real work. I'm...

    Chris I may have given you the wrong impression here. I'm not trying to have an argument with you. I don't mean to be rude, but that kind of argument wouldn't be too far off arguing with my three year old daughter about which letter comes first in the alphabet. She's not totally clueless, but...

    Nassim Taleb doesn't get mention very much around here even though he's got a good bead on this kind of wrinkle. Selection bias makes it real easy to look at the top performers... the winners of the day... as if they got there only through personal talents of hard work, ingenuity, and creating...

    And what if I didn't? What if I knew I felt like crap and got up and got it done anyway? (This experiment is much easier to do with alcohol, when we call it being able to work with a hangover.) Neurochemistry plays a part in but does not by itself determine complex human behaviors.

    You're free to disagree. I'm not particularly worried about any opinions on the topic. Maybe you've had different experiences from me, but I've never seen or heard about a rat or a dog giving a speech, asking a question, writing a book, creating a computer, doing the logic and mathematics...

    Chris I'm not sure you really got the problem. That's probably my fault, since this is complicated stuff and I'm not always the best at explaining it. I'm not saying that dopamine plays no role in human behavior. I'm suggesting two things: 1. That neuroscience in general is presently in no...
