    What would you tell your 18 or 25 year old self?

    Thanks, although I wouldn't be on a forum for entrepreneurship if I was completely happy with my path in life.

    By the time I was 25, I had received my Master's Degree in Computer Science, and working at a job that paid 30,000 for testing. If I had the opportunity to redo that period in my life, I would go to Stanford for the Symbolic Systems degree (which is incredibly interesting), and minored in...

    Preserving Wealth, My #1 Tip. Don't Get Married! (Or Maybe You Should?)

    NOTABLE! 
    I didn't indicate that this thread is done, where did you get that idea? I am simply saying to avoid getting married because of divorce and the potential impact to your assets doesn't make follow. It means you need to make sure you choose a good spouse and that you work at your marriage...

    Preserving Wealth, My #1 Tip. Don't Get Married! (Or Maybe You Should?)

    NOTABLE! 
    I am perfectly ok with people who don't want to get married or have children. I just don't agree with the concept of a "committed long-term relationship" for an unmarried couple. Marriage is literally commitment. If you don't want to get married, that has literally no impact on my marriage. (I...

    Preserving Wealth, My #1 Tip. Don't Get Married! (Or Maybe You Should?)

    NOTABLE! 
    I live in New York State; my wife and I can file a no-fault divorce and walk away. How many divorce proceedings are marked with "irreconcilable differences?" I remember Brittney Spears and Kim Kardashian's marriages.

    Yes, we're getting away from longevity and into the "brain in a vat" and "the universe is a simulation" theories. Fascinating stuff, but definitely subjective and rabbit holes.

    Preserving Wealth, My #1 Tip. Don't Get Married! (Or Maybe You Should?)

    NOTABLE! 
    Simple: commitment. Being married shows you what real commitment is and helps you leave about who you are and who you are not. The concept of being in a committed relationship outside of marriage is impossible. At any moment, the two of you can part ways like nothing happens. Marriage changes...

    Perspective and experience. You upload your conscious and then go on with your life. Is your awareness now in both your body AND the computer? When your body dies, does your perspective change back to the computer? Do you watch yourself die without interruption to your consciousness?

    This in so many ways. People seem to think our consciousness is like an operating system (Windows, Linux, OSX, etc), that it's just a piece of software running on hardware. In theory, we can take that software and place it in a virtual environment and it will work the same. The reality is our...

    How long did it take you to bench press 225?

    HEALTH 
    Unless, of course, that strong little guy is a student of aikido, jujitsu, or karate, in which case it becomes (your) MASS kicks (your) a$$. As for me, I'm still working my way there. I deadlift, squat, pullus, and chest dips.

    Idea Extraction Targets

    IDEA 
    Also, "idea extraction targets" is the wrong mindset. You are trying to find people you can provide value to. The former is an emphasis on you, the latter is an emphasis on them.

    Dane Maxwell strikes again! Remember, if someone is selling you something on how to make a business, guess what their business is? ;) If you listen to his story about how he made his first business, you need to keep in mind the fact that he had an existing relationship with the customer, that...

    Having trouble getting out of bed in the morning?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Thanks! :) Something to keep is that as an aspiring entrepreneur, any kind of personal opinions on a product are not very useful, because they reflect your viewpoint, and not the market's viewpoint. It's good to train yourself to avoid listening to those thoughts and rather focus on how well a...

    "1. For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem. From Windows or Mac, this FTP account could be accessed through built-in software." - BrandomM on...

    The second section of How To Win Friends and Influence People is entitled, "Six Ways to Make People Like You". The very first chapter is summarized as, "Become genuinely interested in other people." The example Carnegie gave (it's been a while) was that he was at a party, and he noticed a...

    The bold part is a realization I had. Learning to write sales copy will teach you how to market, which is something any entrepreneur will need to do. It will also teach you a valuable skill, if you have nothing.
