    How to help society's mindset

    PEOPLE 
    They exist. They're not very exciting. It just becomes more of the same. Need some sort of story line and drama. Otherwise you feel like a robot. That said, maybe you'd like Rise of Industry? It was fun for about 4 hours. I really enjoyed Tropico 4 earlier this year. Economy + Dictatorship = Fun

    MINDSET 
    I don't think about it. I have my to do list. I work on it. I don't need to justify why I should or shouldn't do it, and I don't give myself a chance to. I just do what's on the list that I made the night before. I do not sleep until I finish my 'one thing to do' daily. I have my vision in...

    How to help society's mindset

    PEOPLE 
    Media serves as an escape. However, the narratives still shape the culture as well as reflect the culture. It's like how people see the event but not the process. They don't want to hear that it's hard work. They don't want to hear about the failures, the pain. To me the root of it all is why...

    Write your vision down. Envision it daily, if not more than once daily. Humans are excellent at forgetting. So remind yourself. At least daily.

    Does Business Really Boil Down to Product + Marketing?

    MARKETING MINDSET 
    You're 1 step ahead of yourself. A business boils down to solving a NEED. Then it's all about product and marketing for to solve or help that need. If there's no strong need that you're solving with your product, the marketing will just help you kill it more quickly. Imagine you create a new...

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Why isn't being worried about your next meal a good ground to work on your development? To me it gives a great reason to focus on development! UBI requires a change in thinking. If people don't see the value in contributing much if at all, in doing more than consuming for good feelings, then...

    What is happiness?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Just as the title asks. What is happiness? I ask, inspired by the thread about never meeting a happy millionaire, as in my experience this fundamental question is typically met with many different answers. I'm interested to see not only your answers, but to see if there is a common theme...

    Yes it is sustainable. It is grounded in reality. The fact that you're alive. And truly, what is a greater reality than that, that each of us can be absolutely sure about?

    You can unhinge happiness from knowledge, from circumstances, from almost everything. You can be happy just to be alive. Happiness does not require freedom. Happiness does not require absence of pain. Happiness does not require pleasure. Happiness does not require meaning. Happiness does not...

    I've met people in poor developing countries that lived off of $2000 or less a year and were quite happy. Made me rethink my entire perspective. This dude who has nothing with basically no opportunity is utterly happy, while I was utterly depressed at the time while living the cushy life with...
