    And that's the point. If you're the smartest guy in the room, you're in the wrong room. Learning from your "elders" is the greatest favor you'd be doing to yourself.

    NO! We're the best generation and I demand you give me money! I haven't sold you anything, but I deserve money.

    There's your problem. Most Millennials don't even want to be associated with their generation, b/c everyone is constantly shitting on them. Especially those trying to be successful. Also, what's your 5-10 year plan, when Gen Z comes up? You're alienating a huge market. Millennials are in their...

    I think we can agree on patterns, but we're still discovering mathematical concepts, and AI is still in its infancy. Given enough time, I think we can get close to modeling individual behavior, at the very least. James Harris Simons - Wikipedia

    I touched upon this in the simulation thread. Do we have freewill. I'm cautiously saying we don't. As individuals, it may be debatable. As a group? Patterns easily emerge: https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~neill/papers/mlss2012.pdf

    It's a conspiracy man. Your brain doesn't want you to know what it's up to. I say that jokingly, but after actually writing it, there's some truth in that. The brain doesn't want you to think. It doesn't want you to think outside the box, to exert effort. That takes energy, and you should be...

    Not sure how to reword that. Feel free to interpret it as you see fit. Things like triggers that cause you to go back to the old way, and waning motivation/drive. This is GOLD

    Do you have health insurance?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    As bad as it may seem, the other side of the coin is excellent R&D. 9 out of the top 10 hospitals in the world are in the US. The other in France. Most biomedical research papers come from the US by a long shot. Are companies making insane profits? You bet. It's a $3T market and they're...

    It adds up. Car, renters, general liability. But I see your point. I need to consider risk/reward scenarios more seriously. Especially going forward building something for myself, and maybe to pass on one day. Where I got caught up was being convinced insurance is a scam. Until you need it...

    It was uncomfortable getting off of it the first couple of months. Every little ache and pain wondering if it was something serious. Then it fades away since you're conditioned to believe you'll be ruined if you don't have it. There may be some truth in that. I heave a healthy stash accruing...

    I stand corrected: Update on Taking Tesla Private He's been in talks with the Saudis for the past 2 years to take it private. That $290 support looks tempting. Speculation: I think he's pushing this b/c he promised Q3/4 profitability, but won't make it.

    Becker On Shark Tank

    I don't disagree with what he's saying, although it's a bit of a straw man, imo. But the show still serves a purpose. The kinds of people that go on there, would still work in their business rather than on it. They'd be their own employees. Shark Tank gives a few owners an outlet to make it...

    I'm grossly oversimplifying everything. We can't account of 90%+ of all matter, so moot point. I have also seen people saying we actually live in a net positive universe, thought I'll admit I haven't dove too deeply there. Technically an expansion, not explosion.

    Basically yes. We are the way the universe understands itself. If you compare the kind of atoms we are made of, to the rest of the universe, we match. I cant find the exact numbers right now, but for example. The % of Carbon we observe in the universe, is the same % that comprises our bodies...
