    Does everyone struggle to learn code?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    There are 2 types of brains, in a nutshell - brains that make "deep connections" and brains that make "wide connections." People who are capable of making "deep connections" generally find coding very easy and can more easily master technical work. I belong in this category (the most extreme...

    Time to shake things up: Universal Basic Income?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Depends on how you fund a UBI. I don't want a VAT making everything 5-10% more expensive. Andrew Yang's proposals are very foolish in this regard. I want a Land Value Tax instead, since it has zero or close to zero DWL and will discourage land for being used purely for speculative purposes...

    Commandment of Control: Instagram kills Meme accounts, teen loses income overnight

    SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING 
    Sounds like a decent biz opportunity - instead of ads, you can have members pay $5/month or something to access a bunch of pics. LOL! I know this sounds crazy but I'm sure something like this already exists and is popular. Social media is still atrocious as hell.

    Is complete passive options possible?

    The only 100% passive method I can think of is US Treasury bonds, since the US government (contrary to the whinings, moanings, and bitchings of ZeroHedge/gold bugs/gloom-and-doomers/etc.) is unlikely to default anytime soon. Yes, the US debt is getting worse, I agree on that point, but it's...

    Fastlane as a CS student. How do I maximize my time in college

    Triage ruthlessly. If some assignment is 3% of your grade and you already have a 97% in the class, and that 3% assignment is going to take at least 15 hours of your precious time, skip it entirely. Think strategically and you'll find plenty of time to free up. Time management is...

    Why only certain people "enjoy" the process? (Or is it something else?)

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    It's not something that can be rationalized. You have to go deep into the trenches and pull off a victory. That's where the reward lies.

    MJ DeMarco! You Destroyed My Life! Please HELP! Am I Losing my MIND?!!

    HOT! 
    Then consider going to the library first and finding somewhere quiet to get stuff done. Living in a van is a drastic downgrade of lifestyle. There are plenty of ways to avoid losing focus without making such a huge jump.

    MJ DeMarco! You Destroyed My Life! Please HELP! Am I Losing my MIND?!!

    HOT! 
    I don't think you should listen to idiots glorifying #vanlife. Having a roof over your head and running water at all times is not something you should pretend you can do well without. The problem in the age of social media is you have all sorts of people showing off their unorthodox lifestyles...

    Lifetime passive income: The Paycheck Pot In Action

    GOLD! HOT! INVESTING 
    While I applaud your contribution with the concept of a PP, I find it amazing how people are this financially illiterate you have to explain basic ideas like this to them. If someone asked me a question about living off of a money system, I would say... Yes, you can live off of dividends...

    20 years old, planning to quit uni and move to Thailand to work on business

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE 
    Why Thailand specifically? I'm sure there are plenty of inexpensive spots in Europe. Edit: Digital nomadism is overrated. Whenever I travel, I never get any work done. I'd rather settle in an inexpensive spot and take some vacations like normal people, but do whatever suits you. Don't fall for...

    Ever wonder how people end up in dead end jobs at 40?

    GOLD! 
    Most people are constrained by a mental barrier that is so powerful that no amount of facts and truth can break through to them. Some people would rather endure eternal, low-key torture than make difficult changes in their lives that might only last one or two years. I went the exact opposite...

    Money satisfies physiological necessities and material comfort, and not psychological needs. Abstract "goods" like purpose, meaning, moral duty, and existence (raison d'etre) cannot be purchased with money. Starving artist = no money, but most psychological needs satisfied Wall St banker = lots...

    Does your "get rich" internet guru only make $28K/yr?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    It's even cheaper than that because they don't need to lease a Lambo for an entire year. Maybe only for a week or two to do the filming...it's not like 99% of people are going to ask for verification that the Lambo in their shoddy YouTube marketing video belongs to them. Don't even need $28K.
