    Creating a productocracy (Snickers)

    Apologies for resurrecting an old thread but after years of lurking and action-faking, I think I have arrived at an idea. I will start to manufacture and sell curd snacks in Scandinavia, because it's very popular in Eastern Europe. I got this idea when I realized that lots of Ukrainians have...

    Are 20-40 Years Old More Lonely Than Ever?

    NOTABLE! HOT! PEOPLE 
    Sweden is worse. The Social Democrats tried (and to a large degree succeeded) to replace the family unit with the state during their long post-WWII reign. Nowadays, people will simply outsource their family issues to the state, with parents willingly giving up custody to institutionalize their...

    That doesn't help. I've done that for more than 10 years. At best, you'll be productive but still as hollow inside until you hit another wall. What actually helps is developing drive and ambition. That is way easier said than done, though.

    I've come up with an incredible idea, but don't have the skills to execute it (yet!)

    QUESTION 
    Why not look for potential partners at colleges? College kids are usually eager to do anything that fills out their resume.

    WINTER IS COMING: European Winter of '22

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    Obviously not, but economic instability directly led to stressed out parents fighting over finances and often divorcing. I think more than half my friends have divorced parents. My parents divorced when I was like six months old (one month after 9/11). My father got full custody, and around '09...

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    I was born in 2001. My generation has experienced three economic disasters (the dot com crash, the real estate crash, and the C0VlD-19/Russia-Ukraine recession). We've also experienced a number of pandemics (e.g. bird flu, swine flu, Zika, and C0VlD-19, though only one changed our lives...

    Is reading pirated books ethical?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    No, it's like sneaking into a club that has an entrance fee. The question is whether you can live with yourself after the fact. I pirated MJ's books, but then I bought copies as gifts for people in my vicinity.

    How many of you play video games?

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    I own 2000+ games (most of which are crappy indie games), but now I play less than 5h/week, because I simply have more entertaining hobbies. Namely, I go outside and play basketball, which feels way more rewarding, as I get to build physical skills and my physique rather than my gaming skills...

    I traded rare pokémon (shinies, legendaries, etc.) when I was like ten. Although, nobody had any money back then, so I usually just accepted IOUs.

    'The Script' is basically The Labor Theory of Value of Adam Smith and David Ricardo..

    MINDSET 
    The assumption that a theory needs to be prescriptive to be scientific is false. A scientific theory can be descriptive (such as the laws of physics), yet we may encounter contrarian phenomena where the law or theory does not apply (such as the laws of thermodynamics in the event horizons of...

    'The Script' is basically The Labor Theory of Value of Adam Smith and David Ricardo..

    MINDSET 
    I'm interested in your theory, but I question the conclusion that Austrian economics is unscientific. For something to be scientific, it needs to be observable and reproducible. Is it not possible for independent observers to recognize market demands in a reproducible manner? Additionally, I...

    Congratulations! You mention that you're considering mentoring entrepreneurs who are starting out. Have you considered writing books or holding (non-scam) seminars?

    What do you think this implies for people in their early 20s who are forced to live with their parents, live with roommates, couch-surf, or live in their cars due to the insane house prices (compared to salaries) right now?
