Which rule did I break? I didn't see clearly

So are you a woman then?

From that perspective, you are probably right.

And there are political parties that will claim to help the poor and somehow the poor get poorer while the rich get richer.

Let's just stop pretending one is better than the other so we can focus on what is important.

All governments will expand the role of government. Can you find me one that has ever decreased its scope in a meaningful and permanent way?

The point there being that the bank is the middleman not the government. Maybe the same thing given how incestuous things are sometimes.

Men are only allowed to cry after they have proven themselves. For the most part this takes years.

If this is true this is the best explanation of wind chill I have ever heard.

Same. If it wasn't clear I wasn't saying it's a bad thing just that people should understand being open solely in the context of beneficial pr.

Women have the sacred responsibly to bring children to life. The least men can do is be reliable and handle their emotions.

You didn't say you're a woman either and you write like a man.

We don't have to give birth. Being self reliant is thus our cross to bear.

In my opinion, you are interpreting it incorrectly.

Look from their perspective.

"My man is so smart, competent and emotionally stable. I can rely on him for anything!"

"Oh no he's crying, does this mean our family won't survive? What do I do?"

It's not anything more complicated than that. Women can probably chime in to tell me if I'm right or wrong, but this is a human perspective, because children will feel the same way if the father cries.

It wasn't a ruse. People genuinely liked the app BUT he had a manufactured pr push. It wasn't organic.

Very sparse. You'll have to piece it together through interviews he gave around that time. His opsec is good but not good enough.

OK

No, I was just obsessed with how he did it, so I swallowed every piece of info I could've until it was clear. It was manufactured, which is the best approach.

Peldi (Balsamiq) did this well, but in reality it was all pretend. He pretended like had this massive groundswell of people who loved his app but it was an incredibly well-executed PR campaign and he deserves mad props for it. He didn't make it clear at the time, but eventually it came out. Of course, people did love his app but he engineered that incredibly well.

So if being open makes sense for PR, do it, but learn from people who have done it successfully.

I guess given that you don't want to play the game, I should have known.

"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it."

This is how I exercise that skill. I listen to science, sociology, religion, conspiracy theories, relationship dynamics, etc.

Sometimes, I pick up something. Most of the time I'm allowing the ideas to float around in my head.

It helps a lot to practice this skill, because I trade for a living and I need to be able to convince myself that I am wrong about something all the time.

You are right, I am equating age with being inflexible and as an old man myself, I have to fight to retain my flexibility in all respects.

So, replace "old" with "inflexible" and you get the gist.

In general, "old" people are inflexible, but we professionals are lucky that we don't have to be in a field that is always expanding.

Do you really go through life thinking of reasons why you shouldn't do a thing?

How about "if X did it, I can too." Which way would you prefer to live?

YouTube is the best invention in modern history. While working I can passively listen to thousands of ideas in a year often curated by my interests automatically.

We don't teach people how to use these things well but we should.

If you did not buy Tesla at the absolute bottom in 2000-whatever, could you still have been a multi-millionaire?

So why do you need to "be first"?

No, stop being old. Age is no indication of wisdom.

Stop guys, stop.

Be young in your mind. Be young.

How are young people interpreting this?

"Oh wow, I can get it to write or help edit essays"

"I can use it as something to bounce ideas off of"

"I can use it to take ideas from my head into the digital realm."

Stop being old people.

Hey you're right

LGBTQ stuff is pretty mainstream now, in the sense that it is an omnipresent "other" though 20 years ago, it definitely wasn't.

I'd say today's counter culture is people eschewing corporate life, sort of like it was before corporate culture took over.

You liked hacking, computer hacking is more or less a solved problem.

People are very interesting, consider them.

There are decades where nothing happens and there are weeks where decades happen.

That's the idea. When bad happens, it is uncontrolled. Eventually, bad will happen and no attempt to control it will succeed. But sure, until then, you are right. And there is nothing anyone can really do to prepare except have a "go bag" and have assets and residence in multiple countries.
