jsanromanon Facebook is Getting Old

The Problem with Facebook right now, at least for me is that it is getting very boring. Nothing seems happens on it. Only very few posts appear and I think it is because they only show you your "closest friends" or people you have stalked etc or I don't know what parameters they use. Even if I sort by "more recent" only very few posts appear. I have over 950 friends. I used to wake up in the morning and login into facebook just to see what my FB friends did over the night or what happened with my friends in other continents. Now it takes me 5 minutes to be up to date. Besides, everytime I login I have to read again the same old posts (Even from the they day before). I don't know why facebook judges that I have too see that same post again and again everytime I login. WTF Facebook.

jsanromanon The Secret To Living A Happier And More Fulfilled Life

I agree that gratitude is the secret to happiness; however, I think that if we are all happy and grateful there will be no progress in the world. Economical progress happens because a lot of people work hard to become rich/famous/powerful or because they are trying to fill expectations or are trying to make an example to those they love or to rub it in the face of those who don't believe in them. Surely when they finally reach the top they realize that they are still not happy. The world progress economically but maybe not humanly.

So I think we need to have people that believe that happiness is in gratitude, people that believe that happiness is in producing more and people that believe that happiness is in given other people opportunities.

Great article great tips except for the last paragraph haha. I think the article should have omitted that last one. It feels like it ruins everything, like all the learning of the article gone to waste LOL. Feels like I'm learning from an asshole. But then you think: well we should all learn from each other, but only learn the good things, not the bad ones. No one's perfect.

jsanromanon Inequality and the world economy: True Progressivism

"Social mobility in America, contrary to conventional wisdom, is lower than in most European countries." I guess that for tech entrepreneurs that's not true, but for the rest of the economy it is.
