"Parental investment theory, a term coined by Robert Trivers in 1972, predicts that the sex that invests more in its offspring will be more selective when choosing a mate, and the less-investing sex will have intra-sexual competition for access to mates. This theory has been influential in explaining sex differences in sexual selection and mate preferences, throughout the animal kingdom and in humans."

Tried maybe around 5 eye-masks in my usage of them during the last 7 years and the best one that does not fall off during sleep(mostly), does not let much light in and is comfortable: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002554825105.html?spm=a2...

''The Man Without Qualities'' - Robert Musil (Der Mann ohne Eigenschaften)

If you are under 31 you can apply for a working holiday visa which grants you an availability to stay there under relatively lax circumstances but limits work to around 28 hours per week I think.

Free to enjoy life as you wish.

It could be learning mathematics, physics, playing instruments, composing, writing, walking, meditating, making films, going to museums etc. It feels like endless possibilities for me. I think having the freedom to do something that you want to do rather than contractual obligation is one of the wonders of life. It may be different for many and luckily if you live in a place where you have the freedom to choice, those who wish to work can work and some of those who have the privilege of FIRE can do so too.

Could not help but understanding the title as Reddit (adj) files (noun) to go public.

Another part of the word cynic:

For the Cynics, the purpose of life is to live in virtue, in agreement with nature. As reasoning creatures, people can gain happiness by rigorous training and by living in a way which is natural for themselves, rejecting all conventional desires for wealth, power, and fame, and even flouting conventions openly and derisively in public. Instead, they were to lead a simple life free from all possessions.

Two studies [1],[2] suggest 40% and 25% of certain violent crimes have alcohol involved.It may be difficult to know whether these crimes would have happened without alcohol anyway. Nevertheless, even a slight reduction would certainly be appreciated by the victims and society. And what about inventing other means of social grease?

If property returns around 5% per year, lending $90k for a stay would be around $4.5k per year and represent perhaps a $375 monthly apartment. Given that you are not even paying fully for the apartment, this makes it possibly even more valuable. This can be considered quite decent given that there is more or less no risk involved. An index fund may generate higher returns maybe even 7% but given the low risk the system may be generous. As an institution it may of course beg other questions if the money is well invested, if it creates a bubble etc.

Tokyo, you can find a decent apartment for around $600(cheaper alternatives exist) in the centre. Then maybe around $100 for utilities and the rest for food and entertainment(considering that you cook on your own).

Self-taught, but I have not studied that much. Working in Japan and surprised that things seem work out well despite my initial lack of knowledge. I think there are more possibilities than we imagine and sometimes we simply cannot find those possibilities or we do not know that they exist.

There are two kinds of people in this world those who think there are two kinds of people, and those who think there are not.

I would personally recommend Good Reasons for Bad Feelings By Randolph M. Nesse

The author digs into the idea that humans may have evolved to a certain extent to have good reasons for bad feelings. Several fascinating cases are cited and it made me realise how feelings can be a warning of something. Maybe a bit like when we eat too much salt or sweet then the body reacts. Emotions could work like that but perhaps in a less tangible way.

The Market for "Lemons": Quality Uncertainty and the Market Mechanism

It may be that de facto these are not requirements, but for some of us who take things at face value and feel dishonest if we apply to something that has requirements, it is not that simple. It becomes more complex when you are of deontological preferences where you may have a universal rule forbidding you to do anything that you may deem misleading or dishonest.

Although, I do not engage in judging others much, I would feel a strong disdain toward disregarding the minimum requirements because it supposes that I suppose that the other person is not 100% honest/clear in their intention and certain set of values may forbid some people in what I guess may be called ''bad faith'' i.e. presupposing that people are dishonest without having a viable reason for thinking so.

Well these are just some thoughts but I have a huge mental block in going against requirements, rules etc based upon the idea that the you presuppose that the other person is dishonest because then it would follow that one lives by the presupposition that everyone is being dishonest until otherwise.

Of course, for more utilitarian oriented people there may be more room for flexibility. However, in a pluralistic society I would value a wide array of ethics compatible in a free and fair market which respects fundamental human rights.
