RE: Your IQ doesn't matter: If you want to know how the world works you got to take in new information
I’d say you are correct. But do you know why? Let’s see if I can push you out of your comfort zone and get you to think about this: We don’t own our beliefs, they own us. This turns everything we believe

RE: Reciprocity and how to treat foreigners
I couldn’t agree more. I think the xenophobic behavior is the result of certain “news” organizations propagating the belief that all our problems are caused by immigrants. Those not like us that come across

RE: At the end of Greed
There is so much grist for the mill here, I don’t know where to start. Millions of years of evolution have wired us to want more for the genetic, propagation of our species reasons. But I think there is

RE: Self-governance and self-control: Re-chipping the mind
Our brains are the product of millions of years of evolution. Eating sweets and carbs was a good idea from our gene’s point of view, that is until we were able to create unlimited supplies. Now it's a

RE: Winning is everything
Exactly. We see it in today’s politics. Win at any cost including the country’s. People will protect and defend the most absurd and dangerous behavior just because he’s “our guy.” Tribalism 'trumps' reason.

RE: Winning is everything
I used to play tennis with a professional volleyball player. We were pretty evenly matched in tennis but one day I had quite a lead on him and I felt bad so I let up. Big mistake. He read me the riot act

RE: Time is on our side
That’s a good point. How about a Universal Basic Income until we all become creative? With automation and AI taking so many jobs what else can people do? Until then my retirement plan revolves around upvoting

I think @tarazkp is just voicing his concern about the uncertainty of the future rather than his pessimism. Anyone who knows a little history should be concerned because they know how tenuous our freedoms
