The environment we're in affects us a lot. As young kids, very few consciously choose to pursue social situations, as our minds are not that developed. A lot of it happens due to our life situation.. ie we live near a park, we live near lot

I agree. I remember the day when you could drop by a friend's house to chill w/o calling beforehand, or sending a text message or IM. or the days when you could just drop by the park and have a good chance of meeting a couple of buddies the

What is the root cause of this problem though? Is it just a natural result of overpopulation + our natural tendency to be selfish? is it overpopulation + the need to give up individual needs to support the whole? is it the natural result of

Saving energy doesn't instill a sense of achievement. Nobody has a bucket list with an item that says "Save as much energy as I can". It just doesn't inspire anyone. Sorry if that's your startup idea.

Yep, that's the point. People who use gamification for things like green living and saving energy, or advertising, or redeeming rewards, etc are missing the point. There's nothing to freaking gamify. Nobody feels any sense of achievement fr

Nothing wrong, just that you're going to have difficulty finding advertisers that will agree to this type of advertising. You're not in any way solving the problem of finding relevant audiences for their ads. You're just throwing an incenti

Isn't this just a fancy derivative of "fill this form out and we'll send you a free iPod?". Because that's all it is.. If you tell me people want achievements, well.. Achievements in games feel good because there's actual skill involved, an

I like the point about how being in covers of tech blogs doesn't mean much. It's all mostly noise, and if one did a study, I bet they'd find the failure rate of startups covered by tech blogs to be around the same as the overall failure rat

The true cost of commuting is actually the stress that piles on you, bit by bit.. it can contribute to divorce, physical disease, high blood pressure, loneliness, etc. Just ask anyone that has to ride their car into NYC traffic, or even tak

Exercise is important, but I find the effects are way more beneficial when you do it early in morning as opposed to evening. It disrupts my sleep if I exercise too late

Yes, this freaks me out too, and makes the vast majority of humans insane for not taking care of their health... all the more reason to be vigilant, not complacent.

I don't know about his diet, but I do know it's virtually impossible to have healthy lifestyle with the responsibilities he has. He might have needed Apple, but there is a chance he put his body over the limit and ignored symptoms

I think the stress and pressure of running a company also may have contributed to Job's health. He may have had pancreatic problems nonetheless, but the stress, lack of sleep, eating fast food at his desk, etc couldn't have been beneficial.

I agree. We all like to say "Life is short, we have to live it to the fullest" but do our actions really reflect that? Some of us have the ability to do more, yet are complacent and happy with the status quo. Others are not in any situation

They just want the world to be filled with a billion less people, first starting with people who are useless to society such as anyone associated with Wall Street. Of course, none of them will say this, and none of them know they want this,

I work in Wall Street, and funny thing is I haven't seen a sign of 1 protestor. Maybe I'm in a very small radius, but still, it's very overwhelming. They need someone like Lady Gaga if they want more traction. They should probably consult w

A society with so many ppl that rely so much on alcohol is just a symptom of even bigger problem. Give people a sense of purpose, or better community ties, and the need for "drugs" decreases
