My friend's dad is a Knight of Malta. I think he helps to build hospitals and assists with pilgrimages to Lourdes. There is some recent controversy surrounding Malta in the Catholic world. To dive into that rabbit hole: https:/&#

And in a fun twist, what you mention is 99% of the reason for 99% of degree requirements on a position (yes, some positions truly do require years of specific background education) -- it's the best evidence a company has on an inexperi

This perspective on the bible and Latin is not a good analogy. Most people could not read any language long ago, and priests in general serve several other purposes before reading/expounding upon the bible. From the standpoint of a b

I am probably even less worthy of offering a summary of the book than you are, but I'll take a stab as well. The author is interested in how meaning can arise from meaningless components. For example, any one cell in the brain doesn&#x

I'm sorry, is your argument based on the current year? I presume you mean otherwise, but that's how it's written.

As an aside, I don't think "the most predatory thing" about student loans is the fixed cost regardless of profit. The same could be said of any business or real estate loan. The most predatory thing about student loans is tha

One way of thinking about EQ includes self-awareness and self-management as components of your overall EQ (which may also include understanding others, for example). So, being aware of this is good. Being aware that you are causing the issu

Sorry for the late reply, but most resources I know about would get more specific about particular morality of the religion. If that's what you're looking for, you should get plenty of results searching for "Catholic examinat

In Catholicism (and probably in some other religions), there is a practice of an "examination of conscience." It has helped me to make improvements of the kind you refer to. Basically, the essence is to take 5 minutes at the very

I don't intend to mock you -- I am sure there is much more relevant context to your life decisions, and they're your own, anyway. However, I have observed friends seemingly get caught in a pattern: go to a top school, so you can h

A friend was talking to a young girl in a school in WV. Friend: What would you like to do when you grow up? Girl: I wanna draw, like my daddy. Friend: Wonderful, is your daddy an artist? Girl: Naw, he draws a check every month.

I appreciate your call to take a cause seriously by making changes in one's personal life. That said, every time I read someone advise "stop having babies" to combat climate change, I am reminded of the South Park episode whe

I think the "second military" you describe is more of a "minimal readiness for SHTF situation" group. Because no politician wants to go down in history books as the person who let the military shrink and lose readiness f

I think you may have raised a good point - was this the appropriate forum/channel/whatever to offer his observations, questions, and criticisms? He suggests that Google has a culture of sharing pretty openly and of offering critic

I did ctrl-f for "iq" at diversitymemo.com and only came up with a reference to a comparison Damore made about types of scientific evidence the left or right tend to ignore. The comment in question was not referring to IQ of males

Serious: do you see that your response is exactly what the memo was about? He's claiming that the pre-judgment that the topic is toxic is harmful. To argue against him by re-asserting that which he questions will not be persuasive.

So there's no need to evaluate the argument, only to parse for key signals in the rhetoric? Thanks for saving me time in my future critical reading!

I don't think this is intended as a dig on YC-funded companies, but it would work very well as such.

Thanks for the response. I disagree with Rand on many important issues. I think your reply is tantamount to an ad hominem fallacy.

Thanks for the response. I use Google fairly heavily through work and my personal email, but IDK about "fully sucked into" - I have no smartphone, don't use GCal, etc. Rather than lauding Google, I meant to criticize the idea

I think your balance (incorporating a deeper mode of thought and appreciation of memorization without abandoning modern information processing) is unusual and extremely admirable. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Hi - I am certainly a novice (or lower) programmer, but I have not even a clue about how to begin in the manner you describe. Any preview you would like to offer?
