It is if you know where to look. 30 years ago only the wealthiest people in the wealthiest countries could have access to a lot of information. Now all you need is to know English and having a reliable internet connection. The world is cha

If your goal is education there is no need to go to a university anymore. There really isn't even any need to attend K-12 schools. It may be better to go to formal physical schools, but it's no longer necessary. Not by a long sh

Long term the current university system is dead. I expect that some universities will exist for another hundred years, but not in it's current form. Previous decades you had to go to a university to get access to resources that simply

It's entirely possible for a wage earner to become a millionaire in the USA. Anybody with a middle class income can do it. It's not even complicated or hard to figure out. The problem is that it requires discipline and living un

Although the Soviets certainly were mass murderers before WW2 and British and USA still sided with them. Hitler was elected under the pretense that he represented socialism that was friendlier to the middle class and workers. This way peop

The reason it sold at half it's valuation is because the valuation was bullshit. It's like some guy claiming his classic car is worth 25,000 dollars. If nobody is offering 25k for it then it's not worth 25k. Period, end of s

It's ok to say that you don't really know for a fact and that you are just making assumptions. It doesn't mean you are wrong. It just means that you don't have anything backing your opinion.

If you hide something on my car to spy on me then it's not reasonable to expect it back if I find it. Charging somebody with theft for something like this is effectively rewarding the police for being incompetent. One of the worst mis

Many people in the USA observed the same thing. That's what the term 'yuppie' implied for a lot of people. All these people from the late 1960's and 1970's that spoke about dropping out or how awesome it would be jo

Even if it was serious you'd have to wait for the patent-enforced monopolies to expire before there is significant benefit to us normal people. This is one of the reasons why everybody is running around with 18650 lithium ion batteries

The same can be said of probably most disorders listed in the DSM. Mental disorder diagnostics are all 'Design by committee'. People get together and vote and they are argue and they create categorizations based on that. They do
