Its true in a game-theoretic sense, but I'm actually talking about being honest (and rational) with yourself and what you're able to contribute. There's many other factors that have been mentioned by other people here.

And once the Orient and Decide part is augmented, then we'll be limited by social networks (IRL ones). Every solo founder/small biz will have to compete more and more for marketing eyeballs, and the ones who have access to bigger engines (companies), they'll get the juice they need, and we come back to humans being the bottlenecks again.

That is, until we mutually decide on removing our agency from the loop entirely . And then what?

Hmm, if it were me, I would have asked how his 80% share would have made my 20% a good investment [than all the other options].

It's all about what each of you are bring to the table. It's possible he priced the tech side perfectly AND being the best option available to make you better off.

>For those who are unfamiliar with how career progress works in Academia, it is so competitive that even a year or two "break" in your career likely means you are forever unable to get a job.

Honest question. If the job market is that competitive, why are we guiding people down this path that requires investing their entire young adult life? To me, it seems you've inadvertently made a case for cutting funding.

Since climate change is a very popular topic, so popular that a person's belief or non belief in it will cause people on the other side to strike them down without hesitation... There's power, community, and social acceptance to drive people.

The downvotes to the above comment's parent comment prove my point.

The reincarnation bit interests me. I've had a notion that reincarnation is the process of birthing. A child is going to inherent their parents DNA, genes, environment, and situation. Whatever pain the parents are burdened with will be passed on to their child, and so on and on and on. We are [adaptable] copies of our parents.

Im self aware enough to observe the traits I picked up from my parents. I've thought about all the suffering I've been through. If I dont have children, I can be the end of the thread. I can stop the cycle of suffering.

And they never factor in time and place. Cultures vary annd change. Every 10-20 years the US is a different country.

I discovered you can mix Nestle instant coffee with cold (charcoal filtered) water and it dissolves fine. Somehow the added sugar easily dissolves too. I also add heavy cream

It actually tastes pretty good. Most of the acrid taste from (hot) instant isnt there
