I don't know how we can even consider that luck doesn't play the biggest role in life. We are influenced by a trillion of decisions made by people that directly pass through our lives everyday. To your competitors in business to the people that decide they are sober enough to drive at the same time you are driving.

Not to mention the physical world which plays no favourites.

I look at Bezos/Musk/etc and they are on top of wealth pyramid solely because someone has to. Next year it will be someone else.

All we can do is try to make clear rational decisions and then let the universe unfold as it will.

Thanks for this. Why would I need to 'ban the US'?

A slow cooker. Add meat and vegies in the morning and come home tired to a house filled with the smells of a great dinner waiting.

Squat cage, good bar, 220kg weights, bench press, farmer walk bar. 12 years ago. Best $2,500 I've ever spent.

I always thought that there is a specific cadence or rhythm to the human mind and I would create some music (or sequence of tones) that would get people addicted and I would sell it on a per-listen basis and make trillions.

Maybe they should maintain the postal boxes, have enough sorting machines, maintain the necessary manpower/processes, and remain independent enough to deliver the fucking mail.

I developed https://www.activegoals.net with mental health in mind especially since I deal a lot with the autism community who usually have poor executive functioning.

I knew I would get this answer if at all. Just shows that humans feel we are at the centre of the universe, whatever that universe is. Sounds like the 1500's all over again. I don't understand how one can answer like this. We can't even explain the simplest of experiments; the double-slit experiment, but here we have some HN subscriber saying bullshit to something that he/she doesn't understand, and even pressed the down-vote to further show their disgust at the insinuation that the universe may not adhere to their ill-formed, or how do I say politely, childish view of what the universe could actually be.

But he/she said that 'clearly' I am wrong. Not thinking that maybe reality isn't quite what we think with the small amount of information that we have at the moment.

The only physical limitation is the Planck length and everything above this is fair game. Our universe could be a solitude brain and the multiverse could be the collective of brains but damn I've been shot-down by a HN subscriber that told me it's clearly bullshit.

The more we understand about the universe, the more it's structure resembles the brain. Galaxies, or more accurately, the black holes in the middle of galaxies resemble the neurons and these filaments and magnetic fields are the synapses.

Could we tell the WH the same thing?

I'm sorry I read about S-21 years ago because it stays with me to this day due to one thing: the lack of mercy.

It somehow compels me to go see it even though I have resisted the idea. I know I will one day.

Who cares. Firms now want so many tax concessions that cities probably lose more than they gain with these corporations.

So tired of this emphasis on the economy and job growth. The key is well-being, and a city that concentrates on well-being will get all the employment opportunities they want without a single concession. Of course, while employment opportunities last in the coming automation and robotic world.

People don't want to research themselves. How can they think that a news-feed thinks the way they do?
