what's the problem if people are using fake names? They're called nicknames and were used since the beginning of the internet. Is Zuckerberg on some kind of power trip? Or he's out of the whole deal and people there are doing whatever they want?

I always thought that when people are forced to use their real name will be more careful what are they saying but it actually didn't change anything. People are still idiots Grin

Re: Why is life so hard/complicated?

Life isn't complicated at all. It's us who make it look that way. We over-analyze and overthink everything. But it all comes to set of simple decisions. You do/say something or don't. If you have some problems in your life don't look at them as such. You can't change the situation but you can change how you react to it. You can cry, be depressive etc or you can do something about it. I always try to look my life as a computer programmer. If I want to correct something I don't patch it, I debug it so I find a root cause of problem and fix that instead of trying to only fix problems on surface.

Re: Is it better to save money or invest it?

Depending on your financial situation. If you don't have some spare money you shouldn't be even thinking about investing. All investing should be done only with the money you can afford to lose.

I find an interesting quote from some book. It says: "Struggling business owners will spend time to save money, whereas successful business owners will spend money to save time. Why is that an important distinction? Because you can always get more money, but you can never get more time."

I think it's because there are to few forums (categories) so people are limited to talk about bitcoins, economy, politics and government stuff and all other things are considered offtopic. I'm trying to find interesting topic to participate with my opinions but it's true that there is too many rehashing...

Re: Peers, more than teachers, inspire us to learn

Classmates can only compete among themselves. Sometimes they can help, but it's very rare. It is this rivalry that stimulates them to improve their knowledge. But teachers have more knowledge and they can more effectively teach.

Perhaps if you're in physical classroom. But if you look for example courses on edx or coursera, you can see that peers motivate each other (especially if there's facebook group or some kind of forum) and I didn't see a competition per se but pure encouragement and students helping each other.

I don't know why people are so upset about anything on the internet... If you concerned about privacy then don't use it. Don't upload photos, don't provide your phone numbers. They can do whatever they want and as long as people accept their term and continue to use it will be that way. There are plenty other communication platforms on the internet...

There could be, but I don't think that there's small group of people who are ruling the whole world. I think this small group of people have enormous impact on today's society but I don't think they are controlling everything. But money, politics... yes, probably.

Re: Best way for steady income

on 19/03/2017, 10:41:24 UTC
Indeed, there is no other way to generate a steady income rather than finding a work that is suited for you, all the other ways of earning money are just risky and will eventually go.

I have to disagree with you on that. You can generate a steady income without actually doing a work. You can always outsource operational work and you can still have a steady income and only manage your people if you know how.

And regarding the risk. Risk is everywhere. Nobody can guarantee you that even that work you find for yourself will last long or the person/company paying you won't cheat you.

Re: Negative effects of technology

Technology is the same as every other thing in this world. If you know how to use for meaningful purpose than it's more than welcome. When my parents and grandparents told me how they were living in my age that was really sad. The main problem I see is that people are relying to much on today's technology. Everything you need to know is just few clicks away and you don't really have to actually know anything.

Re: Passive Income

Passive income definitely requires management. What's most important is that you're not obligated to be somewhere or do something at the certain moment. For example, you can be sick for a week and not do anything in that period but you would still be earning money and then you can continue.

Let say you wrote a book or you're selling some kind of your own product online. You will definitely have to either do marketing on your own on manage the people you outsource to do the management for you so that money doesn't stop coming due to lack of marketing.

I don't know why people believe in religion (especially in today's world with the all information available few mouse clicks away) but I think it's their right to believe in whatever they want. For example I was raised in a family where my mother has been christian and my father has been atheist. Until I was 17 I believed in God and Jesus but after reading many books and documentaries I stopped believing. And it was on my own. Nobody forced me to believe or not to believe.

The most important thing is that whatever you believe in does not harm anyone. As long as you keep it for yourself and for your own spiritual good I don't see any problem. I know my mother finds strength in her belief so why would I try to convince her to stop believing.

I think that many people search for purpose in their life.
I believe also in the spiritual reality, not just physical.
Yes, scientists can create many ''nice'' things and our life is better now than before, but still many people feel''empty'' and without purpose of life.
Do you think that technology or science can give us purpose of life?
Or help us find ''inner'' peace in our mind?
I don't think so.
When we talk about God, we are talking about spiritual reality, and science can't help us in this area.




but still many people feel''empty'' and without purpose of life...

BECAUSE THEY ARE POOR Wink..

This is individual. I know people who are rich in material things (money, cars etc.) but feel empty inside. And on the other side there are people who have nothing but family and they are happiest people I know.

Technology and science certainly can't give us purpose of life. Far from that. But they are just "a tool" in our life if you know how to get the best from it.
For example, what bothers me the most is how people use internet in the wrong purpose. Instead of looking it as an unlimited source of knowledge many people use it for for stupid things which separates us from each other.

And I wouldn't necessary agree with you that technology can't help us in spiritual area. For example, if there was no internet I probably wouldn't ever try to meditate (which is also some kind of spirituality). You have access to people who can teach you what they know about spiritual, so you can open your mind to other things and not just something your parents taught you.

I think we are "by default" spiritual beings and that's why some people feel empty and have no purpose in life. That's why I said that as long as your religion doesn't harm others you can believe in whatever you want and nobody should ever try to convince you otherwise.

Re: Impact of drinking alcohol.

As with everything else in our lives the most important thing is to find a balance. You know how they say, every poison in small doses is a medicine and every medicine in large doses is a poison. Some people even recommend drinking a glass of wine after the lunch.

At my previous job I was working night shifts (midnight to 8 am), and my problem was that my soul was sleeping at around 4-5 am but after 6-7 there would be sunrise and I was sharp awake and I couldn't sleep. So I find out that if I drink one beer after the shift I would sleep like a baby Smiley
It is self-deception. If you have insomnia then this is most likely due to the fact that you had some thoughts which did not allow you to disable the brain activity. Alcohol just relaxed. Gradually the dose will need to increase and this can lead to alcoholism.

I worked 4 years that job and I never had to increase the dose to achieve the same effect. In general I never had insomnia and that was not case here. It was only due to fact that because of the sunrise my body thought it was time to wake up and not to go to sleep. But yes, that one beer relaxed my mind and was able to easily fall asleep. BTW I managed to achieve almost the same effect with a large cup of warm chocolate milk, but I just prefer the beer  Cheesy

When I first started working a full time job I had a little bit of spare money and I was researching the internet and youtube for ways to invest and practically the first term I stumbled upon was "passive income". I was so excited about that because I thought it would be easy to achieve. Boy I was wrong Smiley

The main problem is that there are so many "passive" opportunities you can find online but most of them aren't passive. For example one of the first things I thought would be good are various rev-share programs. Some people say it's the passive way of the making money but in fact it isn't, because in most of them you have to do something every day (like clicking on ads). I think that true way of passive income would be either buy something and start getting income from it, or work to make something by yourself initially and then start getting continuous income but not having any daily obligations. Of course that every business has some "maintenance" work, but the important thing is that you don't have to do something.
