  1. is it really necessary for a company to be unionized? Does it affect their business goals?
  2. You grew up in a beautiful house with good Religious traditions. Such discipline and respect people carry towards reality is beautiful. I think you missed it. I thought that the church was complete bullshit before I listened to leo. Sunday school, church and daily prayers all annoyed the crap out of me. But when I realised that religion was an institution based on the ultimate truth of existence I was overflowing with joy. It was even a little ego stroking to me to go to church, and thinking "Look at all these idiots, they don't have any clue about what they are doing. I have more knowledge than the persists. " I am much more accommodating of religion right now. Sadly too many people hate their upbringing simply because someone from the internet told them so. I think it's demeaning and naive. The thumb rule is that "If something is causing you to be hateful, you are doing it wrong. If something is causing you to be loving, then you are doing it right." So you may not be in accordance with Truth to abandon religion or be guilty of your Indian upbringing. You are missing so much nuance by simply calling them as blue and they are somehow lower because some model says so. Maybe you have some integration left to do in those aspects. I am actually scared of living forever too. ?? Like imagine living through all the rape and slavery and torture. And you will be doing that for infinity. That's something that i have not come to terms with. Maybe I need psychedelics for that which I cannot access in India.
  3. Putin intended to join NATO in the early days he came to power. He was pro west. The west didn't wanted that. They saw Russia as a loser from the world war and not as superpower allies. The west declined it since they don't share the same "democratic values".
  4. The world economic form is coming up with a software that can help individuals track their personal carbon footprint to be "more responsible citizens". Of course they are funded by the big oil corporations.

  6. You are also dreaming this wanting to change the dream like everyone else. I don't get how you are adding to the conversation. "But but the conversation is a dream." Yeah you dreamt it up, and by involving in it, you want the dream to change it to your liking, all of which are your dreams.
  7. I think that's a good idea. I have the audio version of it somehow on my lap.
  8. This could have been an interesting conversation, but as soon as it gets going, some idiot will come and say some stupid shit and this thread would get locked.
  9. This. "The reason it takes longer is because you want it faster."
  10. All well then. Best of luck my friend. Grind it out. Build your empire. Towards greatness. Also one last of piece of advice I may give it to not listen to too many people on the internet. THe chances are that they have a shittier life than you pretending to be great outside. Even if the advice is "good" it may not fit in your specific life circumstances. Life is largely a solo battle. It's difficult to integrate the advices coming from so many different people. Best of luck my friend.
  11. If you bias towards Truth, then Leo is showing the best approach. Everyone gets to explain their world view in as detail and nuance as possible taking hours if necessary. Then the other side carefully dissects and invalidates each others arguments. They would speak less and do more thinking. This is long and boring as fuck which is why least people even care about it. Also it takes a ton of work. This is enough to discourage 99% of the people. You don't even get enough time to finish your points in debates. It's so short and fast. So deeper point are never touched upon. True. More importantly instead of actual truth, it's about sounding Better to the audience and making the other look like crazy, like the woman in the video is. She has a legit point, but looks like a dumbfuck to the audience. Making better points may not look so impressionable to the audience though.
  12. Just one question: Is the business degree you are after really worth it? Evaluate the potential that comes with the degree. What you really need is a profitable skill. And universities are the last place you find them. They just teach you a bunch of garbage. Exception: Elite universities. For eg in my profession, you don't need a cs degree to learn coding. I am assuming you can practices sales & marketing and become proficient in it, instead of wasting time in uni. Plus you will get to fuck a lot of girls in your thirties if you play your cards right now. This is the time to grind. I am on it as well. I will ditch any gf even if she comes to me at this point. Getting your life in order must be the only priority.
  13. Good luck debating. All these hippy feminist will get crushed and owned because they don't know what they are talking about. Conservatives on the other hand are firm in their thinking, atleast. Debates are a show of effectiveness as opposed to Truth.
  14. Helicopters are also a socially constructed category. Does being classified as a Apache Twin Turboshaft attack helicopter also depends solely upon identification with it? Did you verify it with the helicopter, whether it identifies as a hippopotamus or a helicopter? Or maybe you are confused as fuck. It's ok if you call transwoman, as a biological man who identifies as a woman. That actually makes sense. We can accommodate such people. But if you think you are literally a woman after having a dick, simply because you choose to identify as such is lunacy. People identify with insane shit all the time. That's why We don't build the world around identifications. We build the world around observations. Understand the difference.
  15. "What is a woman?" I don't know. "Is a transwoman a woman?" Yes. "Then what is a woman?" I don't know.
  16. It is wrong to kill an ant or a child. It's all about how much you care. You care about a human, you don't care about an ant. That's the only valid distinction you can bring up at this point.
  17. Reminds me of what Kierkegaard said. Marry and you will regret it. Don't marry and also regret it. Most reasons for divorce are incompatibility and lack of commitment. Things that could be solved be persistence and work. The first problem is comparison. A woman that had 5 boyfriends before you will always have higher expectations for you. One of her bfs must had a bigger dick than you, another had more money, another was smarter and charismatic etc. So a woman that had multiple partner would need more work to be pleased. Same is true from a man's pov. Having had sex with burning hot sex with young females make you question why you are putting up with your aging wife. A man usually marries in his early thirties and that is the time when he has the most options in the dating market. So a healthy marriage would involve giving up some of your options. Also having sex with multiple partners affects your ability to effectively pair bond with one partner. Your body Remembers the memory from all the partners you have had sex with, and might make you incompatible from forming an effective relationship with new person. It's an irreversible change. Deeper connections are harder to make, not to mention the trauma and abuses you accumulate with each partner which is going to be carried over to the relationship. That might explain some of the reasons why high partner count coorelates with high divorce. I don't think most people are happy after divorce either. Divorce is terrible for the mental health of the parents and children.
  18. How exactly does exploitation happen in the case of testing students? Can you give something specific. The idea of testing is to give the students and idea of where they stand, their abilities and the possibilities it would open up. I don't think the war time scenario is strictly applicable here. Education is an individual game, every every individual has absolute authority to decide their own wins/failure.
  19. One more point about tests is that it's inherently competitive and going to involve comparisons. I do agree with JK that it shouldn't lead to exploitation. But you also have to accept that fact that we live in a competitive and exploitative reality, where high IQ is a necessity for vast majority of the tasks. A test can be done to evaluate two things : Either memory or IQ or a combination of both. Every written test is directly or indirectly is a measure of these. In my observation, descriptive type tests where you are required to write any number of words tests your working memory; your ability to hold things in your brain. Retention; Remember; Objective type tests (mcqs) test IQ, spatial reasoning and also some working memory. You need to remember some things to effectively solve IQ problems. Other than this there is nothing that is actually measurable. Creativity isn't strictly measurable. Work ethic, discipline cannot be measured. Only these two things can be measured and they can be measured with reasonable accuracy. These days people ar quick to dismiss IQ and propagate crap like EQ as being better than IQ lol. There is no way around this problem. If educational system cannot test IQ (which they don't these days) corporations will be forced to take up that role. It's not even their job to be honest. There are so many problems like this of not conducting adequate Testing. What you bought up is a serious problem that enough people are simply not paying attention to.
  20. I plan to take a formalised IQ test by the beginning of next year. Will answer you after that. I don't want to answer based on speculation of informal internet IQ tests.
  21. What a fresh video to see two men maturely discussing a topic. https://youtu.be/-zRqzcvJxAU With regards to testing, the main concern of his is rank ordering Students in a hierarchy. But some students naturally excel more than others, which leads to a disparity & an organic hierarchy. The key points is that STATUS should be eliminated from the hierarchy while encouraging different students to pursue result independent outcomes and just love what you are doing in an undisciplined fashion. Eliminating status is idealistic, but completely missed these days everything is status based. A student scoring high is the result of privilege ,wealth, sexism racism, fascism etc. Everything except IQ and talent. We can clearly see this trend among universities removing standardised tests and schools phasing out gifted programs. This is pathetic. Sadly this isn't going to change anytime soon. As more green people get into power everything is looked upon through the lens of race, status, power and wealth. Celebration of unique abilities of children is perverted into mere explanations of class privilege. Freedom of kids, including free speech will be further restricted. There is a good chance that my kids won't be attending universities.
  22. It technically need not make you bisexual. Bisexual means you find both men and women attractive. You don't find men attractive, you just like dicks and it's fine. End it at that. You need not try to fit in the social constructs built by society. If I likes ice cream,it doesn't make me an icecreamophile or something. Because these categories comes with added un intended baggage. Either way you are brainwashed by society. Either by traditionalists or progressives. Pick your poison. Each has it's own benifits and consequences. People here are far more ideological than what they think of themselves to be. It's just that they change the content of their ideology.
  23. Having pre martial sex increases the odds of divorce. The thing is you need to work hard to get a quality woman. No surprise. And I think it's great. Marriage is fundamentally stage blue thingy. It's hard to find functional marriages in orange societies. >= 50% of the marriages end in divorce in the US. The same odds as flipping a coin. Casual sex is the primary reason, also the declining of strong patriarchal support is a factor. Men(in India) understands this intuitively and urged women to protect their chastity till marriage. This is to protect the fundamental unit that holds society together, family. Bro don't read stuff on the internet about other people's lives and wish it was you. It's not going to work that way. Instead work constructively with what you have. Instead of casual sex with 20 women you can build a deeper relationship with one woman. That should be explored isn't it? Also I have seen plenty of abuses aimed at @Someone here for choosing up to opening about his sexuality. Kindly refrain from doing it. I Would advice against it if your intention is to marry the girl. It's not worth the risk, and you should be aware of that. If you just want to casually have sex, then go ahead.
  24. Just test their IQ in a comfortable environment. Give them enough room for intellectual stimulation. The children would do fine. But the parents and teachers are suddenly triggered that some students outclass other students. Testing students have been made more difficult than it should be. One point that I want to be clear: Students must have adequate freedom to innovate inside the academic system. The system should get out of the way. Acknowledge the legitimacy of IQ and don't suffer it.
