  1. Relatively young players with a lot of unrealized potential mess up their careers by transferring to a minor league for the money. Not a very intelligent decision imo. It's not like they're struggling to survive in the first place. Mahrez and Mané will get transferred to the Saudi league, too. I don't think Mbappé seriously considered that offer from Arabia. It'd be crazy for him to do it.
  2. I mean, it's called a walled garden for a reason, regardless of how excellent that garden is. I own a M1 Air btw.
  3. Why in Spanish? lol laugh + voy a enseñarte sobre la ley electoral
  4. Probably death and pain in all its forms. What is fear though? I think that might be a more fruitful inquiry.
  5. What about the freedom to buy overly expensive hardware? Seriously now, the M1 is great hardware-wise. Not sure about software.
  6. Imagine the possibilities. "You got Starbucks in your planet?"
  7. I'm not familiar with them. What makes it obvious?
  8. Yes, an episode like that would be great. Maybe focused on "being complete."
  9. Another benefit is how the information in a book can be well-structured, concise and condensed. Books get to the point. It's about content and substance, not fancy distractions. A book that provides value is not about entertainment. It's a matter of depth and scope. Problem is people want easy ways to consume something. Being addiction to stimulation may make reading a chore for some people.
  10. Dealing with one's stupidity ignorance is enough for introverted people.
  11. Being capable of taking action is about self-awareness rather than will.
  12. These people can't be happy as they lack integrity to an enormous degree. A presence like that is a fake front. Get laid, wealthy and famous! All you need to do is lie, manipulate and pretend! What do you have to lose?
  13. It's huge! As a culture we like to pretend that we're not that selfish. Culture couldn't be based on selfishness. Don't turn it into a bad thing -- or good either.
  14. Freedom is being able to do something and not do it. Freedom requires not being dominated by a self-agenda. Think of anger. Freeing yourself from that emotion implies the choice and the capacity to either be angry or not. Choosing to become angry would depend on what a given moment calls for, whether appropriate or needed.
  15. Probably more than you think.
  16. And yet when the novelty wears out that doesn't mean we grasp everything there is to grasp about any given subject. I'm talking about the basic stuff, whatever is being taken for granted. What does one know, really? Here's an interesting thought: boredom might be a sign of arrogance. Time to open up and contemplate.
  17. The principle of self-survival in action. The mouse perpetually striving after the cheese that can't be reached. It just appears to be attainable. I think you're communicating a universal sense of dissatisfaction. You conflate happiness with getting what you want -- survival. Being happy requires being satisfied with either, whether you get what you want or not. What is happiness?
