My friend's dad is a Knight of Malta. I think he helps to build hospitals and assists with pilgrimages to Lourdes. There is some recent controversy surrounding Malta in the Catholi…

I think you meant... crappy content aggregator -> crappy content aggregator -> crappy content aggregator -> crappy content aggregator -> acceptable content aggregator

And in a fun twist, what you mention is 99% of the reason for 99% of degree requirements on a position (yes, some positions truly do require years of specific background education)…

My company is hiring; email me and I'll look at your stuff and make a decision about recommending you.

This perspective on the bible and Latin is not a good analogy. Most people could not read any language long ago, and priests in general serve several other purposes before reading/…

8th Light offers an apprenticeship (multiple months of paid learning): https://8thlight.com/apprenticeship/ So does Pillar Technology: https://pillartechnology.com/dist/assets/care…

I am probably even less worthy of offering a summary of the book than you are, but I'll take a stab as well. The author is interested in how meaning can arise from meaningless comp…

I'm sorry, is your argument based on the current year? I presume you mean otherwise, but that's how it's written.

As an aside, I don't think "the most predatory thing" about student loans is the fixed cost regardless of profit. The same could be said of any business or real estate loan. The mo…

Hmm, so would a flat tax rate actually be progressive? ;)

One way of thinking about EQ includes self-awareness and self-management as components of your overall EQ (which may also include understanding others, for example). So, being awar…

Sorry for the late reply, but most resources I know about would get more specific about particular morality of the religion. If that's what you're looking for, you should get plent…

In Catholicism (and probably in some other religions), there is a practice of an "examination of conscience." It has helped me to make improvements of the kind you refer to. Basica…

I don't intend to mock you -- I am sure there is much more relevant context to your life decisions, and they're your own, anyway. However, I have observed friends seemingly get cau…

"What one practice, if removed from your day/week, would hurt you the most?" (be ready with a follow up question if he just says "eat" or "sleep" or whatever - "do you approach tha…

A friend was talking to a young girl in a school in WV. Friend: What would you like to do when you grow up? Girl: I wanna draw, like my daddy. Friend: Wonderful, is your daddy an a…

I appreciate your call to take a cause seriously by making changes in one's personal life. That said, every time I read someone advise "stop having babies" to combat climate change…

I think the "second military" you describe is more of a "minimal readiness for SHTF situation" group. Because no politician wants to go down in history books as the person who let …

Maybe playing the instrument isn't actually the hardest part for a pianist, but for us string players... ;)

I think you may have raised a good point - was this the appropriate forum/channel/whatever to offer his observations, questions, and criticisms? He suggests that Google has a cultu…

I did ctrl-f for "iq" at diversitymemo.com and only came up with a reference to a comparison Damore made about types of scientific evidence the left or right tend to ignore. The co…

Serious: do you see that your response is exactly what the memo was about? He's claiming that the pre-judgment that the topic is toxic is harmful. To argue against him by re-assert…

So there's no need to evaluate the argument, only to parse for key signals in the rhetoric? Thanks for saving me time in my future critical reading!

I don't think this is intended as a dig on YC-funded companies, but it would work very well as such.

Just to offer counter-perspective on your estimation that there's a "large" opportunity as you describe - I have never heard of any of my friends or family holding or attending a "…
