    Didn't see your comment when I posted mine, but I feel much the same. It's just far more interesting and satisfying. Telling someone to walk on a treadmill to help their focus is l…

    Those have never kept me engaged. What does is playing a sport. Playing pick up soccer gives me a far better workout than lifting heavy objects and grinding on a treadmill, even at…

    Neither have we experienced a true AI, and none of the gains in the last 50 years have brought us anything near it, only more advanced computing ability and "trick" AI. We just ass…

    Yes, that comment was ridiculously out of touch. That's fantastic you have a safety net with your parents, with amazing credit, that can borrow at good rates, at any time. What abo…

    If Americans are truly NOT saving (as opposed to just not using savings accounts): Yes, being judgmental without knowing the whole story isn't a good thing, but that misses the poi…

    I'm not quite sure what your point is. Yes, there is always something better that only the wealthy may afford-but that doesn't mean the baseline level of care for most people can't…

    First, Detroit isn't a closed system. Yes, those jobs are gone in Detroit-but people moved elsewhere. Almost every major manufacturing industry is now automated, we don't have to g…

    I do a mix. Some days I like working remotely. Others I will go into the office. I think more than anything I just want freedom. I don't want to be locked into 8-5. Some days I wan…
