sometimes ego suspension fixes the problem.


Having come to the US with a few dollars behind me, I totally understand the circumstances of being poor. having said that, there is no way you need to be homeless in the US. There is more social help here than in a lot of places in the world. subsidized living support is real, food stamps and church support, among other things. I cannot judge the people in the article, I dont know them but I think when two people work, are not disabled, they do not have to live on the streets in the US, unless they have some kind of a psychological disorder. yes, life is tough, but there is no way it is tougher than in a lot of other places where people in worse conditions monetarily make do. if they are not on social security or not in subsidized housing, then they make enough to not be on it. homelessness in the US is a very odd state of affairs to anyone to was truly poor before.


This phenomenon was known as one of manifestations of 'qi', life force to the ancient chinese. Specifically, the form that can be better aligned with what can be described as 'intent'.


Which brings up the interesting idea that qi may be phenomenologically "real", insomuch as it's something our brains percieve, even if it has no basis in physical "reality".


I find qi phenomenologically real, whatever basis it might have.

Indeed, if it wasn't, it's hard to imagine how the concept would have been invented, let alone repeatedly in different cultures.


Also from ancient India:

It is amazing and amusing to observe how money trampoline one's feeling of self importance to unimaginable heights.


Deep meditation. It is not quick to learn but it profoundly changed circumstances around and within me.


Good bye WeWork. Just another crazy idea by the environmentalists, right after feeding babies with orange juice instead of milk. Btw, human DNA contains 50% of proteins obtainable only from meat. Make your own conclusions.


This is a dumb idea, but you're being just as ideological and silly as they are. It's quite possible for modern humans to be healthy without eating meat.


I absolutely love remote work. In fact, if I could not be bothered on slack by constant likes and rehashes of links I can go read and find on my own it would be even better. If I want a meeting of any kind it should be scheduled. I feel physical pain when my time is wasted.
