I have changed, retraced my opinions number of times to get to where I am.

Also read atleast 3-4 hours everyday to help me with investing.

Why should I be tolerate idiots? Steve Jobs doesn't, Elon doesn't. Toleration leads to bloat.

IF there are people who do research before they post and agree they were wrong when provided with evidence, I will have respect for them.

Look at the air traffic controller thread. People assumed before posting nonsense.

And when I ask for the source they are pivoting to whatever nonsense they can find. Respectable thing is to accept and move on.

having higher levels of maturity, evolving thought process is always a burden. one has to deal with it when we coexist among mediocrity. Being kind, don`t react just respond are ways to manage this. There`s a reason some people choose solitude. be the change. Advocacy can help be positive bro.

Agree. Plan is to take up early retirement and get into teaching.

You are the one spreading panic. I appreciate your effort to post the latest news.

But the mainstream media gets money by spreading misery and panic. Hope you do a check before you post.

You need to read Elon Musk by Walter Isaacson.

You don't work for the Government. I do.

99% are sheeps rest 1% are billionaires, multi millionairs, politicians, business leaders including sports starts and movie artists these 1% will decide what we see , eat , wear  and live our lives . We can only consume things are produced and made available to us by them .

So you are exposed to the panic. Its natural for you to be in that situation.

But you have been spreading it on this forum which isn't healthy.

Ethically speaking, if you care about the rest of the forum members, you wouldn't be doing so.

I come from Entrepreneur family so my natural inclination or you can say bias would be towards capitalism.

Look at money only as a tool. My passion is being a constant learner and to help humanity move forward. Which is the reason as to all my posts on this forum.

Capitalism is the system that worked best....got us so many comforts,saved billions of lives.

Ethics comes into picture only when the stomach is full.

Bunch of very good people got stranded on an island where there was no food and they had to resort to cannibalism.

 

Love Abdul Kalam. Elon just did what Kalam tried to do in 1969 with reusable rockets but our beaurocracy stopped him.

Read books about Kalam as well as Elon.

My story is different. I was born and raised in a family that was into agriculture. We were reasonably well off. When you hire 15 people to do agriculture labor work for you. It is no different from capitalism as well. It doesn't mean that I have same the same goals or aspirations. Things change. I have different affinities in life. My ancestral background has zero influence on me. On a deeper level, I'm heading towards spirituality. I have learnt to accept the world as is. I can't judge things when I don't know how those things came in existence in the first place. Our data is very limited. Let's stop worrying about ineptness of others. I would suggest we focus on ourselves first.

 I feel the same. I wonder why our ancestors for millions of years never chased money like we did. Furthermore, I don't think they were all stupid.  We are talking about people who lived in different generations. There must be a reason. They clearly never bothered to ruffle that feather. I wonder if we are making a mistake of indulging ourselves in too much hedonistic adventures.

Our ancestors were very cruel. They pillaged, raped,plundered....even in US, there was slavery, concentration camps etc.

Our generation is the best and the next generation is going to be even better than us.

That is true. But that was only a fraction of people who wanted more. Whether it's with land or women.

Those people had a mindset of current gen capitalists. Take away the laws and police in our society today. Watch how many women will be raped in 24 hours. The magnitude will be unfathomable. You clearly have a biased lens. You need to understand the underlying machinations behind everything. Taking everything on a surface level is misleading indeed. And you will risk drawing up some wrong conclusions.

Average ancestor was more closer to the animal than we are.

Caste discrimination, killing of LGBTQ, killing of other tribes ,races, regionalism, tribalism.

OMG lets not talk about our ancestors......horrible people.

There was no body cameras, dna tests.....people would murder for fun.

We think its worse now just because whatever bad happens in any remote corner of the world gets shown in our bedroom thanks to TV.

At core, we are all animals even today. Back in the day, religion controlled the society.  so called morals and ethics of our ancestors were derived dtrictly from religion.

Now, religion alone is not enough. Hence, we created entities such as law and order. Hence we talk about 1st amendment blah blah. 

The beast will be unleashed when religion and law are given a holiday at any day. It's cute that you think we are better today. We are just kept in check better.

partially agree but don`t judge the past through modern lens. we`re seeing the same coin from different sides. earlier winners wrote the history, now everyone writes whatever they want. Lesser access to knowledge in the past now we`re not sure if the available knowledge is real or fake. agnanam kanna ardha gnanam pramadakaram.

I am saying the same. Don't judge the past through modern lens.

Even in ancient times, everyone used to write whatever they want ....every tribe head or village head would create whatever rule they wanted.

Just look at all the available stats. If we go further back, annihilating an entire tribe was fairly common and was just survival.

Religion has been created to turn animals into humans through stories and fear as our understanding was of a baby.

Now our understanding is like a teenager....so religion isn't needed. Modern day education with some reform should be fine.
