I am so glad to be growing up in the era of the internet. You are helping changing lives by simply telling people truth. A little more six months ago I had so much cognitive dissonance that I was pretty much on the verge of insanity (my mom who has a legitimately schizophrenic sister was beginning to worry about me). I am much saner and happier now having happened upon you and then Roosh and others who are telling the truth as they see it without reservation. Thanks again for helping.

However, your "Do what you want" list sounds like "Do what Captain Capitalism thinks best." That's not doing what you want. Why work at a trade when you enjoy programming computers? Maybe you prefer your own company and want neither a spouse nor children. Why settle for a reliable used car when you know you will enjoy driving a classic air-cooled 911? Since "having it all" is impossible, what's important is to choose the compromises that give the most satisfying results for you, personally. The only list that matters is your own.Kendahlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-39512488112015015302015-06-02T12:00:24.634-07:002015-06-02T12:00:24.634-07:00As an aside, it looks like there's another Tec...As an aside, it looks like there's another Tech bubble going on in Silicon Valley etc. At least, that's what it looks like from here in New Zealand - being closer to the action, you can judge better for yourself.Black Poison Soulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07378635809751908950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-5931389935356047832015-06-02T09:34:00.431-07:002015-06-02T09:34:00.431-07:00Thanks for the honesty.

I did not feel bad spending 8 years (working during summers) in college working on a couple engineering degrees. I got to help my family who needed me anyway.<br /><br />The engineering consulting companies and others want you to work for free and put up the crappy pay, sorry time off, and sorry benefits. The one where I started had these old guys that were in 50's but looked worn down and looked like hell. I've met 70 year olds than in better shape.<br />sth_txsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-68116206163010666902015-06-01T19:36:45.192-07:002015-06-01T19:36:45.192-07:00My dad retired at 45.

The correspondence of my beliefs in detail with the elaborate and structured analysis must prove we are reading the same information and synthesizing the same self-consistent conclusions, which thus comforts me in the proposition that I am not actually crazy to think that most people are zombies. (I think calling most Americans and other dip shit Westerners crazy gives them too much credit regarding their mental potential.) Either way, I am better than most people. It is sooo fucking arrogant, and yet I have decided recently that I am going to stick to it, and not let other people use psychological pressure and pretenses to control my outward behavior. I am not a success, Cappy, so I hope you are right about inevitability.'Reality' Dougnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-4772688193417861832015-06-01T17:16:24.863-07:002015-06-01T17:16:24.863-07:00Wow!

Some direct, some passive/aggressive snide remarks about how I live.
