There are plenty efforts we don't enjoy, that do at times(not always) actually make others happy. In the end it's the intent that matters to us but unfortunately to others only results matter, and even those can be disregarded. You can't not agree …

Now we are getting a bit too personal. I am not challenging your statement, just saying there are other ways to view life.

I've forced myself do things that actually made others happy. And in return, I was happy without needing confirmation, but it's nice to have it.

> "The only honest thing is pleasure - desire, joy - and nothing I've forced myself to do has ever given pleasure to the people around me" That's not entirely true. Think about it.

I edited my post.

Very interesting approach, but too simplistic, if I may say so. By that, I mean the balance introvert-extrovert each of us has, is not the same.

I prefer calling the process contemplating. ;-) Think about starting the day with infinite options.. how messed up is that??

Yup.. press enter & wait for the ... Dots to "process". Which sometimes takes a little while.

If anything, this would help eventually push deployment of ip v6. Then not only chickens, but each atom could theoretically be mapped and it's history documented (ironically taking up even more data space).

Such a friendly soul! I never wanted to leave.. https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-zgQRQxN/0/1a02da19/X3/i-zgQRQxN-X3.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-ZN7zvLJ/0/af14b013/X3/i-ZN7zvLJ-X3.jpg

Personality

Very interesting topic. As far we know from physics, nothing is gained nor lost, matter and energy simply transforms. In this context, atheism and morality are simply points of view defined by humans, thus applicable only by and to them.

Thanks Paul. In reply to the OP, I may be too old school but don't believe in "movements" of any kind. Never did. However the advice to invest could benefit anyone; to me most sensitive is managing risk & return which is related directly to one's …

"Yes, invite more! " I am not very popular, but how is this for publicity?

Paul, you know I am in. May be too late but still, I ain't giving up teaching this old horse new tricks as long as it's got a pulse. Do tell more about that compound interest and ways to practically use it please.

Just thinking about it, it seems we have to analyze the definition to understand better. What is a "Digital Nomad" ? Someone using the "Matrix" to live in real life. And we end up where we are, using social media! So yes, it's a two way street …

I get you both and the lifestyle. There is definitely a great appeal to living in different parts of the world, with someone you trust and enjoy being with, yet not be tied up in either one place more than you like to. It's a state of mind, first …

I am curious how this conversation evolves. I have always loved taking long motorcycle trips, the further the better. I don't mind camping or "roughing it" moderately but only for short time. Thirty years ago I used to not think twice before …

This reminded me how they sound, I used to hear them at my grand mother's house.. https://youtu.be/9YPM3rNfZNI
