Happy Chinese New Year.

I vehemently disagree with your stance, but you have been nothing but civil in laying it out when asked. So, screw people if they are upset by other viewpoints.

Is New Year's day really your birthday? If so, Happy Birthday!

Well when pretty much all policy gets dictated by what Manitoba and Ontario and Quebec want. I say fuck'em !

fuck'em hard.

The way we devise representation in this country is pathetic. Based on gross population not square footage. BULL PUCKY.

What kinds of problems do we solve in life outside of career? However we would describe those problems, they're all simplistic compared to solving complex professional problems, like writing a 30 page technical specifications document for an innovative product that's going to make people's lives better, or planning and executing a business strategy to outcompete our undeserving competitors.
In my experience, people who don't invest themselves in their professional lives are boring to talk to because their not really engaged with the world and they're not meaningfully challenged by life so they don't develop their human potential.

These challenges are typically a distraction from our personal goals. It's axiomatic that if you spend all your time concentrating on professional expertise then you'll be less developed in other areas. My choice has been not to spend years on something that's just going to handicap me.

Advancing political philosophy makes people's lives better too. An idle lifestyle is necessary to that study in particular, but beneficial to intellectual growth generally.

There's far too little time in life to spend it on a career. When you're working you're not thinking.
I'm practically teetotal, in fact. I use drugs recreationally no more than once or twice a year. When I talk about pro-lifers instead of cops do you picture me laying around having abortions all the time?

Expand your intellectual horizons
Where I live, in Silicon Valley, we work round the clock because we're doing good things for the world, getting excellent compensation in proportion to our contribution, and there are never enough talented 21st century workers to fill the job openings.
There's far too little time in life to do drugs or wish there was less law enforcement / more street crime.

Thanks. It was sort of hard to hear since it was recorded live, but mostly heard it. You should submit it!

Hmm, physical oddies as distractions? I have plenty of those with my disabilities, but still no women.
