All right, fair enough. But my logic is sound regarding Bill Gate's wanting to rationally pick up the $100 if we assume all of the money he is making is in the form of investment yields right?

That may be true but I still would want to hear what he has to say.

Bill Gates still eats at Burger King. You can't assume that people are rich or are not rich based on a plow service.

It actually doesn't assuming his person was not engaged in some money making action at that moment. The opportunity cost of him picking up the $100 is probably close to $0 if he isn't doing something else that also makes money and requires his physical body for that moment which is highly...

Vista is not that bad of a resource hog. People need to realize that the system idle process will find work for the ram to do when there isn't other things going on. So people freak out because a fair proportion of ram is being used when they are essentially idling. But it is true that Vista...

You know I like to call BS on a lot of stuff but... Jack does contribute a hell of a lot and even if most of it nonsense (not saying it truly is) there is at least something to be learned from it. So appreciate what he is doing even if you disagree. I just don't think someone could be that...

Whether or not you shovel your own snow is a simple economic question: If it is more profitable to shovel it yourself you will if not you won't. A person that has a day job that is demanding will probably hire a service so he can sleep in everyday and get out the door on time. A person...

Well on the one hand you can't let other people push you around but on the other hand other people do matter to some degree as that is an inescapable fact of life. Can you tell I have some economics background? What you should said, if it still bothers you, is the truth. The next time you...

I'm pretty sure it has universal appeal. I actually think it works in America more because there is actually more opportunity. You can't really tell people that are starving to death that it's because their head isn't in the game. They would eat you. But in America where 99.9% of all problems...

That was actually a lot better than I thought it was going to be. Well done. Note: I only read the first two paragraphs and last line.

Let the guy die in peace you monsters.

Well the door swings both ways. People who make money a certain way or ways tend to think that that is the way when it is a way. Entrepreneurs think its their way or the high way. Executives the same. Professionals the same. Investors the same. Traders the same. Obviously not all of these...

It's almost as if high returns are followed by low returns for some strange reason.

I didn't say all, I said some. Edit: Actually I said a lot. So I don't know where the leaves us, lol.

Lol. Obvious but still hilarious. My point is just that I don't think that thinking correctly (as these people describe) is what causes the "success" to manifest itself I believe it is that you decide to do something (thought) and wind up, over time, doing it. There is a big difference. One...

Well I can tell you right now that a lot of Doctors and Lawyers [and people] don't understand money. Financial people do. I really find that non-business people just cannot fathom that there are other ways to make money than working for it. That has been my experience.

Rather than give you some hippie advice about inner peace I'll give you some real advice: Move away. Seriously, if you have a bad boss then you have no choice but to find another job ASAP for the sake of your career. You have neighbors that will never fulfill your sense of community on...

Since thought leads to action thinking is a prerequisite for trying which is a prerequisite for success. Just because everyone who succeeds thinks about success does not mean that thought alone caused the success. It was the first step not the final step. Thought leads to action and it was the...

So what if two people think two different things? How does that get manifested? Is it a battle of the wills? Can you turn into a dinosaur if you concentrate hard enough? If thoughts had power beyond motivating people to take real action then why don't you just think about gold bars filling...
