I don't quite get what you mean =( I just remembered about sociobiology, I believe you gave me a brief introduction on what it was in one of my previous blogs. I still have your words in a notebook. Is sociobiology useful in getting a ritzy baller job? Is it a major? | ||

Yeah I got that, but what exactly was I supposed to think carefully about? Are you trying to tell me that I should appreciate what I have and that I should make full use of it? | ||

 Right now, I am just trying to learn as many things as I can so that I can increase my understanding of the world, and hopefully pass on some of that understanding to others. Also, trying not to be part of the problem. Removing myself from the capitalist metabolism of pointless consumption. The biggest problem that we face is that we are stuck in a culture that has lost the ability to dream about a better future. Changing that is the first step. | ||

Don't think about what things are useful. Study the things that you feel deserve to be studied. Almost everything that almost everybody does is almost completely useless. Your family has money - why do you need to make any more? Live modestly and seek to understand reality. The things in this world that are truly valuable are not so because of their exchange value; they are things that cannot be exchanged. Don't ask "why?" Ask "Why not?" | ||

I haven't been debating for a very long time and I don't even know where to start or begin to prepare for this. What format? Lots of people from that community, at least in the United States, including me, are on TL. | ||
