Its crazy how the conversation changes, it felt like many of the people on Hacker News were anti-bitcoin, but now that the price is nice, I'm seeing it on the first page all the time.

If you want to fit in and get along with most people, it's best not to think for yourself.

I think your point about 'Third variable problem' is a steelman interpretation of my statements, and a better path to explore.

Maybe it does make it true, maybe that is why I feel this way.

I feel 100% sure that the movement/patterns of the planets, the sun, moon and other celestial objects have a significant effect on who we are and how we feel. BUT, I am also pretty sure that most people claiming to understand what is going on are lying.
"Astrology" is real, "astrologists" are charlatans.

It's almost like foreign threats are discussed to avoid us looking inside.

I've always wondered why we devalue parenthood and make people feel like they aren't contributing when they choose to raise kids over having a career. As a parent, I don't see how much of any work I do could be more important than my child. It's just twisted to me, that we devalue something so important and meaningful.

I wonder how much of someone's genetics determines how likely they are to watch movies over hustle.

A friend works in the city of London, he told me taxi drivers always have details about business deals that aren't yet public for the very same reason.

Doesn't mean UFO's are real, just that these unidentified flying objects have been recorded.
But then, is this a disclosure that UFO/aliens are real?

I think part of it, is that it's much easier and palatable to talk about what happened a long time ago.
What is happening now is a 'conspiracy theory' until at some point in the future it becomes historical fact.

I rarely use Uber, but when I do I feel safe. I don't know that I'd feel safe doing it completely anonymously.
Re:Germany for First Time Sells 30-Year Bonds Offering Negative Yields

Another reason, I've not seen mentioned, is that you think bonds will go even more negative, so you buy now, to avoid having to buy a much more negative rate later.
