  1. Everyone later laughs about the times they were teased in school. No one who was bullied laughs about it, ever. They are not the same thing.

  2.  @kebayjones837  Not true. Goggins was deployed to Iraq with SEAL Team Five. He began running ultramarathons to raise money for the families of fallen SEALs.

  3.  @Not-hing89  Yes he did. See the explanation above. SEALs are tactical and special operations, and have a code of confidentiality concerning actual battles, for good reason. They can't just write a book without permission about actual deployments, and vetting of the story.

  4. THIS. Social media is ubiquitous and potentially immortal. Anyone on earth can see it. This is an entirely different environment for a child approaching puberty, who WILL have overly sensitive moments. The point is to not get stuck in them, and not be shaped by them -- and not have the whole world see them. When I was a kid, it was rare for journalists to get permission to take a picture of a famous person's child. Use of children in advertising was frowned upon and regulated. People were appalled at stage Moms, and felt that child actors deserved special consideration and protection. And the kids weren't cry babies at all.

  5. What's a DS?

  6.  @meowth8050  I wasn't bullied until adulthood. Workplace bullying is a criminal offense in a lot of countries. Here, it means tough luck, look for a new job. I don't care about "growth," so called. My family is abroad, I need money to retire and emigrate.

  7.  @meowth8050  That is true. Or at least a good possibility.

  8.  @meowth8050  Perfectly stated!

  9.  @Not-hing89  I'm sorry! Misunderstood because of the last line. Still a good answer/agreement, then. Goggins didn't want to write anything that required extensive review.

  10. I think Lex is the best, and when I found him slipping, it cured me of watching too many podcasts, a bad habit I developed during this pandemic. If I could see through him, and I know no one else is better, then this stuff is not worth so much of my time.

  11. It is a language, though, and an ethnicity.

  13. David Goggins has an inner voice like Socrates'.

  14. Jobs emotionally abused his daughter his whole life, and stole from all of friends. Not ordinary "jerk" stuff.

  15. Beautifully stated.

  16.  @edgarallanpoe8917  Goggins has said so in interviews. How else would I possibly arrive at that notion? As for accusations that he never saw combat, I note he was decorated many times. Interesting how you're entirely credulous where critics of Goggins are concerned, but you easily deny facts that are favorable to him. I wonder why. Also, not like it's hard to look it up! Give that a try.

  19.  @johnarnold893  Of course. There is nothing to those stories of market manipulation, defamation, ridiculous government subsidies, defective products that have killed people, or that Tesla's profitability (after years in the red) comes from selling emissions credits, not cars. Of course people are jealous of money. Erotic love is dead. If you made money on his stock, absolutely praise him. The story behind a stock matters, so by all means protect it.

  20.  @johnarnold893  Where do you see people hating him? An ironic laugh, sure.

  21.  @johnarnold893  This series cured me of watching too much YouTube. I think Lex is the best, and when I found him slipping -- especially here -- it cured me of watching too many podcasts, a bad habit I developed during this pandemic. If I could see through him, and I know no one else is better, then this stuff is not worth my time. I'm thrilled, frankly.

  23.  @johnarnold893  You have a limited repertoire. But Musk is actually making useful things, a huge advantage over, say, Facebook, and all the other corporations whose main product is propaganda -- or surveillance. That much must be acknowledged. If you have a need for heroes, you could do worse.

  24.  @johnarnold893  You can read the business pages for yourself, or SEC press releases, or court cases. You understand mathematics, no? Or do you accept things on authority?

  26.  @johnarnold893  I cite facts, you go full ad hom. In America, that apparently works. That's why we have the mess we do. I don't bother with hate. Emotion has nothing to do with the topic at hand. Hate seems to be on YOUR mind a lot, though. Ad hominem + DARVO? Isn't that getting old for you? Still has legs?

  27.  @johnarnold893  BTW, ask Joshua Brown about results. Just kidding, you can't.

  28. Oh please, all this stuff about "socialist indoctrination!" In the US? Business administration has been the Number 1 major in college for over a generation, and business administration is often less rigorous than an English degree. It simply shows docility, that you WILL do whatever your boss tells you to do. The next most popular class of majors are in the health sciences, excluding psychology and biology. Psychology itself is very popular, and can qualify a person for a clinical MSW and beyond. So is biology, and it can also lead to a job related to health care, from laboratory technician, to pharmacist, to doctor, to director of research. I've just described close to half of what college students actually major in, as in real life. Do people not know this? Seriously?

  29. Come to think of it, even if your take on the matter is entirely true (doubt it, but anyway), maybe she was teaching you something very valuable: how to talk in front of HR to avoid problems at work. That's not socialist indoctrination, that's late capitalist image tending.

  30. This is a talking point. The most common college major by far is Business Administration, and has been for well over a generation. (Without a lot of accounting to qualify for a CPA, or finance and the math to go with that, it just exists to prove docility to employers.) The next three or four most popular majors are related to health care in some way. All together, that accounts for about half of all college students. We haven't even mentioned engineering, computer science, or pre-law. So someone somewhere majors in Women's Studies and goes on to journalism or film school. Big deal.

  31.  @imccc  Gender Studies majors are extremely rare, and account for less than 1% of all degrees conferred. But combine it a full minor or second major in photography and you'll go farther in fashion merchandising than any Business major ever could. Or, go to law school, specialize later in Title IX. IOW, These are just stupid talking points, intended to shift blame (like most things). Of course you're right -- it depends. The only true rags to riches story I know was an art major, who went on to make iconic commercials. And later was sorry he never made a "real" movie.

  32. State universities in America were free or nearly so not that long ago. A full-time student at a major state university paid a thousand or so in tuition in the 1970s, sometimes more but often less. Dorm fees and dorm food, and housing in general, were the real problem.
    1
  33. @Sandier Ramirez When I was a kid, college students could work full time for minimum wage over the summer and easily make enough to cover their state-school tuition for the entire year. This built AUTONOMY. It was good for more than a college education. It was education for self-reliance and responsibility and pride. Having to go into debt for a necessity is always detrimental. A summer job that lets you pay for more than one or two classes cannot happen any more. It doesn't exist.

  34.  ɮᴇᴄφᴍɪnɢ - WR  On the contrary, no tuition, fees-only is the rule. It's a tradition dating from Socrates contra the Sophists, the latter being the first teachers for pay in Europe.

  35.  Brian Abisdid  The late, great public land-grant universities had tuition and fees so low that a full-time summer job covered it, and usually covered books as well. Oddly enough, students studied on average more hours than they do now, and they didn't even have much in the way of computers to help them.

  39. Any time you call an ambulance, the person who appears to be asleep and impossible to revive may startle, jump up, and start shooting -- car or no car. It is a dangerous time to have diabetes, epilepsy, sleeping disorders, etc. People think law enforcement with deadly weapons needs to be summoned, "just in case."

  41. Sounds nice. (Full disclosure: I'm agnostic, but have to admit I have a problem with some atheists.)

  42.  @snakejunt  Yes, and it is heartbreaking. Parents have GOT to say no until their child graduates from high school, and warn warn warn after that. Offers of admission to Harvard have been withdrawn over tweets and such.

  43. There isn't a 14 year old on earth who never did anything they would want to put behind them. Not one.

  44. The part about hard work is interesting, but the conversation takes an odd turn. Musk has five children with his ex-wife and one with his new wife, to whom he didn't give a real name. It's much too soon to say he's a good father, and it's biased to suggest divorced dads aren't great dads. They might be. How about we don't know? That sounds right. Hagiography is not your friend.

  46. https://youtu.be/75BH7F0AqsI Warning: Very strong language. See what David Goggins says about racism. He was being called n***** , threatened with death, had his property repeated vandalized, when Shapiro was a kid in grammar school. He became a Navy Seal and the world's greatest ultra-endurance athlete. As for "the rules today are not racist," Michelle Alexander addressed that in depth. And Shapiro must know that. He's pretending he doesn't.

  48. I hear all about "socialist indoctrination." Do people know "financial engineering" is a major? https://quantnet.com/mfe-programs-rankings/ What do people think is actually happening in the world? I have never hear this mentioned anywhere. What do you think the indoctrination is in those programs?

  49. I have found that ultimately, it is money that makes the difference. ALL of our service members should have all they need. It should NEVER be an issue. Heros like this man are a breed apart. He is immense. Massive respect!

  51. It isn't that this is true. It is that influential people at all levels (including at the very top) believe it. Yes it has effects.

  52. Do you know what rents are today, in 2020? People whose middle-class parents are willing to give them thousands a year for college and living expenses, and who suffer NO discrimination in the workplace, cannot afford to do what you are proposing. And by the way, is a target of discrimination supposed to blame themselves? Does that sound right to you? Why is Breonna Taylor dead? Did police ever "accidentally" break down your door with a no-knock warrant bearing the wrong address? Why was Cariol Horne fired?

  54.  @Daniel_Rood  You need a private shooting range, and that's called success? I wonder what you would have had if your grandparents had encouraged you to study mathematics and physics, and practice a sport that helped train you to lessen the effects of your motion sickness.

  55. Very frustrating to see legitimate questions and conjectures mixed with so much obvious nonsense, and all because of the influence of a European hierarchical view of civilizations and peoples. It's not even true that all European cultures are as hierarchical as, say, the British and the German cultures tend to be.

  56. This is unreal. Do you imagine that a black person who works hard and excels will suddenly be welcomed? What world do you live in? You think black people who are smarter than whites are given big hugs and great jobs? Or that once they get that great job, they'll be treated decently, like everyone else? That is when the real trouble starts. Plus the fear that if anything goes wrong, they will be blamed and they'll never get another chance. Anyone who believes this "opportunity" story knows NO black people. Or maybe they sense your mentality and would never confide in you.

  57. If someone falls asleep in a drive thru trying to obtain food, call an ambulance. You don't know why he won't wake up. He could be a diabetic, for all you know. Let the paramedics determine what the problem is. An impaired driver who got drunk and then drove should have his car impounded. If he does not resist being deprived of his car, why would you even think to use force against him, or interfere with his person in any way? That arrest is "the answer" is nonsense. Liberty is more precious than property. When you take the car and ticket him, everyone stays safe. What more needs to happen? Getting the car back will not be cheap.

  58. Don't be so sure everything she says is true. Verify some of it, especially prescribed speech to psychotherapists in the US, where it raises First Amendment issues, all sorts of prescriptions for minors without parental consent, name change by public schools without parental notification, etc. Also, what may have happened in rare instances may not be what generally happens anywhere. I'm not saying it's false, I'm saying if you have kids, do the research. That said, to me, the idea of depriving a teenager of the opportunity to have children someday sounds criminal, and cultish. The teen cannot know what that will mean to them. It seems like they are eager to risk the fertility of anxious, awkward, nonconforming girls. Sinister.

  59. Jeffrey Epstein had nice looking homes, too.
