Jun 25 2012: Well, I'm 28 and about to start a new chapter in my life, I'm far from having the full picture,but here's what I've learned so far:
1) Never associate yourself or befriend anyone out of pity or someone that is beneath you. It may happen accidentally, but once detected, break off the relationship immediately.
2) We are all essentially apes with iphones. Though our technology, culture and society have advanced exponentially we still bear many animal instincts that we'll likely have for a long time to come. Proper application of this knowledge as a reality filter has great predictive power.
3) We are spiritual beings. I'm not sure how or why, but we are.
4) The meaning of life may be to have as many fit offspring as possible so that one day some distant progeny may actually know what the meaning of life is
Jun 20 2012: I feel like Americans get all hot and bothered about stuff that doesn't matter OR all Americans are actually closet homos. Because if you're not homosexual, who actually cares about all this?
Also: rest of the world to America > don't take the bible literally, it's a book.
Jun 14 2012: Firstly, it's the magna carter which was signed in 1215 before the USA existed, so the statement you made above is incorrect.
Secondly, it doesn't take 100's of years to form a great city anymore. Look at China, Singapore, HK. Rome is in fact not an economic player and hasn't been for thousands of years, Romer is trying to making economic centers not cultural ones (that takes time).
