Jul 1 2012: To be young is to squander time on meaningless exercises. "I got plenty of time," you say. 12698
Jul 1 2012: Most professional photographers are staging artists. They can set up wedding photos, but they can't dive into chaos to find meaning. 12699

Jul 1 2012: If you tell people, "We will give you unlimited free medical care for being poor," you have given them a powerful incentive to remain poor. 12702
Jul 1 2012: Whenever you offer people a "safety net" you are giving them permission to use it routinely rather than protecting themselves. 12703
Jul 1 2012: Medical science is always coming up with clever new ways to keep people alive at huge cost. At some point, no economy can support it. 12704

Jul 1 2012: @rongillmore I'm afraid I'm a dick. The problem is not a lack of compassion but how to pay for it. 12707
Jul 1 2012: Every food deed has an addiction factor. If you help someone, will they come to expect it and stop helping themselves? 12708
Jul 1 2012: The Right has nutcases like Limbaugh and Beck. The Left has fruitloops who think compassion can overrule economics. 12709
Jul 1 2012: .@rongillmore Oh, you mean Communism. Sure, that will work! 12710
Jul 1 2012: If you took the wealth of the 1% and distributed it to the 99%, 90% of the 99% would blow it on impulse purchases and be broke by Monday. 12711
Jul 2 2012: The silent subtext of protests everywhere: "Somebody must take care of us." 12712
Jul 2 2012: RT @ShitYoungPplSay: Why should 1% of population control 99% of the resources? 12713

Jul 2 2012: If aliens landed in a field beside the highway, many motorists would turn their heads but few would stop their cars. 12717
Jul 2 2012: Curiosity is the impulse to explore any anomaly in ones environment. Children possess it naturally, but in most adults it has burned out. 12718
Jul 2 2012: Most adults lack curiosity because they've already committed themselves to a certain truth and can't tolerate the possibility of any other. 12719
Jul 2 2012: Adolescents are free to question anything because they are not yet committed to anything. 12720
Jul 2 2012: If you let too many people into your lifeboat, it will sink and no one will be saved. 12721
Jul 2 2012: There's no accounting for sexual attraction. What lights someone's fire could look like a loaf of bread to the rest of us. 12722
Jul 2 2012: Sexual fantasies are usually shattered as soon as the object of your desire speaks freely and reveals their true personality. 12723
Jul 2 2012: Sexual attraction, once indulged, usually reveals itself as temporary insanity. 12724
Jul 2 2012: Sexual attraction can start a relationship but it cannot sustain it. 12725
Jul 2 2012: You cannot support someone unconditionally without in some way enabling their addictions. 12726
Jul 2 2012: The usual post-romantic revelation is a palm slap to the forehead. "What was I thinking?" 12727
Jul 2 2012: Young adulthood is a land of cocky self-confidence based mainly on theory. 12728

Jul 3 2012: You meet a man hitting himself on the head with a board and ask, "Why?" He says, "I can't help it." Then you shake your head and walk away. 12757
Jul 3 2012: There are many people you want to help but can't. Their problems are self-created and can only be solved from within. 12758
Jul 3 2012: Whenever you try to help someone who is self-destructing, you run the risk of enabling them. Now they can blame you. 12759

Jul 4 2012: Science is a religion based on the unproven assumption that more knowledge is always good. 12783
Jul 5 2012: Was the Theory of Relativity good for mankind or bad? Would anything have been lost if its discovery had been delayed? 12784
Jul 5 2012: Theoretical physics is the infinite, open-ended quest for more powerful Weapons of Mass Destruction. 12785
Jul 5 2012: Extraterrestrial life probably exists, but it isn't clear that finding it will help our planet. It could destroy it! So why rush? 12786
Jul 5 2012: Astronomy is a religion that believes exploring the stars is more valuable than addressing the problems of earth. 12787
Jul 5 2012: Scientific "progress" will not stop until it gives everyone on Earth to power to build atomic bombs and breed lethal germs. 12788

Jul 5 2012: .@nipath11 Good one! Birth control is the only scientific advance that seems unquestionably good for mankind. 12801
Jul 5 2012: Birth control is one scientific advance that should have saved the world. Why, then, is the world population still exploding? 12802
Jul 5 2012: .@Sthetica Let me rephrase the question: Name one scientific discovery that has improved life on Earth. 12803
Jul 5 2012: Good ones! ==> RT @Sthetica Nonstick pans. Vaccines. Solar panels. Water purification. Non-shattering glass. 12804
Jul 5 2012: Vaccines. Good, right? Assure that more children survive into adulthood so they can reproduce. Result: overpopulation. 12805
Jul 5 2012: Medical science SEEMS to be an improvement for humanity, until you consider the systemic effects. 12806
Jul 5 2012: Each new improvement in cancer treatment saves lives... and increases the cost of medical care so fewer people have access to it. 12807
Jul 5 2012: An argument can be made for environment science, where we are trying to undo the damage caused by previous scientific "advances". 12808

Jul 5 2012: How can scientists continue to subdivide the atom knowing there are predators right behind them ready to weaponize and exploit it? 12810
Jul 5 2012: Theoretical scientists like to see their pursuit as "pure" because they aren't personally making weapons out of their discoveries. 12811
Jul 5 2012: "Once they go up who cares where they come down? That's not my department, says Werner Von Braun." 12812
Jul 5 2012: The government funding particle physics is like it funding the Catholic Church. This is a religious pursuit, not for the public good. 12813
Jul 5 2012: Science is more rational in its methods than religion, but its motivation is still an assumption taken on faith: More knowledge is better. 12814
Jul 5 2012: Pure science is an infinite pursuit that will absorb whatever funding you give it. At what point do you cut it off? 12815

Jul 5 2012: Much of human behavior consists of throwing obstacles in ones own path which then have to be overcome. 12819
Jul 5 2012: If you are moving ahead with one mind and in one direction, you are already ahead of 99% of humanity. 12820
Jul 5 2012: So sad to watch people sabotage themselves. You want to say, "Stop it!" but that only makes them angry. 12821
Jul 5 2012: In the end, the only person you can depend on to use their intelligence is you. 12822
Jul 5 2012: The most important element in intelligence is a willingness to take control of your own life. 12823
Jul 5 2012: Technology can be a powerful tool in the hands of a smart, well-motivated operator. To others, it is just new forms of distraction. 12824
Jul 5 2012: Technology does not improve the world. It just changes it, creating new problems to replace the old ones. 12825
Jul 5 2012: If any scientist tells you his research might solve world hunger, he doesn't understand world hunger. 12826
Jul 5 2012: You can't wait for technological solutions to the world's problems or your own. You have to move ahead with what you have now. 12827

Jul 5 2012: Initiative is the ability to initiate meaningful actions on ones own and not simply respond to outside demands. It is rare in humans. 12842
Jul 5 2012: We admire people who take initiative to improve their own lives or resolve potential problems before they become crises. 12843
Jul 5 2012: Initiative is having foresight—the ability to anticipate future events—and acting upon this knowledge now. 12844
Jul 5 2012: Employers usually prize employees with initiative—unless this is a moribund organization that cannot tolerate change. 12845
Jul 5 2012: Initiative seems to arise from certain parts of the brain, which grow larger and more complex as more independent actions are practiced. 12846
Jul 5 2012: People with high initiative will organize their free time into meaningful projects. Those with low initiative watch a lot of television. 12847
Jul 5 2012: The first parts of the brain drugs seem to damage are the initiative centers. It is hard to get addicts to DO anything. 12848
Jul 5 2012: If you know a pothead, you probably know him as someone who lacks initiative (except to legalize pot). 12849
Jul 5 2012: The opposite of initiative is passivity. That's when you respond to your environment and repeat past behaviors but don't start anything new. 12850
Jul 5 2012: Most humans are highly passive, responding to events but rarely initiating them. 12851
Jul 5 2012: The fact that your life is very busy does not mean you are taking initiative. Passivity can lead to busyness as well. 12852
Jul 5 2012: Do not confuse activity with initiative. They are different things. 12853
Jul 5 2012: Initiative is deviating from previous patterns to better address the unexpected opportunities of today and anticipated problems of tomorrow. 12854
Jul 5 2012: The hardest form of initiative is changing your own patterns of behavior. It usually seems much easier to keep doing what you're doing. 12855
Jul 5 2012: Inertia says a body tends to keep moving in the same direction unless force is applied to change it. This is especially true with humans. 12856
Jul 5 2012: For most people, there is a huge gulf between recognizing you should change and actually changing. 12857
Jul 5 2012: If you want an excuse for not changing, you can always find one. The purpose of the excuse is to reassure you that no change is possible. 12858
Jul 5 2012: "I'm too old to change now," is an excuse almost anyone can use, regardless of age. Even teenagers have been heard to say it. 12859
Jul 5 2012: "I have tried to change but I can't," is a self-fulfilling assertion. It means you have stopped trying. 12860
Jul 5 2012: An easy way to avoid change is rearrange your perception so none is necessary. You made all the right choices and "wouldn't change a thing." 12861
Jul 5 2012: Is the Twinkie in your hand forcing you to eat it, or do you have a choice? 12862
Jul 5 2012: Mind over matter: If you believe you control your own actions, then you will. If you believe you can't, then you won't. 12863
Jul 5 2012: We sympathize with someone held down by others, less so for someone who perpetuates his own problems, yet the distinction is rarely clean. 12864
