Is that where "builds character" comes from?

It is how you learn to cope. It does not mean you necessary end up as overall better person. This is about people who are on edge of being dysfunctional due to issues happening to them.

Independently produce creative work that is of massive value to others. I know it's very general and vague but it seems logical to me.

That usually works if you can find something that (1) you can do (2) is valuable and in demand.

Do you have a good heuristic for finding something valuable to do that meets these criteria?

Seems like everything worth doing has been done or is capital intensive to get into.

I am mechanically inclined and have all the tools and a garage (inherited) to work on cars in maybe I can buy wrecks and fix them up. I am not too good at sales though and there is a lot of regulatory burden to get set up. Not to mention zoning and other stuff. Maybe it is worth looking into...

With interest rates so low these days though almost anybody can finance a new or newer car and it kind of hurts used car dealers but then again with covid there is more demand for cars from people leaving cities.

But the work is hard and dirty and not quite as lucrative as a best selling book...lol.

It would seem obvious to a layman that you must be "practicing" to be an "entity" that's allowed to "defend" against "infringement"

This has an implicit metaphysics that remains un-examined.

The easy reason is that nobody would know that name and why click on something that doesn't strike your fancy?

Oh please, it would've been extremely easy to title it "The Life of Einstein's First Wife, Mileva Marić," and thereby make it clearer she was a notable person in her own right, not for merely being Einstein's wife, to even a casual reader who didn't click through.

I’m sure “Einstein” would help people figure it out.

Whatever makes us feel better, right?

Reality is essentially unverifiable at this point, so ... nuke Russia?

It's not that that's what I want, I just can't find a way to know what's real.

This is honestly the scariest part of living in 2020

How about just going to more non-existence?

Do you feel capable of that level of leadership?

I sure don't.

One of the chief causes of my perennial suicidal ideation is the inability to even take care of myself, let alone be a leader of an actualized life or anyone else for that matter.

If you wait for yourself to be capable, you aren’t growing my friend.

Mission accomplished? (Accelerating the transition)

I'm curious about the details of how a trailer in an alley could almost kill you, were you going highway speeds down an alley?

How close did you come to colliding with it before your eyes and brain prevented this?

I am also confused by this. Alleys (at least in California and Texas) have speed limits of 15 mph.

Doesn't every car come with a, "if you crash from not paying attention, we are not liable"

The promise of self driving isn't that you can not pay attention, at least not yet.

In fact the user experience of FSD is that you must continue to pay attention.

Having an engaged driver monitoring the FSD system is _part of how we develop this tech_ it's how it advances, from human guidance and intervention on error.

Beta users are effectively the trainers for the last-mile aspects of FSD that are still in development.

As long as Tesla makes this clear, I don't see a problem with it. The problem will always be the people who don't RTFM or who don't follow the rules and guidelines, and win Darwin awards for the hubris/negligence.

> Doesn't every car come with a, "if you crash from not paying attention, we are not liable"

The other cars having to drive next to this car in the road don't get a warning!

So no different than the status quo, the human is responsible in both cases and the other road users don’t get any warnings the human is being irresponsible in either case
