DonOms:So true, whatever a rich person says is considered as wisdom, even if is the most absurd thing ever. And yeah, Tesla took it too far, guy died alone, that's no way to live. 2 Likes |

oyetpel:yeah you are right. Here in Nigeria, we also practise collectivist culture where the rights of the family or collective supersedes that of the individual. There is fear of rejection by the family and each person is encouraged to do what is best for the family or society as a whole rather than for themselves. But the west practises individualistic culture where Independence is valued; there is much less of a drive to help other citizens or communities than in collectivism. Relying or being dependent on others is frequently seen as shameful, and young people are encouraged to do things on their own; to rely on themselves. So like you said, unless a young person is rich, he is stuck with whatever society dictates for him. |

Slimtuns:That's society for you. "The mind is sharper and keener in seclusion and uninterrupted solitude. Originality thrives in seclusion free of outside influences beating upon us to cripple the creative mind." - Nikola Tesla. Society is robbing people, especially young people of a lot of things. 1. Choice:The choice to be single, to not be on social media, to be a nerd, to get high and marvel Diotima's ladder of love or to be an atheist. Society robs the youth from thinking, from questioning women at the bus stops who are ing out Jesus flyers or who want you to attend NASFAT about them briefly explaining platonism and via Socrates dialectic method, opening their eyes. Faith is the new lust. Society wants everyone, not just the youths, not just introverts alone, to bow down, to give in to their demands. 2. Being ourselves. We are scared to have an opinion because if you are a Trump er for example, you are automatically a racist bigot. We are scared to end up on the losing side. We are scared to take opportunity because being an opportunist is bad and it is better to be unnoticed according to society. To be the majority, to be like everyone else is safer. We must have a label on our head. She is a lesbian, he is gay, he is too feminine, she is too masculine. We judge and are afraid to be judged. We are ive aggressive. We are afraid to speak up. We are afraid of "no" and failure. We are afraid of living, just crossing off the days in the calendar, in anticipation of what? Death? Don't live like that bro. 3. Love. Our society is now fast food everywhere. In each aspect of it, food. It has to be fast. It has to be a drive thru. Love? Screw that. Who wants a mortgage, a commitment, and old wrinkly wife with a tummy that's already pushed out four kids. It's better to have a fling, to have a moment of lust, to say "I love you" just after four weeks of dating. Dating is the new marriage, you dont believe me? Look around you. We stopped caring and acknowledging true beauty. We are even dumb to not know that all bodies are similar, we are contaminated with short term gratification. I was raised a muslim, mum's a Christian though, catholic, I can speak Arabic almost like a mother's tongue, also went to catholic school, but religion wasn't it for me. That was a choice, you make yours. 9 Likes 1 Share |

blackmarya:These days I stopped caring. If anyone makes up their mind about the kind of person I am without meeting me first, all the best to them. There was a time when I would avoid some paths so as not to run into certain people, but these days, I don't care anymore. When I go to events and someone points at me to address the crowd, I step up calmly and say whatever I have to say like I've known them forever, not giving a damn. Also when I don't feel like going out with anyone, I let them know right away, saves me the hassle of stressing myself. Whoever tries to please people all the time ends up unhappy himself/herself. 11 Likes 1 Share |

Deicide:fortnight is graphically demanding, even new phones like the redmi note 9s a friend just bought, he was locked at 30fps. He hasn't tried with gfx tools though. My cousin uses spark 4, it didn't even launch. 2 Likes |

TheOdd1sOut:Their phones are for tech illiterates, their fans either don't know better or don't care. They are satisfied with crap. The last transsion device I used was hot 6x. That phone nearly made me lose my sanity. My friends and I would team up to play pubg and I would always be the one begging them not to push as my gameplay was lagging terribly. The only way to get chicken dinner was to camp. The last time I played pubg on it, I had the last guy in the sights of my scope. He wasn't even looking in my direction, a very easy kill it would have been. I zoomed in on him, said a silent prayer and pulled the trigger, guess what? I ended up dead instead. I quit the game in anger and didn't play for nearly a month. 62 Likes 2 Shares |

GRIMMJOE:Exactly. The fact that there are earth like planets in habitable zones, 550 light years away too far for current telescopes to handle, let alone next generation of telescopes shows we still have a lot to figure out about the universe. But some people think they have it all figured it in a text that claims the earth is five thousand years old. I basically stopped arguing with religious people because, you can't explain anything to anyone that has abandoned logic. My childhood interest in astronomy and how the earth began in the first place made me an agnostic atheist. While I do not believe in the existence of any deity, it seems to me that the universe lies and will always lie beyond the grasps of any intellectuals on earth, I may be wrong though. Growing up and reading a lot about space travel and such, I was marvelled at the incredible observations by so many scientists of all times and the greatness of the human mind, I was also appalled at how insignificant and transient human beings were on a grand scale. The sun in the sky, more than a million times bigger than the planet we are living on is only one of the 300 billions in the Milky Way Galaxy, which in turn is only one of the billions of galaxies in the universe. In addition, multiverse proponents say there may even be multiple universes. It amuses when people say they are going to heaven when they die. Which heaven, and in which universe? Just as the many questions I had, how life started on earth, how the mind works, and what is the nature of time and consciousness? Philosophers and scientists have grappled with these questions for thousands of years. The universe is so inherently and profoundly complex that I believe it will elude human understanding forever, I may be wrong though. It is depressing to think there are hard limits in human beings, and nothing demonstrates this better than the continued search for knowledge and curiosity, not indoctrination. 5 Likes |
