deadweasel: exactly, more conditioning. I'm saying I'm aware of my own conditioning, to a degree, thank god. but my 'part' would be my perceived 'value' to my 'family' 'nation' etc. We have all sorts of beliefs warping our minds.
mircea_popescu: (yea, that's like three points, what can i say)
deadweasel: i still sometimes believe fi I get a wife and pop a couple kids out, and manage to keep them fed that I've done my 'part'. it's a farce of course.

kakobrekla: >I too agree that in order for Cognitive to be wildly successful like it once was more people need to come on board on the management front, preferably shareholders, because we all have a vested interest in the company succeeding as opposed to contracted workers.
kakobrekla: >I have made some strategic relationships over the weekend and I will be able to make things right with all involved. Not another day will pass with any of my bitcoin affairs being neglected, you can be sure of that.
