[Cross-post from the FB group] What do you guys do for a living? Any of you not satisfied with what you're doing, or want to be doing something that more directly moves the world toward peace and rationality? I've had a pretty good year financially, and I'm looking to reinvest in projects that make the world more awesome. And I'd obviously prefer to work with / employ / empower philosophically-minded friends, if possible. I have a ton of project ideas already, and am open to hearing your ideas too. Almost any skill can be useful, but I'm immediately looking for people with programming, Photoshop, social media, research, and writing skills. The main "qualifications" are reliability, good communication, and commitment, so don't be scared off if you don't think you have any hard skills. Since you're here, I'm guessing you're smarter than the average bear, and you could learn what you need if you're motivated enough. So seriously, let's talk and figure out if we can work together. You can comment here, or feel free to reach out to me privately. --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- At the moment, my most pressing need is for an experienced C++ developer. See my job posting on Indeed, and please forward it to anyone you know who seems qualified (and is located in the right area). We're building charting software for independent stock traders; very competitive salary and benefits available. But as I said, there are a lot of other projects that we could collaborate on. Feel free to *propose* a project, as well. And the more we work together, the faster we can make the world better. So even if you aren't a developer, let's chat!

You don't have to "prove" it, per se. It's in the definition. Some rape victims tell themselves that they want it and that it's not rape. It's obvious that they're just avoiding the pain of being consiously aware of their trauma, and it's just as obvious that most people are doing the same thing with taxes. On the other hand, if the person you are talking with is genuinely enthusiastic about paying for murder, indoctrination, economic destruction, etc., they are probably not safe to debate with. I think most of the time you're dealing with the former case, though.

Do you think the average potential viewer will understand the distinction you're making, if you don't explain it to them first? People who are already philosophers might get it right away, but for a film directed at a wider audience it might not be as clear.

Check it out, some mainstream coverage of good ideas, and a Penguin-published book too! http://www.today.com/id/50991874/site/todayshow/ns/today-books/t/hacking-your-education-build-your-future-your-own-terms/ Dale Stephens was also interviewed on the School Sucks Podcast a few months back. It'd be cool to see an FDR interview [H]
