Any people or group here in vancouver or victora going to the night for freedom in washington dc? thanks

ff Sorry man. somehow I failed to see this first response. Yeah, thanks a lot for the advice, I do suck at writing btw hehe. Would you mind sharing your blogs? thanks

Thanks Jos for your interest I hope we can connect more for this goal. I'm interested too in what you and maybe more people who would find this thread to what kinds of goals they want to meet. When it comes to circles, I've tried a lot to find people locally and Trump has always been the litmus test.. and holy s**t that tells a lot. Hehe, If possible, maybe people here in the forums, at least people who can connect to fdr can be more productive and more.. conversation worthy when it comes to this goal. This thread basically is my starting ground to build a new circle for everyone who shares the same goal to connect to. I can make a private fb group so we can connect to each other faster and more conveniently.

like online stores like drop shipping or affiliates

I have info on techniques to bypass or ignore youtube revenue.. making it like a bonus. There are lots of ways to earn money online aside from youtube.

producing any online content? but cant? because its hard to produce something that grandiose when you're sort of alone? Its really difficult to be creative when theres no feedback, at least thats what i'm finding out. I'm interested in creating a circle at least for now for any aspiring online creators so at least we can give each other some tips or feedbacks for our plans. Looking forward to hear from you guys

hey man! welcome to the forums! i live in victoria bc!

whats your budget?

@JD - "I can't count the number of LAN parties that I've helped run and attended over the years. I don't recall a single moment when the NAP or Socrates was mentioned, let alone discussed at length" well.. cause they are your close friends.. (I'm nobody.. at least when I enter it) If games are distractions.. why not be part of it and slip in some philosophy in it. @Lux - yeah I got your invite! cant catch you online though.. Lol @shirgal - is bacon your steam name or shirgall?

Stanley Parable is a really good game to start with. Check it out, it will freak you out. Its a story about a guy in stasis.. freeze.. in a flight or flight scenario. When something different happened in his everyday same old life. Games have to be picky when it comes to this agenda. I can pre record a thought/topic and mute the game and I play while people listen to my content audio. since its live, after the game is done, the final product will be published on youtube etc. What do you think?

oh my! thanks very much all the input! I really appreciate it, plus you guys responded really fast! haha! @Neel - Yeah, the niche is tiny, but wasn't that the case too when FDR started? There are programs where strangers can join in the conversation like teamspeak, while playing, while streaming.. while recording, (it sounds a bit complicated but when it comes to technicality, it can work.). It's not limited to the game it self, but there can be some serious talks after playing the game, (which i think is the catch). It's not written in stone but that's the idea. Thanks for the input @JD - Saying that videogames are anti philosophy is like saying that sports is anti philosophy. Twitch, like youtube, facebook etc.. are tools of social media. I'm simply being creative in the method I will use to promote the thing that I love, philosophy mainly, and videogames. So, why not both? It's not the game you play, it's the act of gaming itself. thanks for you input as well. Let me know if it makes sense.. haha! thanks for your input as well @lux - yeah, haha! if you're interested in sharing some thoughts, I'd be happy to hear it, or talk about it, haha! wanna exchange skype or facebook? if anyone in this thread are interested, add me on facebook its at [email protected] thanks! @yeravos - yeah! lets play sometime, my steam name is shaideruppercut, haha! I have games I really like to play.. DOTA2 and other resident evil games, but it's not really limited to those games, it's twitch.. its any game you feel like playing basically that day.. haha! @bacon - haha! yeah, I remember that podcast, If you spend your time a lot on something, you will be really good at it, but you'll somewhat sacrifice being good at something else. The problem is not being worried about the things you might be good at something else, but to focus on things you want to be good at in the moment. Philosophy and videogames. Plus! The opportunity to earn money too! So why not both?? It's a win - win - win -win. Irwin haha! 1st, you get to talk about pilosophy, 2nd you get to play videogames, 3rd, you learn something new everyday, 4th people learn from you! be it playing a videogame or philosophy! haha! Let me hear your thoughts! thanks again! Irwin

I have an idea! Does anyone here plays steam games and are familiar with twitch? we're gonna play online games anyways, so why not combine both!? Talk about philosophy while playing games, I mean.. there's a huge niche in the realm of gaming when it comes to people watching live shows. any thoughts? cheers!

Haha! I was 25 when I went to college again to for psychology.. and took philosophy courses as electives.. my marxist.. I was a gadfly in all those courses, especially at my politics class. I was compared to socrates in a philosophy class with an insult as the intention.. and was told by my professor in politics that my comments and questions are high level thinking when I introduce the simple idea of voluntarism. Guess what their reaction was when one of them said that human nature is evil thats why we need government and I responded to thats more reason to not have a government?? I've experienced the effects of propaganda at its most purest form. thats why I gave up continuing that school.

Thank you guys for all the input I just discovered a website that sells a 3d printer at around 300$-400$ with decent reviews. Well I always strikes me to how the printer is going to be really useful when the dollar collapse. I don't know how its going to be useful but I have a feeling that it will be. haha! I can throw in that much money for a 3d printer. I'm always buying gold and silver on a website everytime their shipping cost is free. 3d printer consumables has gone down.. at least according to this website http://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?catId=0&initiative_id=AS_20150503021555&SearchText=3d+printer+filament at least its more cheaper that a regular printer ink right? Well it takes some brain power to operate pretty much anything that has been normalized.. like driving.. and a computer! it takes a little bit of an attitude towards the approach.. most old people I know have already convinced them selves that computers arent for them.. including a smart phone. With a 3d printer I can make my own custom desktop casing haha!

How about.. philosophy is sexy?
