Thanks ! It's too funny, as i posted that in a coffee shop I ran into a Spanish meetup and joined in! Bitcoins not something I've looked into much, but i do plan on it.

I've got interest in sales, shipping and logistics. I'm sorry but I really don't know what exactly I'm going to persue, but I shall explore (knowing that I need to continue the development of my skillset). Thanks!

hi everybody, hope you're well. i'm currently unemployed, which is new for me. But the good news is, I've saved enough money (by switching to Geico?) and positioned myself so that basically i can easily relocate to find a career. i don't want to go to college (i'm 24) because i think it's too expensive. I want to just find a good situation where I feel safe working, with room to improve and expand opportunities. I kind of want to get a job that involves international travel (it would not have to pay much). I'm prone to travelling, as I think Doug Casey and his research think-tank is on to something; there being opportunities abroad. A long time (now layed off) flight attendant i know says that nobody is hiring international attendants. I don't know what exactly I want to do.With time while job-searching, I would like to learn Spanish. I'm not sure if that's the best way to spend time, while I'm listening to Stef's podcasts, reading, in bi-weekly therapy and whatnot, but does anyone have advise i.e. best way to learn a language? I'm open to suggestions. Thanks for reading-Colby

Hi there Matt- thank you for that.

thanks R- i hope to embrace the experience. Both the pain of the past, and the hopeful joy of the future.

Greetings to all- i want to share that I've started therapy. I'm happy to say so, as it's been a long time coming to this point. Religion has had it's costs and benefits as a coping mechanism, resulting in my being alone for the most part, which is unfortunate because I much enjoy working with and meeting people. Religion helped me totally separate from my FOO, and now that I've gotten out of a fundamentalist church, off to therapy i go! I'm thinking about finding a new job because management is out of control and it would be nice to have some self-dignity. i hope you're all doing well thanks for reading.

awesome - appreciated man

Is this the Classic series you speak of? I appreciate your recommendation.https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL302FFA31BBE44FC7

thanks Kevin- I'm definitely exploring the arguments for atheism. I did read "Against the Gods". I'm coming from having experienced fundamental "Christianity", and right now I'm attempting to develop some self-knowledge and examine just about everything. After a neglectful childhood and volatile adolescence, and then entering into fundamental Bible practice and eventually becoming ostracized from that, i now find myself struggling to navigate, but I'm happy to start applying reason and evidence and develope principles and virtue with philosophy. I'm going to try therapy as well. To your question of whether I'm religious, no; I wouldn't say that I'm religious. Since becoming "marked and avoided" by the Church, i'm not seeking to join another, for i realize Christianity generally doesn't have integrity (neither had i). I realized as proven by studying the Bible, most who profess belief thereof are hypocrites, and since rebelling myself, I'm not interested in subjecting myself to Bible teaching anymore , but rather examination of my beliefs according to fist principals.

Hi Stefan and everybody! I'm Colby, and I've been following FDR for quite a while, and much more so recently. I originally came across some "Truth About" videos, particularly "There's no such thing as mental illness ". I appreciated the objective approach, and the factual presentation resonated well. I subscribed, and as time went on, I kept coming back. I enjoy the tackleing of big issues i find here. I'm listening to older podcasts now, reading the books, and still keeping up with the new material. I can't seem to get enough! About me: 24, working at a trucking co in KY, single, I got kicked out of a Church for an unwillingness to be pastored, or be dictated to and abused. I'm slowly reading "Against the Gods?". I don't speak much with my family. I'm pretty independent, and want to improve my self-knowledge, and seek out more healthy relationships with others. I'm glad to be here and hope you all are well - Colby
