What's the value of a course?
The-Krzyz comments on Dec 14, 2018:
Agree with the other comments so far. It really depends on how you seek to use your knowledge. In the professional world, typically the degree from accredited institutions has the most credibility, especially in a competitive hiring process or in bureaucracies. Otherwise, knowledge -even wisdom - can be found in many, often surprising places, as can some really great teachers. In some professions, a degree is not as valuable as a good track record of having the skills to apply your knowledge. In the US, sadly, many formerly fine universities have become glorified trade schools. For some of us, however, knowledge is about more than monetization. Two of the most educated people I know are self-educated.

Is there life after divorce?
The-Krzyz comments on Dec 12, 2018:
YES, if, as in my case, you were in a dysfunctional marriage. Not to say there weren’t good aspects, some of which I miss. BUT, the negative eventually outweighed the positive, and I probably stayed in the marriage for a few years longer than was healthy for me (sometimes I do the wrong things for all the right reasons). Now, I can appreciate the freedom from being so close to a person who is very judgemental of others, has no boundaries, but has all the solutions to everyone else's predicaments. After the divorce, my horizons opened up again! Life goes on, regardless ...

Although I was born in the US, my parents were Eastern European refugees and, in my early years, I was brought up in a very Old World way. It was only in American schools that my assimilation took place ... incompletely. So, I’m conflicted. Part of me says “Stop picking on us, you belligerent Canadian bullies!” While the other half totally understands, approves, and questions if it’s sporting because it’s just way too easy to do. (BTW: “Bare arms” — wonderful!)

I haven’t shared in the author’s experiences, and so don’t share her conclusions. Personally, I find dating easier and less pressured now that I’m an elder. Firstly, the imperative to breed is gone. Secondly, because I have experienced and observed so many different types of friendships, “relationships,” and diverse human interactions over the years, I no longer think of an ideal or perfect type of connection to another person. That doesn’t mean I don’t have preferences and/or standards. But I feel that there are lots of ways it can look, and many more possibilities to explore.

The-Krzyz comments on Dec 11, 2018:
I’ve read this and similar studies and it seems to me that what can be truly destructive is social isolation, of which lonliness can be a result. We are deeply social creatures, and have been so since before we became modern humans. We use each other as reference points and reality checks, and without that sort of contact and feedback, our judgement suffers and perspective narrows. Our greatest achievements have been collaborative (science, for instance). Downside can be groupthink, peer pressure and social dysfunctions, but I’ll risk those and would rather deal with them as opposed to missing all the intellectual, material and emotional possibilities my fellow human beings can offer.

Gossip is potentially useful information that is socially discouraged, or discouraged by authorities, because of its subversive and uncontrolled nature.

Are you pro "choice" or pro "life"?
The-Krzyz comments on Dec 3, 2018:
A lot of my political work centers on the concept of rights. I think choice is fundamental in any democratic society.

I don't hold many grudges anymore. I can't, my memory is shit these days!

Try those little Japanese sodoku puzzles. They really help with memory, because as we age, deeply held grudges become precious, and a well-executed plan of vengeance is very empowering.

By whose standards? Your own, others’ or what you suspect others think? (BTW: I grew up in a neighborhood in which “bad” could mean good, if not admirable or worthy of respect. I achieved “badness” around high school age, and have aspired to “badassedness” ever since. It’s like Level 7 on this site.)

Totally explainable, more by mechanics than science. Most decent magicians can figure it out, if not replicate such tricks, and have been doing that at least since the days of Harry Houdini. James Randi, in our own time, has specialized in debunking this stuff. The tricks themselves are pretty cool; it’s the way they are often used to deceive and exploit people that is offensive.
