But that's just a book and its like just reading a book for programming. You have to find a way to put it in practise.
I firmly believe that every society needs to embody some type of short term service for youth to strip away the idea of individualism, and allow them to rebuild only after experiencing working and helping out others. Doesn't need to be the armed forces, just something to hammer into them that you need to work together and look after buddy.
For me I think joining the reserves at a young age (16) cured me of a lot of selfishness. That might be unrealistic to you but sports teams, volunteer groups (Rotary, Lions Club, heck even Toastmasters) help garner this dynamic.
Have you lived in a small community before? You might think you don't like people, but you might realize you don't like people in big cities/companies/stressful environments.
All the best

- It would be a good comedy and satire to see an entity like the ADL rave and cheer for certain ideas. Then again, he admits some people might not find it funny.
Thank you Mr. Cohen, my new favourite character ;)
In addition I am curious on your opinion and that of others on if a line should be draw and what characteristics that line is to be drawn on.
Good video:
I am going to make a broad generalization that most of our readers are located between Eastern and Pacific time. I would expect most activity to happen during common down times in the work day (eg. after lunch, post scrum). I think this is essential for generating meaningful and well thought responses.
Perhaps you can do some time analysis on some of the most successful Ask HN threads and tell us your findings :)
Also popular threads like "Who's hiring/firing etc" always happen at the beginning of the month, am now programmed to expect those.
Best of luck
I can see people creating their own subreddit just for their own mini virtual exhibits.
Somehow that one sentence shivered me as I imagined a crowd of happy people surrounding a car with bottomed out suspension.
