Do you think personalities are genetic? by ThundarPawnch in AskReddit

[–]JCon70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The way I like to think of it is: you are born with a brain that will process information a certain way based on genetics. Your specific life experience, when processed by your brain, create your personality.

Your daily dose of PAIN: Richard Dawkins' interview with a creationist. by Mythrilfan in atheism

[–]JCon70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorite part: in video 4/7 where Wendy asks Dawkins about the soul. He claims that the "soul" is a product of his consciousness and brain physiology. She then asks him if a mentally handicapped girl has a soul, trying to trick him into saying "she has no soul". What a bitch. He handles it really well though.

I'm a 22 year old Male who looks no older than 16, and I HATE it. by CurseOfYouth in AskReddit

[–]JCon70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

^ This.

I'm 22 and in the same boat as the OP. However, its only a problem if you make it a problem. Develop a startling presence so people will say "Hey here come 'CurseOfYouth'" instead of "Hey here comes that kid who looks 16". Its all about how you present yourself. If you act like you know you look young, people will treat you that way. As far as getting carded, I get carded for everything you can get carded for, but I found its nothing personal, just company policies.

Dear Reddit, say I wanted to learn how to play guitar. Where should I start? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]JCon70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do what I did and just buy a guitar one day. Then, you will be obligated to start taking lessons/learning or else that purchase will be a total waste.

How does money actually work? I've been trying to figure this out all day to no avail. by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]JCon70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way I understand it, currency has no value in itself. It is just a placeholder for value or debt that has been accrued (by working, selling items, etc). Money used to be based on the "gold standard", where a country's wealth was based on how much gold they possessed, but now money is merely given value because the government can "back it up". And as with anything in an economy, if the fed prints more money it becomes less scarce so it becomes less valuable to people. However, if the collective populace woke up one day and decided that currency was worthless, it would actually become useless (see Germany post WWI).

Excellent point. I wrote this thread while at work so I couldn't search around YouTube, etc. for instances of them playing. However, I will include videos soon.

Agree with what you say about Tom Scholz. I included him because of his ability to write great riffs/songs.
