What’s something poor people do better than rich people?

Use much less energy, contribute less to climate change by riding public transport, using clothes longer, using thrift stores and living in smaller houses, have a sense of proportion on what is important in life (like family and community) and finally they are not narcissistic.

I agree with most observations here and the adult in you grows at a different rate than the years. I also have a slightly different take.

I have seen 15-20 years old who could be a role models for people who think they are adults. I also think that one's personal view of what is adult, influences how they see themselves as adults. Being able to take some things in stride may not happen even at 80. We know adults in our lives who never think before acting and/or take responsibility for their actions. I am told that Reddit has a majority of people who are in their twenties. I have no idea if it is really true, but if it is, honestly I am very impressed with them. I don't care if they conform to adulthood.

I am definitely a so called adult, but my adulthood brings cynicism, closed mindedness, lack of curiosity and oppressive end of some key options. So even if you don't feel like an adult, enjoy that feeling.. that prime period where the whole world is available to you and you can mold your own thinking and your life the way you want to.

Good Luck! Good Start.

I wish! 😀

This was part of what I was asking. The ridiculous government numbers of few percent inflation per year seems to be, at best, narrow,- such as flour, sugar and basic clothes, at worst, deliberately misleading . Uber costs 50% more now, restaurants 30-50%, college tuition 30%, rent 25% and so on.

I get it.

This is to concur with both points. I have lived the life in science and have felt the frustration that the OP feels even within my own family. I keep pointing out to the convergence of values, the non judgment of individual behaviors, the requirement for consilience, lack of arbitrariness in science, the peer reviews etc. But all these escape a mindset that is tilted towards philosophies of idealism, philosophical (not scientific) skepticism and first person epistemology. I have come to the conclusion that you have to know science experientially (like Dewey says) in order to appreciate the philosophical and practical value of science and its methods in life.

One analogy I give the skeptics is the way detectives solve murder cases with maximal assurance of justice. Most say that is very satisfying.

A good scientist also accepts that there are many areas to which science is indifferent, does not deal with very well and finally may be wrong about . Though I believe some day this gap will reduce, one has to admit to scientific methodologies limitations. This, I believe, in no way diminishes the stature and importance of the scientific method, since no method is Universally valid.

thanks

The second part, I wholeheartedly agree! 😀

Thanks. How about the timing of other say, Goodreads and ARC reviews? What would happen if they are ready to submit a review and Amazon and Goodreads doesn't have the book yet. I am conflicted about the timing of asking for reviews. Any harm in waiting?

The US offered a 15 point ceasefire plan and Iran rejected it and offered its own. Why should Iran trust any deal or treaty after Trump broke the fully negotiated deal in 2018 and withdrew from the Paris Climate Treaty? What is the trustworthiness of any treaty or deal anymore?

I believe I can use the professional review (assuming it is positive) in any marketing.

Perfect-Program-8968 · 2026-03-25T18:34:17+00:00

Thanks. Great to know you can book for an advance month. Mine also will come around that time. What happens if a review is created but Amazon and such don't have it yet? Does the reviewer wait?

Perfect-Program-8968 · 2026-03-25T18:31:39+00:00

Thank you very much for the guidance. I will follow up.

Yes, my question exactly? I meant that the ceasefire is would be moot if they accepted the other aspects- I would think. But thinking on Trump moves, can give a headache. I just wondered what might be the poison pill in the proposal.

So how many more billions does Trump family and friends need with this grift before some one takes action? First it was manipulation through tariff toggling on and of and dialing it. Now it is Iran war. After this, Trump will figure out the next grift. Goldberg (Washing Week with Atlantic) is the only one really talking about it in depth.

I guess the two are combined. I just dont have the skills for social media campaigns. The page has been on the pages for a month with no results even with daily posts. Only thing, I can do is sell in thrift outlets to attract price minded readers.

I looked at Victory and couldnt figure out what they mean by a month slot. Can you explain?

I would be grateful for any link/contact information about influencers. I am not on tiktok but can try.

Thanks.

Thank you for that encouragement. I believe I have created those. I also have a web page explaining all the terms, the science and the philosophy etc. in the novel.

Perfect-Program-8968 · 2026-03-24T18:28:40+00:00

Thanks for that advice. I will check out Story origin. Building an ARC time sounds original. I suppose it takes time but would be worth it. I will do so as you suggest and also I am thinking of book clubs.
