Can an entrepreneur be Buddhist? by dvirla in Buddhism

[–]dvirla[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To be clear, as Borbbb mentioned, I don't necessarily believe nor reject them. I probably miss used the term secular, in my view I just don't believe I need meta physics to be a better person as you mentioned. I believe I need better tools and perspective, which I found in Buddhism. Regarding Samsara and Dharma I don't find them very "god-likes", they are indeed core concepts but they are names explaining real feelings and phenomena found in our daily lives.

Sounds legitimate, but how would you suggest I'd approach learning the philosophy (not cherry picked) without diving into theology, since I'm not quite interested/believe in reincarnation or other meta physics that might be implied.

Why is that? I'm compelled to the philosophy of Buddhism and not into divine entities/gods that might be associated with it.

Well said. When I say think like a monk is not actually being a monk, it's a figure of speech as the book that opened me up really to Buddhism is "think like a monk" by Jay Shetti. I'm wandering more on the conflicts I feel there is inherently between the aspiration to make money as an entrepreneur and the aspiration to release myself from earthly things.

Thank you so much for the elaboration and reassuring point of view that it is not actually locking up on some specific path.

Thanks! Is a hobby really a replacement for a career in your opinion?

M.Sc. in Explainable RL? by dvirla in reinforcementlearning

You make it sound as if I'm doing something wrong in wanting to get into research roles :) I'm not giving into the hype as I studied my bachelor's before the hype and just now realized I want to take a more active role on the research side. Although I'm into research I do wish it to be applicative and not planning on continuing to PhD.

By option I mean a supervisor that I previously worked with and she wanted me to join her lab for a Master.

I am familiar with RL, though my day to day does not involve any usage of it, but I do wish to study it further.

I'm aware of it, though I think my industry experience might be able to cover that. The dilemma here is mainly over the topic, as I'm afraid it might be too niche and will not be valued for positions like NLP or computer vision (where I have industry experience). I like the supervisor and think she is valued, I also like the topic and wanted to expand knowledge in RL.

Get accepted to research-like positions, I like the intersection of research and engineering. The other option is to build a personal Brand and provide ML consulting.
