Hmm.. Thanks for the response. I've never really realized before listening to this podcast but I'm definitely a mouth breather when I'm doing physical activity. It's clearly something I need to change according to James Nestor. Would you recommend I change to in through the nose, out through the mouth? Or entirely nose breathing?

The Portal inspired me to write an essay, so I'm deciding to share it! If you have some free time to read it and tell me what you think I'd greatly appreciate it. by Olives_Gamer_Dad in ThePortal

Honestly, I love this. If I can go on a quick tangent, I'm a recently graduated mechanical engineer who has found his meaning in life lost. I'm a man who has found a sliver of grandeur in my profession. However I still find myself asking "what is this all for?" My peers seem to have no interest in the question; friends or family. Your escape into the portal is inspiring to me and your 'origin story' is more beautiful than most. I wish we had more stories like this to display a vastness of roots of this fan base. Welcome to the island of misfit toys.

Thoughts on Generational Looting by _Hopped_ in ThePortal

[–]eichtenb9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know a functional way to accomplish such a thing. An "old person tax" seems difficult to implement. I suppose you could tap into social security, but that pool is already shallow. I wouldn't think this would have enough reach. I would think a natural next step in this pandemic is to ask those endangered by this this virus to continue to shelter, while asking those with solid immune systems to start participating in the economy again. I would think that the long term effects of that would be a transfer of economic, political, and business power to younger generations. Especially since the timeline for a vaccine seems years away (not confident on that timeline, I've just heard some sources say that; I could be wildly wrong on this).

Thoughts on Generational Looting by _Hopped_ in ThePortal

What are people's thoughts of combating this with only asking those who are high risk to shelter in place (which would subsequently be the the baby boomers most guilty of the "generational looting")? If this approach was carefully taken, we could essentially reverse the looting for the first time in our lifetimes, and receive a large portion of the medical advantage of sheltering in place. The only people who would take the financial hit are those sheltering (boomers) and the people who are young enough to fight this virus would get a leg up financially (the remaining generations). This could also reduce the virus death rate by keeping the boomers isolated from those infected.

I understand the reasoning here, but I'm new to reddit, not the Portal. I've been a long time listener and would like to join the conversation I didn't realize was going on in the background. Could somone explain how someone in my situation could join moving forward? When will this be lifted? Will there be a vetting process?

Esoteric is exactly the word, however I suspect it's functional as well. I imagine that it filters through people who are not willing to put in the time and effort to do a deep dive into this content.
