    I learned this after moving out of the US. I live in a third world country now and I feel more free here than I ever have in the US.

    One example of this is that the traffic sucks here. Like its always crawling and slow, but the flip side is that you do not feel like you are constantly being hunted by police. Sometimes, not following the rules is what makes the most sense to reduce traffic and that is completely OK here.

    There are many other examples, but off the top of my head that is what I thought of.













  • I’ve hired people and my wife has been in a position to evaluate applicants for a job.

    What we have learned is that choosing an applicant is super subjective. Different things impress my wife and I in an applicant. (We work at different places)

    Additionally, once I instructed applicants to do something specific in their application, but someone didn’t follow the instructions. Turns out the thing I said not to do when applying was actually much more helpful than I thought.

    So even though a few people applied the “right” way, the girl who did it “wrong” got the job.

    So when you apply, it’s mostly a matter of checking the right boxes and getting lucky.
