We Don’t Want Pleasure; We Just Want the Pain to End

Pleasure. We’re all after it in some way or another. Some limit themselves or are limited to simple pleasures. Others live lavishly, spending fortunes indulging in expensive delights just to experience a bit of satisfaction – and our consumerist culture e…

The Illusion of Free Will

Here is an apple, and here’s a banana. Pick one. Whichever one you picked, it was your decision completely. This is what we call free will. It’s the idea that we are the sole authors of our destiny, that in the face of multiple choices, whatever decision …

Kevin O'Leary on What it Takes to Get Rich

[Applause] Tell you what, I’d like to do tonight. I thought I’m going to have some fun. You know, people always ask me, “Why do I do television? What does that have to do with being an investor? Is there any synchronicity between the hobby of TV?” Really…
