  1. I get notified when people quote me. Heh.
  2. I see. Has your town held you back? Yes. Humans profit from each other. They will naturally form packs to increase the ease of their own lives, even while being critical of others who do the same. See: the volunteer's dilemma. The volunteer's dilemma game models a situation in which each of N players faces the decision of either making a small sacrifice from which all will benefit, or freeriding. One example is a scenario in which the electricity has gone out for an entire neighborhood. All inhabitants know that the electricity company will fix the problem as long as at least one person calls to notify them, at some cost. If no one volunteers, the worst possible outcome is obtained for all participants. If any one person elects to volunteer, the rest benefit by not doing so. A public good is only produced if at least one person volunteers to pay an arbitrary cost. In this game, bystanders decide independently on whether to sacrifice themselves for the benefit of the group. Because the volunteer receives no benefit, there is a greater incentive for freeriding than to sacrifice oneself for the group. If no one volunteers, everyone loses. The social phenomena of the bystander effect and diffusion of responsibility heavily relate to the volunteer’s dilemma.
  3. Ava: 1 - Since you gave reasons... It is a JPEG with distortion. Has annoying C4D effects. Not suited for avatar use due to size. Horrible gradient color schreme. Text on an avatar is a no go. Sig: 2.5 - The picture isn't as unfitting as all that.

    There you are... Or so I thought?
  5. At least you were up and about?
  6. What is your plan? Most humans rely on the knowledge and technology of others. For example... There are few who believe that they could survive without being ruled and provided for, either by a deity or a state.
  7. Time flies when you're having fun?
  8. Yes. Do you have a plan to become less sheltered?
  9. Something relating to philosophy or ideas. What is your ideal profession?
