The gullibility of humans is staggering.

Also, you can manipulate charts and graphs to "show" anything you like because they are visual and we are merely human.

I learned a lot about the human condition while researching for the book. 

A lot of people advise investing in real estate and saving money so that you can eventually "do what you love" or "pursue what you want to pursue", with the assumption that everyone's preferences are different and that there are nearly an infinite number of 'dreams' that achieve human happiness.

Thank you sir for you dedication to humanity!

It is human nature to be comfortable with what you have, to have the same rhythm day after day after day, to stay in that comfort zone. 

All this post will do is revel in the fact that the vast majority of humans prefer to be right instead of having their thoughts move closer to reality.

Sometimes being greedy and stingy in business can lead to having to loose even more, as opposed to showing humanity and kindness to a neighbor.  

However,If a fraction of what is projected (extreme homelessness, drug abuse on public streets, human feces, needles and the like covering the streets) then California is in trouble as it faces the impending mass exodus of its productive citizens.

Sure, we run a business, but I am a human first, a businessmen second.
