Knowledge Society: Social Security and Innate Differences
http://knowledgesociety.blogspot.com/2005/01/social-security-and-innate-differences.html
Tuesday, January 18, 2005. Social Security and Innate Differences. I've recently been thinking about the Social Security "problem" in the US as well as whether all people are the same or not. I recently read the article titled " Social Security Needs A Tuning Fork, Not A Sledgehammer: VIEW FROM THE LEFT. In which Harley Sorensen writes:. And other books, it does not take a lot to save and thus should be encouraged. I would hope that this is something that both liberals and conservatives can agree on.

Knowledge Society: January 2005
http://knowledgesociety.blogspot.com/2005_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 28, 2005. Immigrants vs. American-Born. In this article I'd like to postulate that the United States is still a land of opportunity if you work for it, however working for success has become harder and not all Americans like that. While immigrants are still becoming successful in the US to an extent that they cannot achieve in Europe, many the American-born complain that there is not enough opportunity anymore. Something doesn't jive. Posted by Post Knowledge @ 9:20 PM. Today, for example...

Knowledge Society: Is the Knowledge Society good for society?
http://knowledgesociety.blogspot.com/2005/01/is-knowledge-society-good-for-society.html
Wednesday, January 05, 2005. Is the Knowledge Society good for society? Many years ago I found myself reading Peter Drucker's book titled " Post-Capitalist Society. I believe the Knowledge Society requires people who are capable of absorbing, processing and taking action on knowledge. If a large percentage of the population is not capable of that, what will happen to society? Posted by Post Knowledge @ 6:56 AM. View my complete profile.

Knowledge Society: The European Dream?
http://knowledgesociety.blogspot.com/2005/01/european-dream.html
Wednesday, January 05, 2005. I am currently reading Jeremy Rifkin's The European Dream. I'm not sure how academically rigorous Rifkin is but I have read his book The End of Work. Previously, a book with predictions that have not come true. One thing my friends and I debate is with ever increasing productivity in the US, why is it that we are not working less hours?

Knowledge Society: The Automatic Millionaire
http://knowledgesociety.blogspot.com/2005/01/automatic-millionaire.html
Saturday, January 08, 2005. To me, motivation doesn't mean to simply work hard. Working hard in the US isn't enough anymore. What it takes is to simply save money and have some self control. I have been thinking along these lines for a while but I had not found the silver bullet that would give a roadmap to millions of Americans that struggle through everyday life. Then over the holidays, I found that my mother was reading a book called Smart Women Finish Rich. Or his Finish Rich Workbook.

Knowledge Society: The Sticky Ladder by David Brooks (NYTimes)
http://knowledgesociety.blogspot.com/2005/01/sticky-ladder-by-david-brooks-nytimes.html
Thursday, January 27, 2005. The Sticky Ladder by David Brooks (NYTimes). David Brooks, a conservative columnist for the New York Times, recently wrote a piece called The Sticky Ladder. Today, for example, we may still believe American society is uniquely dynamic, but we're deceiving ourselves. European societies, which seem more class riven and less open, have just as much social mobility as the United States does. In this way these highly educated elites produce a paradox - a hereditary meritocratic cla...

Knowledge Society: Financial Literacy
http://knowledgesociety.blogspot.com/2005/01/financial-literacy.html
Wednesday, January 05, 2005. While many colleges today still require you to take liberal arts classes, it is probably just as important, if not more so, to require Econ 101 (Microeconomics) and Finance 101. Econ 101 is recommended by Joel Spolsky. In addition to those classes, everyone should probably read Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad, Poor Dad. As well as some basic personal finance books. These topics could be covered in a class called Personal Finance 101 which every person should also take.

Knowledge Society: Reflections on Orwell's 1984 in 2004
http://knowledgesociety.blogspot.com/2005/01/reflections-on-orwells-1984-in-2004.html
Wednesday, January 05, 2005. Reflections on Orwell's 1984 in 2004. On a recent drive I listened to George Orwell's 1984 (and Animal Farm) on Audio CD (unabridged) narrated by Frank Muller. I had never read this book before but decided I wanted to read/listen something with literary merit on my drive and the local Borders happened to have it in stock. I was curious to see if I could glean anything useful for free society today from these works. Posted by Post Knowledge @ 7:43 AM. View my complete profile.
