Things You Don't Understand
Seth Godin has challenged his readers to make a list of things they don't understand. After all, as Socrates said, being wise means knowing what you don't know (or knowing that you know nothing, but I'm not that pessimistic). Here is my list, although I do have some thoughts on each of these:
How to start a business with no capital
How to finish a Ph.D. dissertation
How to design a ham radio from scratch
Why God allows suffering in the world
Why self-serving jerks are the ones that get ahead
Why people still talk about buying gold at $1000 per ounce
How anyone affords a house in Santa Cruz
What happened to quality television like family sitcoms and Star Trek
Why people like Jim Cramer
There are, of course, many other things I don't understand fully. But that will be enough for now. How about you? What things don't you understand, financially or otherwise? Post your list or link below for all to see.
