@BroBroDude In such an event that the axiom that is foundational to other understandings is found to be fake, all other thoughts and understandings dependent on that axiom become effectively obsolete or are at best in need of honest mending. A simple example, a flat earth. Before the earth became ‘known’ to have a near spherical structure it was ‘known’ that the earth was effectively a falt plane and the maps derived from that axiom were the standard at the time.
@BroBroDude The use of axiomatic assumption is still intentional, sad it is that you choose to not allow the words to play together. The definition intended when saying axiomatic assumption would be as follows. A foundational belief or understanding that is widely accepted to be fundamentally right, upon which a superfluity of compounding thoughts and understandings are dependent upon it.
@BroBroDude A small and concise way to clarify the issue you seem to be having with my use of axiomatic assumption may be in the use of axiom being a noun and axiomatic being an adjective. Axiom you clearly seem to know but what modification does the word axiomatic bring about upon the noun to which it is applied?

This is all 100% right.
“As Socretes said ‘Wisdom is knowing how small we know.” With that may I say I ‘know’ nothing. ”
For crying out sakes, NO. This is 100% incorrect and the most ass-backwards concept of knowledge ever forwarded. At best, it is used as a cutesy non-literal allusion to unknown-knowns – which is valid. At worst – as you seem to be using it – it is an flawed “principle” of limitless skepticism. Which is completely retarded because skepticism itself REQUIRES certain things to be right & known.

It is evident from the conjugation of “axiom” that it was used as a modifier. It just makes the listener question you wtf you’re talking about even if, since a contradiction is implied.
@JadeiteGracie You have now clarified that you really just meant “assumption” and I’m grateful for that , thanks. I don’t disagree that language can and should be used in new ways; it is okay with me that you want to use that phrase as you have. But since you are using the words nontraditionally, I had to question wtf you were saying. I reckon that’s tedious sometimes, but not a huge deal. Cheers.
Abandon skepticism, even if. It is epistemologically incoherent. =)
@donnerbrandpear really? I know exactly what he’s talking about, I started my own affair so that I can do what I like and get paid, and I identify with his viewpoint. I remember feeling like traditional academic school catered to a certain group that didn’t include me. I’m not naive, I’ve lived through exactly what he’s talking about, so you sound like a troll.
@BroBroDude I have clarified that I really meant axiomatic assumption. An assumption held to be so unquestioningly right that a myriad of other thoughts and beliefs are dependent upon it.
@JadeiteGracie “[insert phrase]” doesn’t MEAN anything. You didn’t MEAN the phrase. You meant something and REFERRED to it with the phrase. You have clarified what you meant, and what you meant is what is typically referred to only by “assumption”. I don’t care how you refer to it, really, I’m just glad to know what you meant.
@BroBroDude Facinating, such unawareness of the lens.
@JadeiteGracie One-upsmanship fail =*(
@BroBroDude Fascinating.
The most recent episode of the East Meets West podcast in iTunes features a fantastic discussion on culture. The conversation is not really related to entrepreneurship, but has similar thoughts and attitudes toward culture that I find really compelling and fascinating.
Teach the Kids to get a Hustle…..That is a page of the Streets.
this guy is pretty proud of himself…i like his message, but this video was like watching the guy pat him self on the back for 20 minutes,
best ted ever
He’s mentally jerking himself off.
Cameron does a fantastic job exploiting the opportunities available outside of the “traditional” excellent paying jobs our educational system funnels us into. Awareness of these opportunities available through entrepreneurism, followed by support from parents is a powerful gift to kids!

Why the fuck did I wast all my time at school!!!!
Fuck Ayn Rand that stupid bitch. She might be the most cantankerous self who ever lived.
awesome
@EclecticSceptic So do you have anything constructive to say about Ayn Rand or her philosophy or like everybody that I have ever heard bash her, your attack is purely emotional and has no basis in logic or fact.
@Durgles your awesome, im 18 years ancient and for 4 years ive despised shcool. largest waste of time i dont learn shit in school. DECA is the only business i take pleasure in cuz i can do better then the kid next to me who has a 4.0. Im looking now for institution which is BS cuz like he said MBA programs teach about theory’s not skills. yeah i might be ADHD and Dyslexic which they look as a disability i look on it as an opportunity. a high percentage of entrepreneurs are dyslexic
