I Power
Scientific Research & Self-Development Activism
Hi I-Power.
Hello I-Power community.
My name is Adam Black and i have just joined the community.
I am a 16 year old law student living in Glasgow and currently studying at Strathclyde University in Glasgow, Scotland. "16? law student? wtf?" Yeah, I left school a year early and was young for my year-group, achieving the required grades to enter law school.
I am currently in my first year of studying, taking up many new subjects and acquiring an extensive knowledge of law in our society, contracts, and criminal law as well as legal systems. -- but enough of my studies.
In my free-time I am involved in the online games Starcraft II and LoL, and was involved in other things such as WoW previously. Such activities of course helped me stumble onto this community via an old Athene video i found predicting actions such as SOPA and ACTA a few years ago.
I first heard of the I-Power project on the eve of the PIPA and SOPA announcements and after doing my research on both of these topics, as well as ACTA, i felt it would be appropriate to get involved in a community who cares, who wants to become more knowledgeable and help preserve what is the greatest tool of our generations.
Self-development is something which has recently become something I have thought about a lot recently. Being more acceptive of myself and continuing to learn, to be inventive, to be involved and ultimately improve my own confidence. I-Power appears to provide a community with similar aims in themselves.
I hope to be as involved as I possibly can in these forums, discussing many questions posted by the community and hopefully posting a few myself.
Cheers,
Adam.

Timo Kerremans replied to Tim Young's discussion Capitalism and profit"Yes I agree with that, a global change in the state of mind.I think if every single person in the world has an enormous feeling for solidarity, it is possible to create a working system where money would be obsolete. This unfortunatly is an utopian…"
Tim Young replied to Tim Young's discussion Capitalism and profit"I believe an entirely new paradigm is required. A global mindset shift away from the notion of "profit" and towards co-existence within a cooperative framework."
Timo Kerremans replied to Tim Young's discussion Capitalism and profit"What might be a solution for this profit-based society?They say money can solve a lot of problems, but these problems are mostly created by the bad use of money. I think you can't solve problems with the same thing that caused them. "
Tim Young replied to Bart Skraeling's discussion dealing with trolls"Yes that's similar to the usual advice one might see. And most of it is good advice. The only problem I have is with the "ignoring". Good in theory but in practice not always that easy - especially with the more persistent…"

Tim Young replied to Bart Skraeling's discussion dealing with trolls"Yes well, you could speculate forever as to the why. But how will you ever know the real truth - unless you get some actual trolls to fess up. I am guessing honesty is not their strongest suit.
I would also suggest that most of them probably…"

Tim Young replied to Bart Skraeling's discussion dealing with trolls"The moment you let a troll get under your skin and you react with anger or similar - then they are getting exactly what they want.
So anything BUT getting angry or pissed off with them works a lot better.

yesterday it was the eurovision song contest.I went into a newspapers internett site (dagbladet if anyone is interested) and saw they had a forum for discussing the results (the results where coming in at the time). much of the forum was covered with the comments of two people, both trolls, one in norwegian and one in english. they where claiming that norway lost because we sent an immigrant to the finals (the guy was born in Iran but came to norway when he was just over 1 yrs old), and other…See More
