Reality is the ultimate arbiter of truth. If your thoughts, beliefs, and actions aren't aligned with truth, your results will suffer.

Riga reporting. Will the meetup be in English?

I made a poll, one of whose options was that we should have a proper forum. Not only did ZERO of the fifty-odd people choose the forum option, but it actually got down-voted in total contravention of the poll rules.

There's no way I would spend 5% of my income on life/disability insurance. (I'm an actuary, BTW.) Start with what you and your dependents would need in the event of your death or disability, rather than starting with the policy details. Also, try to objectively estimate the probability of your (early) death or disability. Then, shop around - do not take the first thing offered to you.

This is in my top 5 funniest comments made on LW.

Now, all that's left to do is convince the world that nukes are not evil so we can build an Orion drive powered ship and colonize that planet.

LessWrong... IN SPACE!

Just give us a proper forum already!

I was offered life insurance by an Alico agent. What do you guys think? I don't know what I don't know about life insurance, so throw me all you've got.

I would get 36k€ if I was crippled 50% or more and 20k€ if I died or survived till 62, all for 260€ a year (that's 5% of my current salary). Does anyone know what injuries constitute what crippledness %?
