Not the person you're replying to, but I really must say that it isn't. Living practically with a secure wage, one can explore the world within their means. Living on one's one is not prohibitively expensive, nor are many of life's truer pleasures. Poverty is relative. I live on the shoreline in Connecticut. My the rent on my place is $1,200 a month, my boat slip $3,000 a season. Those are my major expenses. Maintenance on Car, rental property, and sail boat come to under $10,000 a year, I get by well on a salary of $50,000, the girlfriend makes about $80,000.

I sail. I read. I write. My local library is well stocked, occasionally I go for a run along the shore, or out to the pub for a drink. Sure, I hope for career advancement or recognition for literary merit, but I don't need it. I'm relatively happy.

That's a fun fact, but I'll need to see a sauce. Paranoia is generally a spiraling vice that generates far more problems than it solves.

Poverty is not a sin Anon. Neither, really is loneliness. Feeling owed and bitter is pride, if not wrath to the latter.

OP is either Larry Hauser, a sycophant student, or his research assistant. From what I've read, Hauser seems to be enunciating a psychological knee jerk without any legitimate substance. He blurts a vaugely presidential "Wrong!" without any follow-up alternative or direct argument. That's not how science or philosophy work. When you say that someone is wrong, you have to show how, and then construct a new framework that better explains the input data, phenomena, or thought experiment. Hauser fails to do this on every level available.

Everyone 'reads' normally. It's who has trouble learning to read. I'm seeking to help kids with a disability overcome some of it's implications. If you don't think that hard of hearing/deaf children have a harder time learning to read, I can drum up some good ole facts and statistics for you. We could go dialectics if you're feeling Hegelian today. I don't know, maybe because its a system that I've already devoted my life to, learned sign language for and busted my ass in helping serve, you could just take my word for it.

Where do you want to go with this?
