Where can/should I submit poetry to be published?
I write in basically all forms, but mostly write prose fiction. I've have had a few short stories published, but by some stroke of luck, my poetry has been atypically good in the last few weeks.
I have a couple of poems that I think are good enough for publication, but since I'm effectively new to poetry, I don't know where I should send them off to. What are some magazines or journals that are currently accepting unsolicited poetry submissions?

there's so much shitty poetry out there that even the best magazines print it. There's probably maybe less than half a dozen good living poets right now, so really, there's no competition. If you want to publish you can.
Publishing isn't the concern of a poet. Writing poetry is. You can either look to be a published poet or first look to be a poet. Up to you.
Post a poem.

>Post a poem.
I'll add this: if you post it, I'll tell you in detail why your poem isn't up to par and you have years to go before you're a good poet, if ever. I'll give you a few paragraphs.

Is it correct to say that in order for the Nietzschean Ubermensch to obtain moral autonomy 'beyond good and evil' he should live his life as if his existence was a work of art?

Nietzschean Ubermenschen are invariably sociopaths. If you have any sense of morality or empathy, you can't be "beyond" good and evil. I know I'm not, and I'm not ashamed to say so.

So I've gotten Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman a while back at the suggestion of someone, and I'm on chapter 4 right now (image related) And its really getting difficult to stay in into it, The book is supposed to be about how thinking processes work an the types they are separated into, but even this early into it there is so much just wild swinging around.
When a book tells you to read two words, then goes onto a paragraph explaining your reaction and thought process and manages to get every single thing wrong, its really hard to believe there's anything worth reading further on.
Has anyone else read it? Does it get better or am I better off just saving my time and going to something else?

OP, when will people realize behavioral economics is a crock of shit? he brought something new to the table but its straight up psych bullshit, no real econ insight. he should have devoted his efforts on providing a more rigorous treatment of economics as a branch of applied math, imho.

What Bible translation do you guys prefer? I like the King James Version, but I just started reading the Orthodox New Testament (they're still working on the OT--this is not the same version as the Orthodox Study Bible, which is a tweaked NKJV, this is a totally new translation), and I gotta say, I really, really like it. The commentary and translation are both top tier.
If you Google, "Eastern Orthodox New Testament pdf", it will be the first link, you can take a look for yourselves.
