How important is it to cultivate individual culture?

How important is it that we cultivate the capacity of the human mind to search for its own meaning through culture separated from the collective conscious? What can we reach when we search or relate to things (like books) on an individual level?

    Computers. There is no limit to what they can do. You put a computer to measure time, temperature, the weather; and you can use it to plot all those things in nice graphics. The way you can make computers relate to nature just outline how fundamental it is to science.

    I lost access to one of my Amazon accounts, and it isn't easy to recover. They give you the option to make a paid international call to recover your account, since I don't live in the United States. Can't possibly recommend it. If you lose your account, you lose all the books you bought.

    I think kobo identifies your Wi-fi network, but ever since I found out amazon puts you through this, the book buying (actually renting) lost its charm to me.

    I would go with whats available freely on the Internet. I use "filetype:pdf" on Google to find books, for example.

    You need to set the boot mode into your Flash Drive before rebooting - in my PC it's the F2 key for boot menu.

    If you don't change the boot mode it will always boot into the default OS that came with the manufacturer.

    Brazilian Disturbance of Peace Law e-diariooficial.com

    Any sort of private or public noise is illegal by brazilian Law. Dogs barking are illegal and unregulated presentations or religious cult/public agglomeration are prohibited by Law. This is of course tolerated by Common Sense: people making presentations on the streets for money and, obviously, dogs barking are tolerated, but they're illegal. This is very bad for dissent, as if someone wants to make a public statement: artistic, political or informative, he/she is practically an outlaw, and subjected to peoples goodwill - which could go very bad specifically politically wise. Political parties get the right to regulate their movements, but what if I am just a citizen and want to make a political statement? Common Sense a.k.a. Horde of Zombies isn't very good for that.

    Distro recommendation

    I'm having problems with Manjaro again, always after those big updates. Anyway, I'm moving from Manjaro since it seems it will not work (authorization isn't working properly). I already tried Ubuntu before (used it for 3 months), but moved on since file management in Ubuntu is pretty bad (had to use terminal to copy files and format drives because system wouldn't recognize me as administrator). I've been using Manjaro for 4 months and it's really good, the update problems ruin it. Anyway, I was thinking of moving on to something like Linux Mint, Debian or Fedora. I wanted something with support and with people that care for the code. What do you guys suggest? I ask because I don't want to encounter another distro changing problem with my next distro.
