Beliefs

a tree falls the way it leans

an infinite universe is only terrifying if you think you're important

ask "what keeps you busy"

avoid single use tools

bureaucracy isn't inherently bad

concerts are the closest thing I have to a religious experience

create or learn something new every day

create space for others

do I need prestige?

do your best

failure leads to inquiry

figure out your weakest link and fix that

fuck your ego

If someone says it's raining and another person says it's dry. It's not your job to quote them both. Your job is to look out the fucking window and find out which is true.

if you accept their frame you'll always be inside their picture

nihilism can be freeing

nihilism

nobody born after 1980 thinks anything good will ever happen again

propose a solution instead of asking for input

share what you've learned

sucking at something is the first step to being sort of good at something

the first rule of hiring

the only constant is change

the two sides of an issue are those affected by it and those not affected by it

why have a digital garden?

why I write notes

work on what matters

you can offer people three things - your time, talent, and ZZZ

you have important things to say

you may not be ready for something the first time you experience it

you should create or learn something every day
