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
