Don't disturb complicated systems that have been around for a very long time. We don't understand their logic. Don't pollute the planet. Leave it the way we found it, regardless of scientific 'evidence'.

I hated school because I liked to daydream and the system tried to stop me from that.

Few understand that procrastination is our natural defense, letting things take care of themselves and exercise their antifragility; it results from some ecological or naturalistic wisdom, and is not always bad - at an existential level, it is my body rebelling against its entrapment. It is my soul fighting the Procrustean bed of modernity.

Anything organic requires some dose of variability so it can adapt all the time, and fixing things is not a good idea.

Remember that you are a Black Swan.

The traits I respect are erudition and the courage to stand up when half-men are afraid for their reputation. Any idiot can be intelligent.

This is the tragedy of modernity: as with neurotically overprotective parents, those trying to help are often hurting us the most.
