If you sat with a pencil and jotted down all the decisions you've taken in the past week, or, if you could, over your lifetime, you would realize that almost all of them have had asymmetric payoff, with one side carrying a larger consequence than the other. You decide principally based on fragility, not probability. Or to rephrase, You decide principally based on fragility, not so much on True/False.

You exist if and only if you are free to do things without a visible objective, with no justification and, above all, outside the dictatorship of someone else's narrative.

The person you are most afraid to contradict is yourself.

If you're going to fail, you'd rather fail early than fail late in general.

You will be civilized on the day you can spend a long period doing nothing, learning nothing, and improving nothing, without feeling the slightest amount of guilt.

They will envy you for your success, your wealth, for your intelligence, for your looks, for your status - but rarely for your wisdom.

The opposite of manliness isn't cowardice; it's technology.
