    For a few centuries man has tried to make himself like a machine. He's learned to arrive on time. He's learned to repeat after teacher. He's learned to do repetitious tasks reliably. Machines are now better at being machines than man is. Man must now relearn how to be man.

    Most people are good when they are among the good. Observe them in the company of scoundrels and you will find out if they are moral or merely conformist.

    YouTube is full of teachers who will happily repeat themselves until you get it. A rewindable instructor has infinite patience. One of the great resources of our time.

    Rage makes us stupid and fools us into thinking that our stupidity will somehow “show them.”

    A good idea is a bad idea + a day of rethinking it. Good writing is bad writing + a day of revision. Quality is a process.

    Valuable information is increasingly free. The focus to learn and apply it is increasingly rare.

    The ignorant can be instructed. It is the incurious who are in trouble.

    Many people are anxious and inhibited because they walk around with a comment section in their heads. Famous people are often driven insane by the sense that they can’t possibly manage the opinions of so many. Social media gives “normal people” this feeling as well.

    Pause and ask yourself: “Does this really need a response?” Little annoyances come and go. The irritation fades quickly if it is not indulged.

    Creative work often requires the creation of a problem to fix. This is why writers emphasize the liberation of messy first drafts. Our problem-solving skills are activated by the obvious flaws and solutions leap suddenly to mind. The results may look like pure inspiration.

    People who spend all day reading texts and Twitter will tell you “I don’t read. I don’t have time.” You are reading this. You have time. People read more than ever. They read plenty of marketing emails and angry YouTube comments. Read something worthwhile. Read a good book.

    Reading offers a kind of telepathy. It allows thought to flow fairly seamlessly from one mind to another. Wide reading gives us a sense of not only WHAT others think, but HOW they think. Reading permits us to commune with the dead and better understand the living.

    The internet enables the obnoxious to monetize your reactions to their provocations. Clickbait starves without clicks. Withdraw your “engagement” from things you don’t want more of.

    It may be wise to choose an excessively charitable interpretation of the other person in a dispute. Perhaps you misunderstood their intent. Perhaps you understood their intent perfectly and they will now embrace the more benign position as a way out. A win either way.

    Avoidable personal conflicts constantly derail otherwise promising businesses, movements, and marriages. Broadly well-aligned people should pause and appreciate the rarity of finding others with whom they have so much in common. If you can... make it work.
