    If you care about ideas, read this brilliantly written essay about the "stifling orthodoxy" that Twitter mobs impose, and the effect it has had on writing.

    “However this may be, his capricious imagination rises, even in his less beautiful works, to heights none can reach without wings.” Rather than allowing Byron’s shortcomings to sully appreciation of his genius, Hugo reinforces the greatness that contextualizes those shortcomings.

    Here is Victor Hugo on Lord Byron: “His genius too often resembles an aimless traveler musing as he walks, and so absorbed in his own profound intuitions that he brings back with him but a vague resemblance of the places he has traversed...

    The sight of flawed genius can reassure us we’re not so different. But it can also evoke the opposite. Instead of lowering the elevated stature of those we admire, flaws can highlight latent greatness, & inspire marvel at the unrealized genius of which we see but a shadow.

    In celebrating human greatness, our praise is often muted, hedged, qualified, calibrated. Something in our age urges caution, calling us to temper our admiration—to look for accident or uncredited support, to doubt almost by instinct any singularity of achievement or achiever.

    A few years ago, Chris and I hired the awesome team at to animate Charlie Munger's famous Psychology of Human Misjudgement speech. For some reason YouTube took it down. Today, it's back on Vimeo 🔥🔥🔥

    "Wealth, notoriety, place, and power are no measures of success whatsoever. The only true measure of success is the ratio between what we might have done and what we might have been on the one hand, and the thing we have made of ourselves on the other." — H.G. Wells

    “The common idea that success spoils people by making them vain, egotistical and self-complacent is erroneous; on the contrary, it makes them , for the most part, humble, tolerant and kind. Failure makes people bitter and cruel.” W. Somerset Maugham

    Paradoxically, I don’t understand skepticism of success. Absent specific contrary evidence, the default should be that success *does* represent a badge of honor, earned self-esteem and joy. As Zig Ziglar says, “You do not pay the price of success, you enjoy the price of success.”

    Not sure I agree with the idea of venerating failure. Failure should be seen as a potential consequence of boldness, a natural provisional state, a learning opportunity, and a scar which carries no shame, but I don’t understand the claim it should be treated as a badge of honor.

    "The really valuable thing in the pageant of human life seems to me not the political state, but the creative, sentient individual, the personality; it alone creates the noble and the sublime, while the herd as such remains dull in thought and dull in feeling." — Albert Einstein

    Everyone learns to walk. But learning to walk does not, for everyone, add to a sense of efficacy and confidence. The development of physical and psychological independence can become decoupled. Ensuring that they remain coupled is the job of a good early childhood education.

    A proper agency-centric pedagogy need to successfully grapple with rather than merely trade off against our central & inescapable adult responsibility to help children acquire the skills & layers of factual knowledge necessary for their adult flourishing.
