If you believe that AI will free you from drudgery and thinking, you’re right. You’ll end up a thrall who cannot think (and won’t want to) or do for yourself. #life #ai #failure

Everything good has a cost. The snow is beautiful, but we’ll be paying for it. #life

The importance of everything you change, or even view increases. Be picky/selective in what you interact with. #life #productivity

If you no longer find what you are doing (work, hobbies, etc.) fun, that’s an indication that you should’ve changed and didn’t. The world moved on. You didn’t. #life #failure

Your life is on a countdown timer. Why are you still worrying about what to wear/eat/watch? #life

Apparently (let’s assume), more people believe the world is flat than those who believe in fairies (given available data). The fact that there are people that believe in either is horrifying. We are still in the Dark Ages. #life #failure

Just because you measure something (times you’ve exercised this week, the number of books you read this year, the profit you made) doesn’t make it more meaningful or important. Most statistics and metrics are there to control your behavior, not provide joy. #life #statistics #failure

Donors want influence. Very few are altruistic. #life #failure

What if you had a box that had all of your answers? But none of the truth? .~ #life

Who is/was your hero? Who do/did you look up to? Why aren’t you like them? If your hero held “power”, your answers will be ignored. Serious question. #life

Just think, a few years from now, you will be in the public domain.~ #life

It is important to understand and acknowledge the people and things that hold power over you. Acknowledgment is not acceptance. #life

Be a good human. It takes work to be an evil one. #life

Kindness is never weakness. Weakness is never being kind. #life

Consistency is not perfection, and perfection doesn’t mean consistency. #life #success

If you allow others to define your success, you will surely fail. #life

Don’t be a alave to your systems. They were designed to help you not direct or control you. #life #systems

Be the type of person you admire. #life

Marketing is so much easier than sales or innovation. That’s why so many people do it. #life #marketing #failure

Philosophical/computing question: How much (CPU) power is needed to satisfy a human vs. an AI running on that CPU? And is it inversely proportional to the intelligence of the human? #life #philogophy #computing #ai

Kindness should never be some kind of payment. It should be freely given. #life #success

No one teaches you how to be a good person if you don’t listen. #life

Everything is politics is like saying everyone is a salesperson. It/they is/are, if you want it/them to be. #life #failure

“Life has no participation medals. We give medals to those who do something exceptional, especially when they die.” #writing #life

“Don’t let your guard down. Be a good commander.” #writing #life
