sit and bleed

Wed, 07 Feb 2024 00:00:00 GMT

There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.

prison walls

Fri, 02 Feb 2024 00:00:00 GMT

Most people end up being conformists. They adapt to prison life. A few become reformers. They fight for better lighting, better ventilation. Hardly anyone becomes a rebel, a revolutionary who breaks down the prison walls. You can only be a revolutionary when you see the prison walls in the first place.

Control the uncontrollable

Suffering arises from trying to control what is uncontrollable, or from neglecting what is within our power.

opinions of others

Tue, 30 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT

Putting things off

Thu, 18 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT

Putting things off is the biggest waste of life: it snatches away each day as it comes, and denies us the present by promising the future. The greatest obstacle to living is expectancy, which hangs upon tomorrow, and loses today. You are arranging what lies in fortune’s control, and abandoning what lies in yours. What are you looking at? To what goal are you straining? The whole future lies in uncertainty: live immediately.

many roads

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.

Misfortune

Thu, 11 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT

Jack of all trades, master of none, better than one.

Value of time

Fri, 01 Dec 2023 00:00:00 GMT

Nobody works out the value of time: men use it lavishly as if it cost nothing… We have to be more careful in preserving what will cease at an unknown point.

lack of friendship

Sun, 12 Nov 2023 00:00:00 GMT

It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship, that makes unhappy marriages.

read and write

Sat, 11 Nov 2023 00:00:00 GMT

If you can’t read and write, you can’t think. Your thoughts are dispersed if you don’t know how to read and write. You’ve got to be able to look at your thoughts on paper and discover what a fool you were.

worth saying

Thu, 23 Feb 2023 00:00:00 GMT

The problem is no longer getting people to express themselves but providing little gaps of solitude and silence in which they might eventually find something to say. What a relief to have nothing to say, the right to say nothing, because only then is there a chance of framing ...the thing that might be worth saying.

Wed, 15 Dec 2021 00:00:00 GMT

TODOROV's literary theory was his definition, in Introduction à la LITTÉRATURE FANTASTIQUE (1970), the fantastic uncanny, and the fantastic MARVELOUS.

too much healthy

Tue, 02 Nov 2021 00:00:00 GMT

...because you too much healthy!

reading too much

Mon, 01 Nov 2021 00:00:00 GMT

Reading after a certain age diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking, just as the man who spends too much time in the theater is tempted to be content with living vicariously instead of living his own life.

philosophical insight

Sun, 03 Oct 2021 00:00:00 GMT

Pardon him, Theodotus: he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.

convinced evidence

Fri, 01 Oct 2021 00:00:00 GMT

Thu, 24 Sep 2020 00:00:00 GMT

exquisite paradox

Sat, 15 Aug 2020 00:00:00 GMT

despair

Sat, 01 Aug 2020 00:00:00 GMT

Vision without action is daydream. Action without vision is nightmare.

rich asshole syndrome

Fri, 01 May 2020 00:00:00 GMT

What we’ve been finding across dozens of studies and thousands of participants across this country, is that as a person’s levels of wealth increase, their feelings of compassion and empathy go down, and their feelings of entitlement, of deservingness, and their ideology of self-interest increases. - Rich Asshole Syndrome

How wicked

Thu, 02 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT

When I wish to find out how good or how wicked anyone is, or what are his thoughts at the moment, I fashion the expression of my face, as accurately as possible, in accordance with the expression of his, and then wait to see what thoughts or sentiments arise in my own mind or heart, as if to match or correspond with the expression.

Character, like a photograph, develops in darkness.

seeing with heart

Mon, 11 Nov 2019 00:00:00 GMT

Here is my secret. It is very simple: it is only with the heart that one can see rightly. What is essential is invisible to the eye.

solitude and silence

Sat, 02 Nov 2019 00:00:00 GMT

The problem is no longer getting people to express themselves, but providing little gaps of solitude and silence in which they might eventually find something to say... What a relief to have nothing to say, the right to say nothing, because only then is there a chance of framing... the thing that might be worth saying.

the purpose of life

Fri, 25 Oct 2019 00:00:00 GMT

barriers within yourself

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.

renouncing

Sat, 31 Aug 2019 00:00:00 GMT

Anytime you're practicing renunciation, you're deluded. How about that! You're deluded. What are you renouncing? Anytime you renounce something, you are tied forever to the thing you renounce. There's a guru in India who says, "Every time a prostitute comes to me, she's talking about nothing but God. She says I'm sick of this life that I'm living. I want God. But every time a priest comes to me, he's talking about nothing but sex". Very well, when you renounce something, you're stuck to it forev

Wed, 10 Jul 2019 00:00:00 GMT

A wealth of information creates a poverty of attention.

choice illusion

Mon, 27 May 2019 00:00:00 GMT

Western Culture is built around ideals of individual choice and freedom. Millions of us fiercely defend our right to make free choices, while we ignore how we’re manipulated upstream by limited menus we didn’t choose.

paradox of choice

Sat, 25 May 2019 00:00:00 GMT

More Is Less

It is by logic that we prove, but by intuition that we discover.

orwell got it backward

Fri, 15 Mar 2019 00:00:00 GMT

Old George Orwell got it backward. Big Brother isn't watching. He's singing and dancing. He's pulling rabbits out of a hat. Big Brother’s busy holding your attention every moment you're awake. He's making sure you're always distracted. He's making sure you're fully absorbed. He's making sure your imagination withers. Until it's as useful as your appendix. He's making sure your attention is always filled. And this being fed, it's worse than being watched. With the world always filling you, no one

better than you

Wed, 20 Feb 2019 00:00:00 GMT

You remain awake at night and perform your devotions. Also awake at night are dogs, better than you. They bark and in no way can they be stopped. They go and sleep on the dung heap, better than you. They do not leave their master's door, even if they get beaten with slippers, better than you. Bulleh Shah, buy yourself something for the journey, or else the game will be won by the dogs, better than you.

skins

Fri, 01 Feb 2019 00:00:00 GMT

In order to change skins, evolve into new cycles, I feel one has to learn to discard. If one changes internally, one should not continue to live with the same objects. They reflect one’s mind and psyche of yesterday. I throw away what has no dynamic, living use.

We’re all just depressed office workers, handing out our love one like at a time.

photographs violate people

Mon, 19 Nov 2018 00:00:00 GMT

To photograph people is to violate them, by seeing them as they never see themselves, by having knowledge of them that they can never have. It turns people into objects that can be symbolically possessed. Just as a camera is a sublimation of the gun, to photograph someone is a subliminal murder, a soft murder, appropriate to a sad, frightened time.

experience of self

Sun, 18 Nov 2018 00:00:00 GMT

I realized people were not having LSD experiences, they were having experiences of themselves. But they were coming from depths that psychoanalysis didn’t know anything about.

love death

Thu, 01 Nov 2018 00:00:00 GMT

ignorance of experts

Sun, 28 Oct 2018 00:00:00 GMT

Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts.

collecting the world

Fri, 26 Oct 2018 00:00:00 GMT

Ironically, though, "collecting the world" might mean also losing it. “A way of certifying experience, taking photographs is also a way of refusing it — by limiting experience to a search for the photogenic, by converting experience into an image, a souvenir,”

consciousness is fundamental

Thu, 25 Oct 2018 00:00:00 GMT

I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness. We cannot get behind consciousness. Everything that we talk about, everything that we regard as existing, postulates consciousness.

Thu, 11 Oct 2018 00:00:00 GMT

To photograph is to confer importance.

education not memory

Thu, 11 Oct 2018 00:00:00 GMT

The camera makes everyone a tourist in other people's reality, and eventually in one's own.

writer role

Mon, 01 Oct 2018 00:00:00 GMT

The role of a writer is not to say what we all can say, but what we are unable to say.

Explain mystery

Fri, 28 Sep 2018 00:00:00 GMT

Nature has no principles. She makes no distinction between good and evil.

objective world

Sat, 23 Jun 2018 00:00:00 GMT

What was once called the objective world is a sort of Rorschach inkblot, into which each culture, each system of science and religion, each type of personality, reads a meaning only remotely derived from the shape and color of the blot itself.

authoritarian political ideologies

Mon, 18 Jun 2018 00:00:00 GMT

Authoritarian political ideologies have a vested interest in promoting fear, a sense of the imminence of takeover by aliens and real diseases are useful material.

plastic love

Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMT

72 hours later, and we were meeting up with legendary filmmaker friend Kylian Castells at Denpasar’s glorious Ngurah Rai airport. Tito followed an hour later. He was wearing his Halloween hat and we couldn’t be happier to finally be back in plastic land together—eating chocolate bars wrapped in plastic, and drinking lemon water out of plastic bottles. Driving through the plastic covered streets and humming the burnt plastic fumes in the air. We’d already been traveling for 30 hours, and we stil

we are all the same

Mon, 01 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMT

talking about the photo: 'The Double Face', © Bill Stettner 1963 I wanted to make a picture that made the point that underneath it all, we’re all the same. I wanted to take a picture of ordinary blue-collar workers – a sort of Avedon close up – using a black man for one half of the face, and a white man for the other – so that the black man looked like the shadow side of the white man’s face. These days this would simple with computers - but back in 1963 it all had to be done in the ca

how we vote

Sun, 16 Apr 2017 00:00:00 GMT

Noob: An idiot who thinks they know everything about something and usually complain that more experienced people don't know anything.

Before other customers nearby had a chance to warn the old lady about the scale being fishy, she dropped 50 cents on the table and left with the largest tomato. “姜还是老的辣！” In Chinese we say.

money is debt

Thu, 23 Feb 2017 00:00:00 GMT

That all money is debt, and that the fractional reserve monetary system is a pyramid scheme. Banks lend money they don’t have, money that doesn’t actually exist until they lend it. This is how new money is injected into the system to account for new wealth, i.e., the newly manufactured goods and services presumably created with the loaned capital. But money is loaned with an associated interest rate, so more money must be paid back than was created with the loan. That extra money can only come f

humanity deserves privacy

Fri, 20 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT

If the only way to ensure that socially deleterious uses of the internet were insecure is to make everyone insecure, I don’t think that leaves the world better off...

violence

Sat, 07 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT

When you call yourself an Indian or a Muslim or a Christian or a European, or anything else, you are being violent. Do you see why it is violent? Because you are separating yourself from the rest of mankind. When you separate yourself by belief, by nationality, by tradition, it breeds violence. So a man who is seeking to understand violence does not belong to any country, to any religion, to any political party or partial system; he is concerned with the total understanding of mankind.

texts are vulnerable

Wed, 12 Oct 2016 00:00:00 GMT

Texts are vulnerable because it’s too easy to transfer someone’s phone number to another device. In many cases, all you need is a name and the last four digits of their SSN, or just a gullible person on the carrier’s customer service line. Once someone has your phone number on their device, they can get into whatever account they please.

purpose comes from hollywood

Sun, 18 Sep 2016 00:00:00 GMT

So much of what we understand about purpose at work comes from Hollywood. Stories are a powerful way to learn, but most of the stories we see on a screen give us a romanticized view of the role of purpose in our work. They build myths about purpose that actually make it harder for us to focus on what matters.

Sat, 03 Sep 2016 00:00:00 GMT

Skateboarding should not be in the Olympics because there’s no way to judge or put points on the way someone skates. **When you compete in the Olympics you can’t roll by your own rules, which is the nature of our culture.** Also, people from the Olympic Committee who are responsible for this shit only see skateboarding as something that they can profit on. They don’t care about our values, our culture. They don’t represent us in any way. I bet most of them have never stepped on a board. They j

quality of happiness

The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one. The happiness of credulity is a cheap and dangerous quality of happiness, and by no means a necessity of life.

Don't practice in front of the camera, don't publish it on YouTube every time you get a new trick—it's not about that. If you do it for the sake of loving it, and you don't care whether you're seen or not, or paid or not, all that stuff will come. But enjoy the process! If you start doing things for the sake of selling up front, for rewards, then it's going to catch up to you. The other guys not chasing money are going to outdo you in the end, because real innovation and grit come from loving

information foraging

Sun, 31 Jul 2016 00:00:00 GMT

Information foraging theory is based on the analogy of an animal deciding what to eat, where it can be found, the best way to obtain it and how much “energy” (how filling) the meal will (be) provide… Imagine a predator, such as a bird of prey, that faces the recurrent problem of deciding what to eat, and we assume that its fitness, in terms of reproductive success, is dependent on energy intake. Energy flows into the environment and comes to be stored in different forms. For the bird of prey, di

crooked career norm

Sat, 30 Jul 2016 00:00:00 GMT

More and more I am seeing people who haven’t followed the traditional career path. When hiring, I look for the narrative that stitches the person’s career together: Why did they make the decisions that they did? What was the trajectory that they found themselves on? I don’t really care that much anymore if you went to a pedigree design school or started at a prestigious company. What I care about is that you learned and grew and there was an intent behind what you were building towards.

Tue, 21 Jun 2016 00:00:00 GMT

But the biggest problem facing the decentralized web is probably neither technical or legal. And that’s getting people to care in the first place. At a time when people spend most of their time in closed-off platforms like Facebook and Snapchat, **so much of what humans digitally produce stays locked up anyway**. Bringing people back to the open web is going to mean creating user experiences that are fun enough and easy enough to persuade people to venture out of the confines of today’s app-cen

Mr. Williams describes Medium’s key benefit as rescuing writers from the “terrible distraction” of formatting chores. But consider the cost. Though he’s baiting the hook with design, he’s also asking you, the writer, to let him control how you offer your work to readers. Meaning, to get the full benefit of Medium’s design, you have to let your story live on Medium, send all your readers to Medium, have your work permanently entangled with other stories on Medium, and

You cannot even bet that the Survivors will have better wealth distribution. Wealth creation will continue away from all the propagated T

trigger words

Fri, 25 Dec 2015 00:00:00 GMT

Trigger words are terms with well-defined meanings which have been endowed with additional power, often emotional in nature, by use and repetition in the legacy media and government schools, employed to evoke a visceral response and short-cut rational thought in the reader. Consider, for example, “controversial”. By itself, the word is entirely devoid of political tilt in any direction: it simply denotes something about which people disagree with some degree of ferocity. But look at how it's us

_You told me the internet is broken, that it was always broken. What do you mean by that and do we have extreme capitalism to blame for it?_ Well, the thing is the internet is really stupid. It works really simply in a simple manner and it doesn’t take any adjustments for censorship. Like, if one cable is gone, you take the traffic through some other place. But thanks to the centralization of the internet, (possible) censorship or surveillance tech is a whole lot harder to get around. Also, be

_The state of the open internet?_ Well, we don’t have an open internet. We haven’t had an open internet for a long time. So, we can’t really talk about the open internet because it does not exist anymore. The problem is, nobody stops anything. We are losing privileges and rights all of the time. We are not gaining anything anywhere. The trend is just going in one direction: a more closed and more controlled internet. That has a big impact on our society. Because they are the same thing today.

Generally speaking, the causes of cognitive load can be traced back to three main factors: 1. Too many choices, 2. Too much thought required 3. Lack of clarity. Each of these factors will require processing and takes up mental resources that doesn’t actually help users understand the content.

Sun, 15 Nov 2015 00:00:00 GMT

Scientists have no way to quantify or measure whether creative output is any good. The problem is that we’re trying to do studies on things that enhance or improve or even disrupt creativity. And in order to actually make something like that work, or feasible, we have to have a way of measuring whether the creativity was improved or worsened, and I don’t know how to do that. Yet.

animals killed by farming

Tue, 13 Oct 2015 00:00:00 GMT

Are animals killed in the process of farming vegetarian foods? Massive. Massive numbers. I grew up in a farming community. In the spring "plow", no snake moves fast enough to escape the plow. Most infant rodents and hatchlings are helpless as well. As a kid, I had to "brush mow" the field next to my parents' house and I remember being okay with every critter perishing but bunnies. I'm a sucker for bunnies. Every year, I'd freak out and try to save 'em. No luck. They were minced into bunny bits

The present time was personified as **Kairos**, the god of opportunity, a man with wings on his shoulders and heels... **Kairos time** is **opportunity time**.

why is japan so safe

Tue, 07 Jul 2015 00:00:00 GMT

Japan is safe for four main reasons. I'll compare it to America since that's where I'm from: Japan is much more ethnically and economically homogenous. Racial tensions are tiny compared to the U.S. Income differences are very small compared to the States. This leads to less jealousy and incentive to rob/steal. CEOs don't take multi-million dollar bonuses when the company is in trouble. This is closely related to the third reason... Group mentality is emphasized over the individual. This has it

You’ll be able to set up wireless tethering, even if it has been disabled by default. Additional benefits include the ability to install special apps and flash custom ROMs, each of which can add extra features and streamline your phone or tablet’s performance.

Do some salary research into your field or the field you hope to work in. Does the average salary get you where you want to go? How quickly? If you have big goals, you might need to consider a different field or a side hustle to make up the difference.

The advantage an O2O business provides for consumers can vary. Some O2O businesses, like daily deals sites, offer consumers discounts on offline experiences like meals at restaurants or movie tickets. Some

Whitespace is an esoteric programming language. It uses only whitespace characters (space, tab, and return), ignoring all other characters. This is the reverse of many traditional languages, which do not distinguish between different whitespace characters, treating tab and space the same. It also allows Whitespace programs to be hidden in the source code of programs in languages like C. It was released on 1 April 2003 (April Fool's Day).

Clouds, unmoved, a child laughs out loud in the courtyard, above the heavens.

book vs blogpost

Thu, 29 Jan 2015 00:00:00 GMT

Why a book vs. blog posts? Blog posts are an excellent way to spread knowledge, but they are typically ephemeral. This is particularly challenging in the fast-paced world of tooling. By harnessing the collaborative power of the front-end community, we feel we can create a reliable, succinct resource that is kept up to date in the open. Anyone can get access to it. Anyone can improve it.

what the web needs

Thu, 29 Jan 2015 00:00:00 GMT

We need to find a whole lot of new business models. I think we should develop new payment protocols, so that when you’re using a web browser, it’s a lot easier to pay for things.

parenting hongkong

Mon, 12 Jan 2015 00:00:00 GMT

Raising kids is a competitive sport. Parents change religions or move houses just to have access to the best schools. Two-year-old toddlers learn three languages, two musical instruments, martial arts, ballet, swimming and art to get a leg up on the competition. Tutoring kids is among the best paying jobs you can have in Hong Kong.

I see so many gifted skateboarders, they all want it, they all have vision, but they don't get there. And that's because they don't have the one thing I can't teach them, because it only comes from the process of falling and getting up again and again and again and again. That process changes who you are.

apple design

Wed, 24 Dec 2014 00:00:00 GMT

"I think the biggest misconception is this belief that the reason Apple products turn out to be designed better, and have a better user experience, or are sexier, or whatever ... is that they have the best design team in the world, or the best process in the world," Kawano says. But in his role as user experience evangelist, meeting with design teams from Fortune 500 companies on a daily basis, he absorbed a deeper truth. "It's actually the engineering culture, and the way the organization is

So next time you read an article comparing Grunt to Gulp, or another build tool, remember that it's comparing a butler to a chef! This isn't some code golf nonsense, it's a crucial and under-discussed point: in just about every other discipline, craftspeople are expected to maintain their own tools.

Thu, 04 Dec 2014 00:00:00 GMT

The Agile Manifesto is based on 12 principles: 1. Customer satisfaction by rapid delivery of useful software. 2. Welcome changing requirements, even late in development. 3. Working software is delivered frequently (weeks rather than months). 4. Close, daily cooperation between business people and developers. 5. Projects are built around motivated individuals, who should be trusted. 6. Face-to-face conversation is the best form of communication (co-location). 7. Working software is

avoid images

Thu, 04 Dec 2014 00:00:00 GMT

**Avoid images if possible.** Before opening this can of worms, remember that the web has many powerful technologies that are largely resolution- and DPI-independent. Specifically, text, SVG and much of CSS will "just work" because of the automatic pixel scaling feature of the web (via devicePixelRatio). That said, you can't always avoid raster images. For example, you may be given assets that would be quite hard to replicate in pure SVG/CSS, or you are dealing with a photograph.

calendars

Thu, 04 Dec 2014 00:00:00 GMT

**Why do the dates vary?** As with the June solstice, the December solstice’s varying dates are mainly due to the calendar system. The Gregorian calendar, which is used in most western countries, has 365 days in a common year and 366 days in a leap year. However, the tropical year, which is the length of time the sun takes to return to the same position in the seasons cycle (as seen from Earth), is different to the calendar year. The tropical year is approximately 365.242199 days

choice

Thu, 04 Dec 2014 00:00:00 GMT

**Decide for me but let me have the final say.** Take your best guess and act rather than asking first. Too many choices and decisions make people unhappy. Just in case you get it wrong, allow for 'undo'.

cofounding

Thu, 04 Dec 2014 00:00:00 GMT

Minimum viable co-founder: Finding other people to create a minimum viable product is a common challenge for new companies and startups. The concept of minimum viable co-founder is based on looking for a co-founder with the following attributes: - Trust - Exceptional at building or selling - Company commitment - Personally likable - Productivity - Reasonable - Rational - Realistic

give people confidence

Thu, 04 Dec 2014 00:00:00 GMT

**I should always know where I am.** Give people confidence that they know their way around. Make places in your app look distinct and use transitions to show relationships among screens. Provide feedback on tasks in progress.

important

Thu, 04 Dec 2014 00:00:00 GMT

**Only interrupt me if it's important.** Like a good personal assistant, shield people from unimportant minutiae. People want to stay focused, and unless it's critical and time-sensitive, an interruption can be taxing and frustrating.

minimum viable team

Thu, 04 Dec 2014 00:00:00 GMT

Minimum viable team. Founders with an early-stage company are faced with the same challenge of building a team with minimal people and cost. The process starts by listing out the basic functions of a particular company (e.g., engineer, operations, finance) and then stripping down to the abstract job activities and skills that the company must have in order to operate.

Thu, 04 Dec 2014 00:00:00 GMT

infinitely stupid

Wed, 19 Nov 2014 00:00:00 GMT

Now, the evolutionary argument is that our populations have always supported a small number of truly innovative people, and they're somehow different from the rest of us. But it might even be the case that that small number of innovators just got lucky. And this is something that I think very few people will accept. They'll receive it with incredulity. But I like to think of it as what I call social learning and, maybe, the possibility that we are infinitely stupid.

The Master said to a monk: "At times my shout is like the precious sword of the Diamond King. At times my shout is like a golden-haired lion crouching on the ground. At times my shout is like the search pole and the shadow grass. At times my shout doesn't work like a shout at all. Do you understand?" The monk started t

Thu, 02 Oct 2014 00:00:00 GMT

The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias manifesting in unskilled individuals suffering from illusory superiority, mistakenly rating their ability much higher than is accurate. This bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognise their ineptitude. Conversely, people with true ability tend to underestimate their relative competence based on the erroneous or exaggerated claims made by unskilled people.

monogamy

Fri, 22 Aug 2014 00:00:00 GMT

Monogamy is a social construct that was born from the agricultural revolution. It was like an exchange of favors. The woman would commit to staying with one man for protection, shelter and food; the man, in turn, would know that all the children born were his. Before this, everything was shared, including sexual partners. Sexual relationships were more liberal and equal, as they still are in some native tribes around the world.

They did far better if left to focus on their projects without interruption for a large chunk of the day, and had to collaborate with no more than one colleag

Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s a big difference between “being a writer” and writing. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone writing. “You’ve got to want to write”, I say to them, “not want to be a writer”.

Singaporean and Malaysian accent very shiok you know! When Singaporeans try to talk like ang mor, people think they are 香蕉人 (literal banana man) - yellow on the outside but white on inside.

One hundred years from now, the role of science and technology will be about becoming part of nature rather than trying to control it.

Darwin’s theory is not just “survival of the fittest”. It’s often “survival of the luckiest”.

best experience is no experience

Thu, 21 Jun 2012 00:00:00 GMT

**The Best Experience Is Inexperience** Before joining Facebook, Amir Michael spent more than five and a half years as a hardware engineer at Google. He had debugged motherboards and power supplies, but he had never designed his own server. And that’s why he was suited for building one for Facebook. “My vision wasn’t cluttered,” he says. “I had worked on individual components, but I never sat back and looked at the whole system.”

pay farmers or hospitals

Tue, 10 Aug 2010 00:00:00 GMT

With all these things I've been learning about the food system, it seems to me that we can either pay the farmer, or we can pay the hospital.

It seems to me like corporations are always trying to get kids, like me, to get their parents to buy stuff that really isn't good for us or the planet.

exposures to nature

Tue, 19 May 2009 00:00:00 GMT

Studies show that even short exposures to nature can help recharge the mind’s creative potential. You’ve been sitting behind the artificially polarized light of your monitor for days on end. A walk through the woods in the brisk Autumn air will do you some good and with any luck, will help you arrive at an ideal solution to your problem.

biological imperatives

Fri, 01 Feb 2002 00:00:00 GMT

One set of ideas or another have simply replaced our biological imperatives in our own lives. This is what our summum bonum is. It's not maximizing the number of grandchildren we have. Now, this is a profound biological effect. It's the subordination of genetic interest to other interests. And no other species does anything at all like it.

infectious ideas

Fri, 01 Feb 2002 00:00:00 GMT

Well, it's ideas that hijack our brains. Now, am I saying that a sizable minority of the world's population has had their brain hijacked by parasitic ideas? No, it's worse than that. Most people have. There are a lot of ideas to die for. Freedom, if you're from New Hampshire. Justice. Truth. Communism. Many people have laid down their lives for communism, and many have laid down their lives for capitalism. And many for Catholicism. And many for Islam. These are just a few of the ideas that are t

being digital

If you think about it, being digital is Italian. It's underground, provocative, interactive. It has humor, discourse, and debate. It has a kind of liveliness to it.

through negation

Sat, 07 Jan 1967 00:00:00 GMT

Through negation, you come to the most positive, which is non-ideology. I deny for myself that I am a Hindu. I have denied it long ago; it is too stupid – to say, ‘I am an Indian, I am a Brahmin,’ is too infantile and immature. So I say, ‘I don’t belong to India, I am not an Indian citizen, except for a passport.’ Unfortunately, I must have that to travel, but I am not an Indian, with all the superstitions, gods, traditions and background. I see where that leads to, the Indian philosophy: I see
