“A man who wishes to profess goodness at all times will come to ruin among so many who are not good."
Niccolò Machiavelli's The Prince (Chapter XV)
- Always and inevitably everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.
- The probability that a certain person be stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.
- A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of people while deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses themselves.
- Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals.
- A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story

"The impure
are the untouched,
the unburned, the unslain.
Those who have not been torn
have no value in themselves
and no place in this world!
They are asleep!
Rejoice!
The broken
are the more evolved."

"No one tells me anything new, so I will tell myself my own story."

“Startups are a bit like smoking in the 50s. Cool people did it, no-one talked about the cancer or the passive smoke effects."

“We build walls of speed to avoid bigger and deeper questions. We keep ourselves busy with distractions so we don’t ask: Am I healthy and happy? Are my children growing up right? Are politicians making good decisions on my behalf? Another reason, and perhaps the most important reason why slowing down is difficult, is the cultural taboo against it. In our culture, ‘slow’ is a dirty word. It is synonymous with lazy and slacker. Synonymous with someone who retreats from their goals, for example, ‘he is a bit slow’ is synonymous with stupidity.”
Carl Honoré, In Praise of Slow
