Sometimes it’s not the best problem-solver who solves the problem; it's the person with the most accurate sense of what the problem is.
How to ruin art and culture: let no-talent HR types tell the creative people what to do.
Expertise will certainly improve with experience, but character may not. Remember this when choosing your long-term collaborators.
Sometimes the enemy of your enemy is an idiot, and you should have nothing to do with them.
It’s often unclear who is really leading an organization until that person leaves.
You don’t have to participate in any of the ambient derangements of the moment. You can just stay sane and practice the classical virtue of temperance.
Read old books to know what prior generations thought. Don’t trust some ax-grinding academic or made up Hollywood movie.
The dumbest opinion is often the most widely discussed because it is maximally attractive to both the outraged and the outrageous.
The player who dreams of the game will win it. The authentically interested will outthink and outwork their opponents in all competitive arenas.
Anger is your alarm bell, not your commanding officer.
Say the self-evident so that it remains so.
Some people use technical words to try and sound smart while others use them to be highly accurate about the specific case. The difference is subtle but apparent when you know the area well.
Attend to the basics because it is all basics forever.
The mere presence of children and the elderly can disturb people who fear confronting their own mortality. The dying and the newly born are both reminders that we will not remain the protagonists of reality forever.
Maybe you are complicating your “lifestyle” to avoid your life.
The censor claims an authority even the jailer does not. He believes he is entitled to cage thought itself.
Any podcast with five guys in a room = 3 hours of talk, 2 minutes of content. An accurate simulation of dorm room chatter for those who miss that.
Trends afflict those who lack purpose.
Don’t improve at what you shouldn’t do.

@TheStoicEmperor Creativity is closer to magic than science and language is insufficient to drill down on it.
@TheStoicEmperor “When you write a script and it goes into four or five different hands, committees, groups - ‘Here’s our thought about this joke.’ Well, that’s the end of your comedy.”
Great thought of the day.
Read old books to know what prior generations thought. Don’t trust some ax-grinding academic or made up Hollywood movie.
@TheStoicEmperor Great way of breaking it down.
Difficult to define dumbest lately. So many competitors…
The dumbest opinion is often the most widely discussed because it is maximally attractive to both the outraged and the outrageous.
I used to think "_____ feels like a parody of itself" was an insult, but I'm starting to think it's a compliment
@TheStoicEmperor Obsession leads to WAY higher odds of winning, for numerous reasons.
@TheStoicEmperor Related: x.com/paulg/status/1…
Continue to use words that the kind of people who like to ban words would like to ban. It keeps the right of way open.
@TheStoicEmperor Many important things get the response of "everyone knows this already" or "this is so obvious". Things so clear and basic are so important that they should be repeated for that exact reason.
@TheStoicEmperor You know , I never thought of it like that. That explains at least one person I know
@TheStoicEmperor That's true. Remembering that we all return to dust one day is all the motivation you need to live your life to the fullest. No one else is going to do it for you.
𝕏 algorithm update coming soon with more bangers and less clickbait!
@TheStoicEmperor It's good to have you back on here
@TheStoicEmperor WHERE YOU BEEEN EMPEROR! Missed ya notifications
Every now and again I remember how absurd and emblematic of humanity’s biggest problems it is that so many people use this unprecedented collective cooperation tool just to fight with strangers
Sometimes you need to see something 20 times before it sinks in. And on the 19th time, you don’t know that the next time will be the one.
