@naval @Ai009 @ScottAdamsSays Funny that people who understood his views started talking more about him after his death. I had thought of Scott as the kind of person whose philosophy I'm not yet smart enough to understand but someday will.

Reading fiction is to life what rehearsing is to the concert.

I am begging you to read some fiction bro. → Not because it makes you look smart. → Because fiction teaches things that bullet points can’t. → A self-help book tells you to be resilient. → The Count of Monte Cristo makes you live through resilience for 1,000+ pages. → A self-help book tells you to understand people. → Dostoevsky puts you inside minds you’d never otherwise understand. → Information is easy to forget. → Experience isn’t. Read fiction. Your attention span, empathy, vocabulary, and understanding of human nature will improve.

@paulg There's something called LinkedIn content in digital media marketing, which is basically the content that has not more than two lines together. 😂

@paulg Should I generalize "you don't have to explain background knowledge"?

@nireyal Something I noticed is that, if you are easily addicted to good stuff (learning, exercise, etc.), you are also more prone to getting addicted to bad stuff (smoking, pornography, etc.). It's not science but just an observation.
