Glad so many people enjoyed today's newsletter about conspiracy theories and why people believe them... because I certainly paid a price for it. Inbox was a shitshow. Lost faith in humanity by 1PM. Was drinking by 3PM. markmanson.net/newsletters/mo…

I look for the good in people. Sometimes I get hurt for it, but it's rare and it's worth it. You may hear me say optimistic things that sound naive. I'm not naive. I've read too much history to be naive. I just think love wins out over the darker parts of human nature in the end.

You have your goals. I call the way you will operate to achieve your goals your machine. It consists of a design (the things that have to get done) and the people (who will do the things that need getting done). Those people include you and those who help you.

There is no avoiding pain, especially if you’re going after ambitious goals. Believe it or not, you are lucky to feel that kind of pain if you approach it correctly, because it is a signal that you need to ﬁnd solutions so you can progress.

“Sleep is the interest we have to pay on the capital which is called in at death; and the higher the rate of interest and the more regularly it is paid, the further the date of redemption is postponed.” ― Arthur Schopenhauer

“If it is right, it happens — The main thing is not to hurry. Nothing good gets away.” Every once in a while, it helps to revisit and reabsorb Steinbeck's beautiful advice on love to his lovesick teenage son: brainpickings.org/2012/01/12/joh…

People typically feel bad about their mistakes because they are shortsighted about the bad outcome and not about the evolutionary process of which mistakes are an integral part. Every mistake that you make and learn from will save you from thousands of similar future mistakes.

There is no such thing as change without pain, no growth without discomfort. That’s why it is impossible to become someone new without first grieving the loss of who you used to be. #EverythingIsFucked

The reality is... a hero and a coward, they are no different. They feel the exact same things in life. It is what the hero does with the fear that makes him a hero. It is what the coward does with the fear that makes him a coward. -Chatri Sityodtong @yodchatri

If your reputation can’t absorb a few blows, it wasn’t worth anything in the first place.

“If there is no struggle there is no progress…This struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, and it may be both more and physical, but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.” Frederick Douglass
