The most fundamental strength is the ability to use your time productively in the absence of any reward, the refusal to be lazy in the absence of any punishment. All other strengths develop thereafter, on this basis. Restlessness is the first virtue. Satisfaction the final vice.
Ideological purity is boring; people who get dirty make history; people who can live with complex contradictions write books worth reading --fiction or non-fiction.
Prioritize sleep: it's an investment in the next day being better than the last one.
Making 1000 YouTube videos, vs. 1000 visits to a therapist. Which has more of a positive effect on your life? Just in terms of "organizing and presenting your thoughts", it's YouTube, IMO. And hearing your own bullshit back afterward: priceless.
I'm gonna start living a lie; honesty isn't working out; gonna drink sparkling water and tell people it's champagne, to camouflage myself in a society of drunkards.
There is absolutely nothing glamorous, exciting or interesting about the lives of the rich and famous. That's why Tupac joined a street gang, AFTER he was rich. I would rather be reading Aristotle's _Rhetoric_ than standing around at this party.
One man's strawman is another man's scarecrow. (According to Google, I'm the first person to have ever used this turn of phrase... but Google may not have a complete record of every snarky remark in human history.)
10 years ago, when you were a white guy who spoke the local language, other white people would ask you for directions / strike up to conversation / etc. Today, they walk around with their heads looking down at their phones. The digital map transforms the way we see the world.

Wenn man tote Tiere postet, um auf Missstände hinzuweisen, ist man "militant". Wenn man aber tote Tiere postet nachdem sie zubereitet sind bekommt man likes und zustimmung.
In the future: being gay or trans will be BORING. Ethnic diversity doesn’t mean that people are impressed when sb Chinese walks into the room: diversity itself becomes unremarkable. Nobody in Thailand cares if a man dresses as a woman while buying his groceries. It is BORING.
The Dunning–Kruger Effect became a household word, but when you look at the underlying math, it turns out to be a peculiar example of pseudo-science. @thunderf00t youtube.com/watch?v=-2rnaX…

The Dunning–Kruger Effect is NOT Real: Do the Math!
Everyone wants to make excuses for Christianity. For the British Empire. For the status quo. There was a time when artists and intellectuals saw themselves as generating new culture and new traditions; today, theyre the most pretentious employees at the plastic recycling plant.
A relatively brief (30 min.) "remix" of recent lectures from @joannamoncrieff and Dr. Irving Kirsch: trying to get the world to wake up to the questions that were already posed and proven in 1998 (but remain astonishing in 2018). youtu.be/ECFZB5aEG2I
