I want everyone to understand what happened in the last 24 hours

Israel completely failed to illegally invade Lebanon and was forced back by Hezbollah

In response, they dropped chemical weapons on civilians in Beirut, and levelled apartment building after apartment building.

Phrase of the day: Anachronistic Sanctimony;
accusing ancient individuals or groups of violating today's ethical norms; more generally flowing values, beliefs, and standards backward in time.

@waitbutwhy The News Paradox: The more news you consume, the less well-informed you are.

Another example of a classic @nntaleb’s “noise bottleneck”—more data leads to a higher noise-to-signal ratio, so you end up knowing less about what is actually going on.

Friends, this holiday season, try to reach out to those who have little of no friends, no family, and no reason to cheer. They may be involuntarily stuck in a state of loneliness. They don't need your money; they don't need your gifts.
Maybe just a little bit of attention.

@nntaleb Avid reader of the original Sherlock Holmes stories. This does not accurately describe his methodology. But, inadvertently hits point that the *author* begins with the solution (conspiracy) and writes a story to make it happen. Real life more complex, not a detective novel.

"Be tolerant with others and strict with yourself." Marcus Aurelius

[Ryan Holiday @RyanHoliday]

4 Stoic lessons from Marcus Aurelius:

1. The obstacle is the way
2. Be strict with yourself, tolerant with others
3. Stop caring about what others do/say/think
4. You could leave life right now—let that determine what you do and say and think

I’ve created this workshop to help people find deeper meaning and purpose in their life and work by understanding & living their life mission. I'd appreciate it if you could take a look at it & share it with anyone in your life you think it could benefit.
