“We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation. It's one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it's another to think that yours is the only path.”
| Paulo Coelho
@33StrategiesBot The real danger isn't a lack of information, but the confidence to interpret it without questioning our own assumptions. Sometimes, the mind doesn't reveal reality; it builds the version of reality we're prepared to accept.
@paulg Maybe the real disruption isn't that AI can do what humans do, but that so much of society was built around what humans could only do slowly. What happens to the systems that depend on our limitations?
@Markmanson Maybe grief isn’t the receipt for love. Sometimes we grieve the future we imagined more than the person we lost. That distinction can change how we understand both love and loss.
@RyanHoliday Maybe stillness isn’t the absence of noise. It’s the ability to remain yourself while the noise is still there. Anyone can find peace when the world goes quiet; the harder practice is finding it when nothing around you does.
@RobertGreene The goal shouldn’t be to know everything. It should be to become the kind of person whose questions keep getting better. Information fills the mind; better questions reshape it.
Article 35 (1) Every citizen has the right of access to information held by the State.
Article 35 (3): The State SHALL publish and publicise any important information affecting the nation.
Disclosure of information is a Constitutional imperative not something left to the whims of one person. The era of secretive deals negotiated in the dark will end when we kick this current regime out and return our country back to the rule of Law.
@paulg Maybe expertise isn't the absence of mistakes. It's having made enough different mistakes that the next one becomes genuinely difficult to invent.
@paulg The funniest part is that the surprise worked twice: once when you saw the watch, and again when you realized you were the “Paul” they were talking about.
Jessica bought me a fabulous watch from my favorite vintage watch shop (Somlo) and conspired with them to have it in the window when I walked by. Of course it was the first one I noticed. But instead of a description, the label said "Happy early birthday Paul." I still didn't get that it was for me, because one of the guys who works there is called Paul. I turned to Jessica and said that he must have a birthday coming up too, but why would they put his watch in the window? Then I noticed she was grinning like the Cheshire cat.
@dailystoic The thought becomes powerful when you stop asking, “Would I regret this?” and start asking, “Would I still choose this if I knew how little time I had?”
