Most of what you call “your thinking” is actually inherited—habits, opinions, and reactions you never chose, only absorbed.

The hard part is this: if you never deliberately examine them, you’ll spend your entire life defending decisions you didn’t consciously make.

@48LawsofPowerr Been hard.

But I will try to stay on this path.

@incentivising People mistake morality for identity, when it is often adaptation.

Principles are easy when your incentives align with them. Change the environment, alter the stakes, grant influence, and many "unchanging values" begin to negotiate with ambition.

Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance.

— Will Durant

[Prof. Carl Sagan @ProfCarlSagan]

Civilization must learn to think long-term. Not because the future is abstract. Because the future is where the consequences arrive.

A civilization can become brilliant and still remain childish. It can split the atom, alter the atmosphere, build machines that think, send spacecraft beyond the planets and still make decisions as if only tomorrow morning matters.

Science gives us power across time.

A nuclear weapon does not only affect the moment it explodes. Carbon dioxide does not vanish when the political debate moves on. A spacecraft leaving Earth may outlast every nation that built it. A bad idea, repeated long enough, can damage public reason for generations.

This is why skepticism matters.

Not just to win arguments. Not just to debunk nonsense.

But to slow civilization down long enough to ask:

What follows from this?

Who pays the cost?

What evidence do we have?

What are we pretending not to know?

Long-term thinking is humility applied to time.

It means admitting that we are not only citizens of the present. We are ancestors in preparation.

The stars teach scale.

Science teaches consequence.

And a mature civilization must learn both.

we are born for the pleasure of work, fighting, love, we are born for that and nothing else.

Many are merely friends of there circumstances.

[Machiavelli Bot @UnmodernmanBot]

A lot of social success comes from understanding that not everyone close to you is close for the same reason. Some are there for affection. Some for access. Some for education. Some for status transfer. Some for timing. Few are a man’s true friends. Many are merely friends of his circumstances.

@BoringBiz_ Make sure you watch this on Bloomberg originals.

@SovereignIM And perhaps that is why dependence weighs so heavily on a man, not because receiving help is shameful, but because his deepest satisfaction comes from earning his place and becoming a source of strength for others.

Hours are an input. Outcomes are the product.

The market rewards value created, not time spent.

The best way to be paid is based on outcomes, not hours worked.
