This is some odd advice. It boils down to “do something meaningful and forget about being happy.” I’d argue you actually need to do both.

[Startup Wisdom @StartupWisdom_]

Peter Thiel on how you should think about your future:

"What you end up doing when you think of the future as indefinite is you pick a job that you think will look good on your resume, because it will lead to a different job later on. There's even a credentialing version where you go to grad school, you get a consulting job, and you think of it as this branching tree diagram where you never really do something that you want to do.

You can think of the future on three horizons. Very short-term is: are you going to be happy, and will you be learning a lot? Medium-term is: how good is it on your resume? And very long-term is: are you working on something important or meaningful? We're in a skewed world where we overweight the medium-term and underweight some combination of the short-term and the long-term. I would recalibrate to focus on the short-term and the long-term, and forget about the medium-term."

“Was violence predictable?”

Yes, from the day he came down the escalator.

Please don’t act like everyone loved my father. He was assassinated. A 1967 poll reflected that he was one of the most hated men in America. Most hated. Many who quote him now and evoke him to deter justice today would likely hate, and may already hate, the authentic King. #MLK

@HBSAlumni @etpuisfume @EfosaOjomo @HussainAsim It is actually possible to get meaningful work done remotely from multiple time zones and remote locations via video conference. I came in a big doubter.

Opinion: "The violent Know-Nothingism, which has always coursed through American history, is once again a torrent, threatening more violence in the days ahead."via @NYTOpinion

Often we forget how much of this there has been in American history. https://t.co/KPSJBD6d8W

Keep up the good work @RepJayapal. As a WA constituent you make me proud.

I will not rest until I do everything in my power to remove this President from office.

A very good rule of thumb shared by a friend. How can I be confident in my beliefs? The Nazi side is always the wrong side. Always.

I honestly don't get what's so difficult about "Don't threaten, conspire, or attempt to forcibly overthrow the government of the United States."
