Curiosity

It is simple: depending on others is misery; depending on yourself is power.

[Dr Jordan B Peterson @jordanbpeterson]

Life without meaning is the breeding ground of despair.

[Jonathan Haidt @JonHaidt]

I'm glad to see that my 2022 Atlantic article, "Why the past 10 years of American life have been uniquely stupid," is back on the "most popular" list. As I said there, "It's going to get much worse" thanks to AI and ongoing structural stupidity:

People who got their ideas on long walks

Aristotle, Kant, Rousseau, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, Kierkegaard, Dante, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Blake, T. S. Eliot, Woolf, Yeats, Dickens, Darwin, Einstein, Tesla, Jobs, Beethoven, Mahler, Van Gogh, Picasso

but yeah you don't need to

The core skills of learning are a critical eye and an open mind.

Critical thinking is refusing to accept ideas at face value. Don't believe information until it's verified.

Openness is refusing to reject ideas at face value. Don't disbelieve information until it's falsified.

[Kevin Szabo @KevinSzabo14]

Overthinkers get luckier in life once they notice they didn’t lack intelligence, but the courage to act.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

The most important reason to treat people well is not what you'll get in return. It's who you hope to become.

Kindness is not about reciprocity or karma. It's about character.

Civility doesn't need to be justified with consequences. Respecting others is the right thing to do.

Today we have a great post from @FreeRangeKids on how the arrival of smartphones and perpetual tracking made PARENTS into an anxious generation, which interferes with the development of their children. @LetGrowOrg

Here's Freya India with another powerful post at After Babel: How social media redefined at "gutted" friendship. Quantity pushed out quality. Loneliness increased for her generation as a whole:

Here's a great summary of The Anxious Generation, in tweets. Thank you @SketchesbyBoze

[Jonathan Haidt @JonHaidt]

Here is my response to that Nature essay that claimed I have "no evidence" that social media is causing harm to adolescents. (It's a condensed version of my longer post on AfterBabel).

Thanks to @JoinPersuasion for inviting it and shortening it:

Thank you @StevenHeine4. Yes, Anxious Generation is a book about cultural and social psychology. Rapid changes in enculturation processes can produce rapid changes in.... everything.

The hallmark of an open mind is refusing to let your ideas become your identity.

If you define yourself by your opinions, questioning them is a threat to your integrity.

If you see yourself as a curious person or a lifelong learner, changing your mind is a moment of growth.

[Jonathan Haidt @JonHaidt]

TikTok harms kids in so many ways, and has so much influence over what they believe. It is insane that we let kids live on a platform that is legally bound to obey the CCP. @chairmang is right: Bytedance must sell it, or else America (or its parents) will need to ban it.

[Robert Greene @RobertGreene]

People are more complicated than the masks they wear in society.

[Robert Greene @RobertGreene]

Do not leave your reputation to chance or gossip; it is your life’s artwork, and you must craft it, hone it, and display it with the care of an artist.

[Dr Jordan B Peterson @jordanbpeterson]

The secret to your existence is right in front of you. And it manifests itself as all those things you know you should do but you’re avoiding.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Humility isn't a sign of low self-esteem. It's a mark of high self-awareness.

The goal isn't to deny your strengths. It's to see your strengths & shortcomings accurately. The first rule of improvement: recognize room for improvement.

Narcissism feeds ego. Humility fuels growth.

[Robert Greene @RobertGreene]

You must value learning above everything else.
