"To give yourself a code of laws is the highest form of freedom." - Heidegger

We have to impose rules on ourselves in order to become free.

Freedom does not equal infitinite optionality.

@chrisbrunet Depends on the person. For sure the people you'd most want to influence read more than the median person.

Don't you yourself get more of your ideas from reading than from watching videos?
