The most frustrating part about modern discourse is that it appears to be a conflict of values, but it's mostly a conflict of information

Your cousin who's panicking about the Cornell 7 probably has no idea what she's talking about

Your friend saying Lindsay Clancy was framed legitimately believes that because she saw it from people she trusts

Your dad thinks you are evil for not opposing data centers because he truly believes they will turn the water brown

Most people these days have their outrage formed for them by an algorithm and do approximately zero research on top of that -- this happens on both sides, by the way

When you're talking with these people you will look like a monster to them because they think you have the same information they do: a college girl was drugged and raped, a mother was abused and framed for murder

The vast majority of people are unable to revisit the assumptions that led them there because that would be like a fish examining water

To them it is totally and completely true, which means any new information is only an attack

On a personal level, please avoid talking politics with people close to you who think this way. It will ruin your relationships

Let’s give Luka his flowers... at just 27 years old, he’s doing everything he can to build the chemistry this new-look team needs and stepping up as the young leader who will carry this franchise for the long haul.

This is your team, @lukadoncic 🫡

How "rich" look like when you grow up:

- Live 10 mins from work, 5 mins from gym
- Quiet neighbors
- Money left after bills
- Peace at work
- Drink coffee calmly
- Sleep without worry
- Laugh with old friends
- Travel monthly
- Wake up without alarm
- Say "no" when you want

Broooo, for real!!! As a kid, I used to see him as that cheap, overbearing dad. Always counting coins, clipping coupons, stressing over every little thing. Funny how he was so annoying to me back then.

But Now? Damn... It’s a whole different story.

I now realize he was just teaching us money discipline, showing us that every small saving you make could help you survive.

That man was a hero. Worked multiple jobs, fixed cars, kept the household running, and even sacrificed his own comfort so that his kids could have the opportunities he never had. Every rule he enforced, every blunt warning, wasn’t him being cruel. It was basically him preparing his kids for how real life worked.

Julius is the kind of dad you roll your eyes at as a kid but then grow up to realize he is a masterclass in responsibility as an adult.

Kobe Bryant: "Failure doesn't exist, it's a figment of your imagination"

An interviewer asks: "Are you someone who loves to win or hates to lose?"

Kobe responds:

"I'm neither. I play to figure things out. I play to learn something. Because if you play with a fear of failure or you play with the will to win that supersedes fear, I think it's a weakness either way. If you play with fear of failing, you'll capitulate to that fear. If you play with the sense of 'I want to win, I want to win,' then you have the fear of what happens if you don't. But if you find common ground in the center, you're unfazed by either. That enables you to stay in the moment and not feel anything other than what's in front of you."

The interviewer asks: "How did you become someone who doesn't seem afraid of failing?"

Kobe responds:

"What does failure mean? It doesn't exist. It's a figment of your imagination."

He explains with an analogy:

"Let's use happy endings. Everybody wants a happy ending, right? Snow White finds her prince and lives happily ever after. Well, I call BS on that because two months later, they had an argument and he's sleeping on the couch. The point is: the story continues. So if you fail on Monday, the only way it's a failure is if you decide to not progress from that. If I fail today, I'm going to learn something from that failure and try again on Tuesday. That's why failure doesn't exist."

The interviewer asks: "If you finished your career without a championship, would you have looked at that as a failure?"

Kobe:

"No. I would look at it as being extremely disappointed, because I had a dream and goals I wanted to accomplish. If I didn't accomplish those goals, I'd have to ask myself why. Poor leadership? Failure to communicate with my teammates? Lack of preparation? Those would be reasons why I didn't win. So I'd have to analyze that. And as I evolved post-basketball into business, those same weaknesses would reveal themselves there too. If I don't learn from that, I'm going to struggle again."

He concludes:

"I can take those situations and learn from them and have them make me a better person later in life. But if I don't take that stuff and apply it someplace else, that's failing. The worst possible thing you can ever do is to stop. It's to not learn."
