@JohnathanBi @JohnathanBi Providing this related Kierkegaard quote about Hegel. As you well know, this is one of many anti Hegelian remarks that he would make over his career. .

A wonderful public display of Stoic philosophy from Geno Smith.

[Bob Condotta @bcondotta]

Geno Smith asked today whether he ever got frustrated during his seven years as a backup says no: "My tough times would be a dream to someone else.''

via ⁦@nytimes⁩ If we had only 5 issues to work on over a lifetime, this would make the list. Creating affordable housing that builds equity and wealth is key to more middle class livelihoods. This is an emergency disguised as boring housing policy. https://t.co/le79nfpiAt

Tonight, I genuinely have hope that somehow, someway we will begin the hard journey of building a more unified future. One that's focused on the potential of all of us. We can and we must. #soulofamerica

Are you doing this work to facilitate growth or to become famous?

So many of our problems boil down to the proliferation of logic that is simple, seductive and ultimately wrong. Challenging our emotional & intellectual impulses is one of the most important things we can do.

I see @realDonaldTrump is going after my former boss and long-time friend & colleague Colin Powell. Lots I could say; what I will say is that Colin Powell personifies what is best about this country: public service, honesty, courage, decency, character, giving back. Enough said.

“So keep yourself simple, good, pure, serious, unpretentious, a friend of justice, god fearing, kind, full of affection, strong for your proper work. Life is short. The one harvest of existence on earth is a godly habit of mind and social action” Marcus Aurelius "Meditations"

It's said if you're not a liberal when you're twenty, you have no heart; if you're not a conservative when you're forty, you have no head. I'd add, at least in my case: If you're not rethinking some conservative orthodoxies in your sixties, you haven't been learning from life.

.@SamanthaJPower is a Pulitzer winner, an incredible writer, and a great friend. Her memoir, The Education of an Idealist, grapples with the balance between idealism, pragmatism, advocacy, and governance. It's a must-read for anyone who cares about our role in a changing world.

Agree that this was mostly unnecessary and did nothing to alter, importantly, the long-term growth trajectory. However, reducing the corporate tax rate is important to global competitiveness. Could have been done more responsibly.

[Catherine Rampell @crampell]

Major independent forecasters (Fed, CBO, IMF, Wall St economists) currently predict 2019 GDP growth of ~2.2%.
That means we spent $2T on a tax cut that will got us to...exactly the average rate of growth we saw during Obama’s 2nd term

I can emphatically attest to this: 1) meditate 2) let-go 3) obtain clarity of purpose. Thanks for bringing attention to the powerful simplicity of this process, Ethan.

[John Karabias @jkarabias]

We must elevate, highlight, and celebrate small triumphs of kindness and human decency more often.

[Alexis Benveniste @apbenven]

You need to watch this immediately.

[John Karabias @jkarabias]

This in incredibly important, Roger. I’m interested in how we can incentivize more graduating students into noble public service. We need our best and brightest in gov’t given the challenges our region and country face. Thanks for doing this work.

How was society able to prosper for so long while only using one computer monitor? Attempting to work without a second monitor is a nuisance of the highest order. Modern day hotels should provide easy to use plug ins.

Beautiful sentiment from Stephen Colbert and a poignant reminder of the 10,000 joys and 10,000 sorrows of existence.

[Anderson Cooper 360° @AC360]

You said "what punishment of gods are not gifts. Do you really believe that?" @andersoncooper, choking back tears, asks Stephen Colbert, as they discuss grief.

"Yes," replies the comedian. "It's a gift to exist and with existence comes suffering. There's no escaping that."

[Aspen Ideas @aspenideas]

"The federal government in the U.S. subsidizes the most unhealthy food crops — soy beans, corn — and therefore those are what are inexpensive. So why don’t we subsidize vegetables and fruits?"
