People who are “unconsciously incompetent” don’t know they’re incompetent—they know so little about the subject that they can’t fully appreciate how little they actually know. That’s why every barber and taxi driver you meet is an expert on the economy and international politics.
Josh, Kaufman – The Personal MBA
How we feel is, in large part, determined by how we think we feel.
David J Schwartz – The Magic of Thinking Big
It’s intellectual hubris to think that with a few minutes of googling our opinions are on par with people who have spent their lives in a domain. And yet we’ve been taught that we are entitled to our own opinion and that it deserves equal weighting. Sure you hold your own opinion, but it doesn’t deserve equal weighting.
Distrust of Intellectual Authority
You could be good today. But instead you choose tomorrow.

Freedom is the only worthy goal in life. It is won by disregarding things that lie beyond our control.

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.
Reinhold Niebuhr

L’excellence est un art que l’on n’atteint que par l’exercice constant. Nous sommes ce que nous faisons de manière répétée. L’excellence n’est donc pas une action mais une habitude.
Aristote
La plupart des conseils d’adultes sont des clichés d’merde.
Parce qu’ils ont pas compris l’jeu mais ils suivent les règles.
Orelsan – Notes pour trop tard
1–1+1–1+1–1 ⋯ = 1/2
A = 1–1+1–1+1–1⋯
1-A=1-(1–1+1–1+1–1⋯)
1-A=1–1+1–1+1–1+1⋯
1-A =A
1-A+A=A+A
1 = 2A
1/2 = A
Part of the Ramanujan Summation.
Being humble, here, means being aware of how difficult your instincts can make it to get the facts right. It means being realistic about the extent of your knowledge. It means being happy to say “I don’t know.” It also means, when you do have an opinion, being prepared to change it when you discover new facts. It is quite relaxing being humble, because it means you can stop feeling pressured to have a view about everything, and stop feeling you must be ready to defend your views all the time.
