Watched two episodes of a new show with my wife a few days ago. She’s now on season three. This is why we have our separate shows 😂

Describing your own aura is like giving yourself a nickname. Both are for other people to determine.

The ability of a toddler to turn delicious looking food into unappetizing, inedible mush seizes to amaze me.

Ryan Holiday on Peter Thiel’s thought process: “Thiel's default state is to embody contradiction. Doing so is what makes him such a brilliant investor, considering each trade and investment anew from a dozen perspectives, seeing what others aren't able to see and doing it on a regenerative basis. A friend would say that 'Peter is of two minds on everything. If you were able to open his skull, you would see a number of Mexican standoffs between powerful antagonistic ideas you wouldn't think could be safely housed in the same brain.’”

“Open-mindedness is the willingness to search actively for evidence against one’s favored beliefs, plans, or goals, and to weigh such evidence fairly when it is available. Being open-minded does not imply that one is indecisive, wishy-washy, or incapable of thinking for one’s self. After considering various alternatives, an open-minded person can take a firm stand on a position and act accordingly.”

It’s crazy, they just send you home with a baby. No instruction manual or anything.
