- If their action contradicts their speech, believe the action.

- The costs of controversy are immediate, but survivable.

The costs of cowardice are delayed, but lethal.

- Boredom is a failure of imagination.

- Jealousy is information.

It tells you what you desire, what you admire, what you despise in yourself.

You could learn from the person you envy if you weren't blinded by resentment.

Learning feels better than loathing.

- We project our fantasies onto things we don't have.

We project our insecurities onto things we do have.

In both cases we are blind to the true nature of the thing.

- Outraged agreement and outraged disagreement are equally desirable for the click-bait "journalist" who is paid by the pageview.

- A toxic relationship with the past poisons the future.
