Learn to write because writing is thinking formalized.

First, you need a problem. A problem that grips you so that you feel a desire to investigate. The next thing you need to do is have something to say about the issue. And reading is brilliant for that. You should read as much as you can about how to address the problem you have.

Now you have new information at your disposal, and it’s your job to elegantly formulate that - while being precise in your word choice. You then organize your sentences correctly. And your paragraphs. Hopefully, now the whole thing is coherent enough to make sense.

While this is happening, you are sharpening your tools. You’re learning to think. And you improve your ability to think by learning to write. Pick some severe problems and learn to write very, very carefully.

If you are a competent writer, speaker - communicator - you have all of the authority and competence that there is.

Learn to write because writing is thinking formalized. If you can think, and speak, and write, you are absolutely deadly.

It's almost unbelievable the effects that consistent incremental progress can have on your life.

Straighten yourself out. Fix the things you can fix. Keep it up for 10 or 20 years and you will transform your life in unimaginable ways.

"She didn’t like Europe, because she didn’t like the main European nationalities. I mean, the Germans and the French. She didn’t mind the Italians, but she couldn’t take the Italians seriously, but she rather liked them... She never forgave the Germans for the war, and she thought the French were sharpers, sly, cunning, and devious people. She worked in stereotypes.

She rather liked the Americans, and she never forgot what the United States did in World War II, how desperate Britain’s condition was, and how overwhelmingly helpful the Americans were. She had great admiration for Roosevelt."

“There is much more we don’t know about the universe than we do. What people don’t realize though or give credit to is that there is a lot we do understand.”

Delving deep into the world of quantum physics, Lawrence and I sit down to discuss a variety of topics in the mind-boggling world of quantum physics. We discuss the intricacies involving generated models of the beginning of our universe, the lawbreaking complexities of quantum physics, the ramifications related to entropy, the usefulness of the scientific method, as well as the instinctive behaviour for religious compulsion among human beings.

"Are we willing to pay the price for our words to be valuable?"

When I was a guest on Andrew Schulz's podcast, he shared this story about his friend's honesty.

If everything is valuable, that means everything is of equal value. As a consequence, that means nothing is of value.

Fail effectively.

"...I think that training to fail effectively, namely, to find that the thing you were trying to show was wrong. But nevertheless, the process by which you discovered that is very useful and could be useful somewhere else..."

"That’s what philosophy, literature, I would expect your speciality, it is always those who have thought more deeply, more profoundly, and I have better equipment that gives us things. That’s why it’s so deplorable: this petty fascism of wokeness is suffocating the number one energy of any free society."
