On average: Men are more interested in things. Women are more interested in people.

This is the most significant difference we know of, psychologically, between men and women.

The Skavlan Show - October 2018.

It's okay to surround yourself with people who are helping you be better and to shy away from people who are willing to drag you down.

You are not obligated to associate with people that are trying to damage the structure of your being.

Move away from people like that.

A Future of Technological Order and Moral Void.

"The West, the world at large, could very easily become a technological order set over a moral vacuum... That’s not to say the technology is bad. It is to say rather that it must take its place relative to a higher-order series of conversations." - Stephen Blackwood (Ralston College)

Use fear and rewards to motivate yourself.

You want to have your fear behind you, pushing you and your reward or ideal in front of you, pulling you forward.

There’s some real utility in gratitude.

It’s also good protection against the dangers of victimhood and resentment. Your colleague outperforms you at work. His wife, however, is having an affair, while your marriage is stable and happy.

Who has it better?

Over the past two years, there has been immense support for my family, wife, and me, and it has been overwhelmingly positive. It really exceeded any expectations I would have to begin with.

You have to be a fool before you can be a master. And if you're not willing to be a fool, then you cannot become a master.

The fool precedes the master.

You have to grow some teeth and be willing to use them.

You might argue, "Well, I shouldn't be able to bite people" - the thing is, you should be able to and with the necessary force. Because if you're able to bite people, generally, it's the case that you don't have to.

Wealth Inequality Drives Innovation.

Robert Murphy: "You can just see how, given human nature and the limits of what people’s expertise is, that distributing and decentralizing it, and allowing for the possibility of massive fortunes to accumulate is a better engine for innovation."

Set your house in perfect order before you criticize the world.

Don't avoid small problems that you know are present.

Face them; otherwise, they'll grow into bigger problems because things that you ignore have a life of their own.

The distribution of tyranny and power.

Is having the power of decision-making better when it's distributed across multiple tyrants instead of just one sole, central tyrant?

Robert and I discuss this idea and what it entails in our podcast together.

Should everybody be equal?

We trade on our inequalities. You're better at something than I am, and I am better at something than you are. We add in the monetary aspect of the trade, and it works out rather well as we trade these services to one another.

If you pursue impulsive please to the detriment of the development of your character, you're going to end up a slave to a tyrant.

Why you should outsource work.

Dr. Murphy explains that just because you can do a task and do it well, there is still utility in outsourcing that task.

This allows you to focus on what you're really good at and what is most important to you.

Robert and I discuss the idea of prejudices in business and hiring practices.

Robert Murphy: "...if it really were true that in the United States women only get paid whatever the number is, 88 cents, for the same work. It’s a mystery. How come all the firms that are run by greedy capitalists aren’t hiring just women because they bring in the same output?"
