— You were born owning nothing and with nothing you will pass out of this life. Be frugal and you can be generous.

Luxury Paradox

The more expensive something is the less likely you are to use it, so the relationship between price and utility is an inverted U. Ferraris sit in garages; Hondas get driven.

— Are you taking a taxi from the start to the finish line of a marathon because it's efficient? Like speed-reading poetry?

@Inkzy


— It is the mark of an educated mind to entertain a thought without accepting it.

@Inkzy


What’s the most leveraged, uncommon skill I can learn today?

@Inkzy


— If you are like most people, then like most people, you don't know you're like most people.

@Inkzy


— People are good at not noticing things they could do, but would be really hard.

@Inkzy


— When deciding what to do, the best choice is often one that's simple but hard.

— Wind extinguishes a candle and energizes fire.

— The supply of time is truly a daily miracle. You wake up in the morning and lo! Your wallet is magically filled with 24 hours of the unmanufactured tissue of the universe of your life! It is yours. We shall never have more time. We have, and have always had, all the time there is.

— We live in a world where dopamine is a commodity, traded freely by apps, substances, and screens, leaving our ancient brains overwhelmed by a modernity they were never designed to navigate.

@Inkzy


— You are rich if and only if money you refuse tastes better than money you accept.

Motion is easy. Results are hard.

Preparations are necessary but not sufficient for achieving results.

The actions we take are often just preparations for what we really want to accomplish.

We read a diet book instead of dieting.

We learn how to use Shopify or Woo commerce instead of starting a store.

When we confuse preparations with the end instead of the means, we really trick ourselves.

— If you see fraud and do not say fraud, you are a fraud.

@Inkzy


— Oddly, we often praise people for fixing problems they could have avoided.

@Inkzy


— You do not want to be in a perverse incentive system that’s causing you to behave more and more foolishly or worse and worse — incentives are too powerful a control over human cognition or human behavior. If you’re in one of these systems, I don’t have a solution for you. You’ll have to figure it out for yourself, but it’s a significant problem.

Skin in the Game

A filtering mechanism that forces cooks to eat their own cooking and be exposed to harm in the event of failure, thus throws dangerous people out of the system. Fields that have skin in the game: plumbing, dentistry, surgery, engineering, activities where operators are evaluated by tangible results or subjected to ruin and bankruptcy. Fields where people have no skin in the game: circular academic fields where people rely on peer assessment rather than survival pressures from reality.

Rent seeking in academia

There is a conflict of interest between a given researcher and the subject under consideration. The objective function of an academic department (and person) becomes collecting citations, honors, etc. at the expense of the purity of the subject: for instance many people get stuck in research corners because it is more beneficial to their careers and to their department.

— Those who talk should do and only those who do should talk.

@Inkzy


— The tragedy of modernity: we grew up thinking that ideas matter, in the sense that having the right ideas makes you good, rather than the right actions.
