But you can't live life in constant anticipation of the improbable worst case. You'd end up living in a bunker underground, eating canned beans with a spoon, dreading an apocalyptic solar flare.
Learning To AskThis royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle, 2This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars, 3This other Eden, demi-paradise, 4This fortress built by Nature for her self 5Against infection and the hand of war, 6This happy breed of men, this little world,
Richard II (excerpts): This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle | RPO“The mystery of human destiny is that we are fated, but that we have the freedom to fulfill or not fulfill our fate: realization of our fated destiny depends on us. While inhuman beings like the cockroach realize the entire cycle without going astray because they make no choices.”
Quote by Clarice Lispector: “The mystery of human destiny is that we are fat...”“What I know at sixty, I knew as well at twenty. Forty years of a long, a superfluous, labor of verification.”
Quote by Emil Cioran: “What I know at sixty, I knew as well at twenty....”“I saw my life branching out before me like the green fig tree in the story. From the tip of every branch, like a fat purple fig, a wonderful future beckoned and winked. One fig was a husband and a happy home and children, and another fig was a famous poet and another fig was a brilliant professor, and another fig was Ee Gee, the amazing editor, and another fig was Europe and Africa and South America, and another fig was Constantin and Socrates and Attila and a pack of other lovers with queer names and offbeat professions, and another fig was an Olympic lady crew champion, and beyond and above…

A Dream Within a Dream by Edgar Allan Poe | Poetry FoundationI can feel for the “constitutional indolence” of which you complain — for it is one of my own besetting sins. I am excessively slothful, and wonderfully industrious — by fits

The Stones of Venice Quotes by John Ruskin“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
Quote by Frank Herbert: “I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear ...”We'd go back to the old interfaces without giving up the conveniences of the new ones. Read, write, communicate, create—and hardly ever see or touch a screen.
The paper computer « the jsomers.net blogIt’s scary to be direct with yourself, because it means that you have to feel emotions you don’t necessarily want to feel. Like guilt, shame, rage and fear. Most people are incredibly afraid of feeling ugly emotions.
the life-changing magic of being direct - by AvaYou never felt yourself fully all the way down because you were scared of what you were going to find. You flinched at your shadow. You fawned, you placated people when you didn’t have to.

Self-sabotage starts as self-protection - by Layla ShaikleyThe people who move forward aren’t less afraid. They’ve just learned to read the signal correctly. The people who don’t move forward don’t lack courage, they start thinking. And thinking too much is where it falls apart.
Self-sabotage starts as self-protection - by Layla ShaikleyAnd don’t worry about losing. If it is right, it happens — The main thing is not to hurry. Nothing good gets away.
John Steinbeck on Falling in Love: A 1958 Letter of Advice to His Lovesick Teenage Son – The MarginalianHow is it that feeling the full depth of my shame is what frees me from it?
nothing will change your life more than saying what you actually want to sayBefore, I never felt the wholeness of my own soul. I was always running from my shadow, too brittle to integrate, flinching at evidence of my own flaws. I didn’t even know how scared I was. I don’t regret who I am anymore, no matter what it costs me.
nothing will change your life more than saying what you actually want to sayHow I linger to admire, admire, admire the things of this world that are kind, and maybe also troubled – roses in the wind, the sea geese on the steep waves, a love to which there is no reply?
Heavy by Mary Oliver • Read A Little PoetryWhoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting -- over and over announcing your place in the family of things.
Wild geese by Mary J Oliver - Famous poems, famous poets. - All Poetryto do the only thing you could do— determined to save the only life you could save.
The Journey - Hello Poetry“I go down to the shore in the morning / and depending on the hour the waves / are rolling in or moving out, / and I say, oh, I am miserable, / what shall — / what should I do? And the sea says / in its lovely voice: / Excuse me, I have work to do.”

Quote by Alfred North Whitehead: “Civilization advances by extending the number o...”“When I see them here, in their rooms, in their offices, about their occupations, I feel an irresistible attraction in it, I would like to be here too and forget the war; but also it repels me, it is so narrow, how can that fill a man’s life, he ought to smash it to bits; how can they do it, while out at the front the splinters are whining over the shell-holes and the star-shells go up, the wounded are carried back on waterproof sheets and comrades crouch in the trenches. — They are different men here, men I cannot properly understand, whom I envy and despise.”
Quote by Erich Maria Remarque: “When I see them here, in their rooms, in their ...”If you only ever pick from offers you get, you never try anything unless someone out there already knew you and liked you enough that they took the trouble of coming to you. If you ask for stuff, you get to pick from among the entire universe of potential options theoretically available to you — and who knows, it might work out.
The stable marriage problem - by Ajeya Cotra - Good BonesThe problem rewards agency and punishes passivity, to an astonishingly strong degree.
The stable marriage problem - by Ajeya Cotra - Good BonesFor tragedies too widely experienced in modern times to be censored — the Cultural Revolution, the one-child policy, Zero Covid — the party discourages reflection in the name of protecting the state’s sensitivity.
2025 letter | Dan WangThey feel the draw of better times ahead, which is missing for Europeans, those people who have a sense of optimism only about the past.
2025 letter | Dan WangAs of this writing, Xiaomi’s market value is $130 billion. That is only around half of the market value of AppLovin, the mobile advertisement company. Rather than being an indictment of Xiaomi, I view this imbalance as an indictment of financial valuations. Isn’t it better, from a national power perspective, to develop firms like Xiaomi, which calls its shots and then makes them?
2025 letter | Dan WangSince the US is much more services-driven, Americans may be using AI to produce more powerpoints and lawsuits; China, by virtue of being the global manufacturer, has the option to scale up production of more electronics, more drones, and more munitions.

2025 letter | Dan WangVronsky was aware of those eyes fastened upon him from all sides, but he saw nothing except the ears and neck of his own mare, the ground racing to meet him, and the back and white legs of Gladiator beating time swiftly before him, and keeping always the same distance ahead. Gladiator rose, with no sound of knocking against anything. With a wave of his short tail he disappeared from Vronsky's sight.

About“Because,” said he, “They come weeping and go weeping—you only come laughing and go laughing.”
The Grave-Digger | The Poetry FoundationBy appealing to everyone with these clean lines, gradients, and rounded shapes, no one feels particularly compelled by them. And while these brands serve their purpose in attracting the “right” demographic to their software, they also make it difficult to form a meaningful connection with the user — the product feels like a stylistic blank slate.
Why We Crave Software With Style Over "Branding" | FutureIn tandem with the proliferation of software in the 2010s, we saw the rise of an aesthetic style that has come to be known as skeuomorphism. Prominent tech companies like Microsoft and Apple leaned into a visual style that emphasized relatable realism and a shiny veneer, as seen through Windows Vista and iOS 6. These aesthetics were both compelling and immediately understandable to newcomers because they referenced, allegorically, icons (like garbage cans and file folders) that people already understood.
Why We Crave Software With Style Over "Branding" | FutureModern software’s humdrum lack of identity has resulted in users craving more interesting, opinionated tools, tools that feel like us — or a better, more interesting, wackier version of us.
