Should we hold our loved ones to an ideal we ourselves cannot reach? We ask too much.

You know how you trim the fat off a ribeye steak after it's cooked perfectly and leave it on the plate to be discarded? Save that fat! Put it in a skillet and cook it down to salty crunchy brown perfection that you can serve over rice later. C'est incroyable !
Should be illegal.

Don't cast venom at people you don't know, even if they're celebrities.
Disagree with them. Don't vote for them. Ignore them. But don't hate them. They don't know about your hatred, which is a blessing in itself.

I propose a new term:
“Conceptual rehypothecation.”
Alice knows a thing in her own experience. Bob hears Alice’s explanation and conveys it, rehypothecated, to Carol. Carol relates her best understanding of the third-hand phenomenon to Dick. Dick writes a book.

Each of us can be plotted on a continuum between Alice and Dick. Ask yourself where you fall on this spectrum. Ask yourself where others fall on this spectrum. Ask yourself where you should invest your credulity. Ask yourself how confidently you should assert your own views.

Have you ever thought about what it might feel like to be on the other end of you? Do you complain every day? Imagine what it might feel like to listen to constant complaints. Do you criticize those around you? Imagine what it might feel like to be constantly criticized. Wake up.

I don't discount anyone's ability to learn. But if you want my help, you gotta wanna learn.
If you're already good and all you wanna do is get shit for nothin', move along.
