This is inarguably true. Email has made communication worse and decision-making inordinately slower and more bureaucratic. Yet nobody ever talks about it. yourleadgeneration.co.uk/202…

How to Talk About Books You Haven't Read, Profound and witty discussion of this topic @Gerald_Ashley @sebs_tweets talks about retention, speed of reading, and how we often have discussions about things that are in the Zeitgeist, that we are informed about but have not read, I can rarely recommend a book more highly. All kinds of books, I find some have a lot of filler and unimporant things, as well skimming will often lead to a more detailed rereading, I sample and abandon more books than I read, I read a lot of them fast and a few I spend more time on.

That’s season 6 of Clarkson’s Farm sorted then…

Thinkers find it difficult to tolerate fools. If they don't learn how to embed themselves into society they will spiral. But this difficulty comes from extending one's public behavior directly from their deep thinking identity. When you expect a reciprocal interest in intellect you are going to be perpetually frustrated. One must temporarily rise above the reasoning identity for the sake of implementing the currency of conversation. The thinker who cannot tolerate fools has forgotten where information comes from. Discovery requires contact with reality, and reality arrives mixed with confusion, error, and misunderstanding. Wisdom is not avoiding the noise; it is learning to be who you need to be to extract the signal. You can always come back down and be smart when and as needed.

I am in West Beirut and the humming of the drone is maddening.

Was in the Walmart yesterday getting Mrs car oil changed. In a hard shoe atm because of antics, overly extroverted older farmer fellow inmate in the waiting room inquired, just nodded knowingly. Getting older is realizing there is always a new way to set your self on fire.

What's behind this yellow dip? Any ideas?

Samuel Pepys describes the 17th Century equivalent of smartphone addiction. (Incidentally the watch cost £14).

No human on this planet represents 19th C. statist verbalism more than Kissinger "Stability is a precondition to creativity". Now explain #Antifragility: “In Italy for 30 y under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder, & bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, & the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had 500 y of democracy and peace, & what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.”[Well's addition to Greene's The Third Man]

Russel Crowe and Sheryl Crow walk into a bar. The barman picks up the phone and dials 911. "Hello, I'd like to report an attempted murder". #BadJokeFriday

There is a historical constant: no amount of wealth can liberate a third-rate thinker from intellectual envy or from the deeply degrading sense of scholarly inferiority -- that feeling of impoverished erudition. No amount of wealth.

If you got to pick only one, go for the personal library over the man cave, but if you can have both, go for both.
