With the media, we don't know what's true, and we don't have radical transparency because we're seeing everything through somebody else's eyes.

People with good work habits have to-do lists that are reasonably prioritized, and they make themselves do what needs to be done. By contrast, people with poor work habits almost randomly react to the stuff that comes at them, or they can't bring themselves to do the things they need to do but don't like to do (or are unable to do).

It all comes down to interest rates. As an investor, all you're doing is putting up a lump-sump payment for a future cash flow.

I'm scared of people with power making the decision.
Ray Dalio
Image
When growth is slower than expected, stocks go down. When inflation is higher than expected, bonds go down. When inflation's lower than expected, bonds go up.

There is giant untapped potential in disagreement, especially if the disagreement is between two or more thoughtful people

Each person assesses each other person's credibility on different dimensions, because people are strong and weak in different things.

Nature is a machine. The family is a machine. The life cycle is like a machine.

Look at what caused people to make a lot of money and you will see that usually it is in proportion to their production of what the society wanted.

The more you think you know, the more closed-minded you'll be.

The pain of problems is a call to find solutions rather than a reason for unhappiness and inaction, so it's silly, pointless, and harmful to be upset at the problems and choices that come at you (though it’s understandable).
