The more often a stupidity is repeated, the more it gets the appearance of wisdom.

Sometimes, there's a man, well, he's the man for his time and place. He fits right in there.

They call Los Angeles the "City Of Angels." I didn't find it to be that, exactly. But I'll allow there are some nice folks there.

Since the value of freedom rests on the opportunities it provides for unforeseen and unpredictable actions, we will rarely know what we lose through a particular restriction of freedom.

In life the challenge is not so much to figure out how best to play the game; the challenge is to figure out what game you’re playing.

“Reproduction, like computation, could be carried out by machines following coded instructions. . . . It’s not a metaphor to call DNA a ‘program’ — that is literally the case.” #wkdrdg
“Biological computing is computing, nonetheless. And its use of randomness is a feature, not a bug. . . . Computation doesn’t require a central processor, logic gates, binary arithmetic, or sequential programs. There are infinite ways to compute, and, crucially, they are all equivalent. This insight is one of the greatest accomplishments of theoretical computer science. This ‘platform independence’ or ‘multiple realizability’ means that any computer can emulate any other one.” #wkdrdg https://thereader.mitpress.mit.edu/is-life-a-form-of-computation/

"The culture ministry said Sunday that security measures would be 'improved with new-generation cameras deployed'."
A headline from France 24 that reads, "Louvre heist raises decades old questions about museum security." The sub-headline continues, "The heist at the Louvre on Sunday morning, which saw thieves flee with eight royal jewels, has raised questions about how well France's priceless historical artefacts and cultural heritage are being protected." https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20251019-paris-louvre-heist-lays-bare-museum-security-complaints

If someone put a gun to your head and compelled you to choose whether you care less about Taylor Swift + Travis Kelce or Katy Perry + Justin Trudeau, would you take a walk or a nap?

You are under no obligation to remain the same person you were a year ago, a month ago, or even a day ago. You are here to create yourself, continuously.

A 1987 ink illustration by Bulgarian artist Milen Radev. In the cartoon, a man operates a wireless remote control to command a towering robot while the robot's mechanical hands manipulate puppet strings attached directly to the man.

Your job, throughout your entire life, is to disappoint as many people as it takes to avoid disappointing yourself.
