Good taste used to mean knowing where to pay attention.

Now everything's attention, and good taste means knowing what to ignore.

There's a whole generation that learned irony before sincerity and now they're trapped. Can't be earnest without a layer of self-deprecation. Can't be enthusiastic without signaling awareness of how cringe enthusiasm is.

The price of never being vulnerable is never connecting.

одна из самых тупых вещей, которую мне вбили в голову в детстве - это «не позорься» в смысле «не умеешь - не берись»

People who say "money can't buy happiness" rarely give their money away. People who say "technology is ruining society" rarely delete their apps. We are what we do, not what we say.

Everyone thinks they're the reasonable moderate and everyone else went insane. Statistically improbable. More likely: we all went a little insane together.

I am declaring discourse bankruptcy.

I no longer want to know what’s trending. I don’t want to know who said what absolute nonsense. I have no opinion on the viral fuckery of the day.

Education’s Future: What Will Replace K-12 and College?
Our expensive, time-wasting, anxiety-producing system of education is an immense failure. In a rational world, what would replace it? Here is my answer to that question.
