“ Someone who does you an injury hurts you twice: first by the injury itself, and second by taking up your time afterward thinking about it. If you learn to ignore injuries you can at least avoid the second half. I've found I can to some extent avoid thinking about nasty things people have done to me by telling myself: this doesn't deserve space in my head. ”— Paul Graham: The Top Idea in Your Mind

“ Be careful what you let become critical to you. ... Take a shower. What topic do your thoughts keep returning to? If it's not what you want to be thinking about, you may want to change something. ”— Paul Graham: The Top Idea in Your Mind

“ I'm not a capitalist, I am a creativist. I want to make money so that I can create things. Suddenly all these people have come along who want to create things so they can make money. ”— Eddie Izzard via Are you a capitalist or a creativist?

“ Technologically we now have [six billion billionaires] on Spaceship Earth who are entirely unaware of their good fortune. Unbeknownst to [us our] legacy is being held in probate by general ignorance, fear, selfishness, and a myriad of paralyzing professional, licensing, zoning, building laws and the like, as bureaucratically maintained by the incumbent power structures. ”— Buckminster Fuller: Critical Path

“ Tätigkeiten, die mir liegen, sind keine Arbeit. Ich habe kein gutes Wort dafür, es ist einfach das, was ich tue. Ich rolle stets mit den Augen, wenn mir z.B. Leute unterstellen, ich würde noch “arbeiten”, nur weil ich nachts in einer Bar sitze und an langen Texten, Source Code oder was auch immer tippe. “Nein”, sage ich dann immer, “ich mach doch nur…” und verstumme dann meist, weil es ja eh keiner verstehen würde. ”— Tim Pritlove, Das bedingungslose Grundeinkommen

“ You can have a fruitful discussion about a topic only if it doesn't engage the identities of any of the participants. ...— Paul Graham: Keep Your Identity Small
The best plan is to let as few things into your identity as possible. ... The more labels you have for yourself, the dumber they make you. ”

“ What matters is not the perception, nor the fashion, not who's up and who's down, but what someone has done and if they meant it. What matters is that you want to see and make and do, on as grand a scale as you want, regardless of what the tiny voices of tiny people say.— Dave Eggers
Do not be critics, you people, I beg you. I was a critic and I wish I could take it all back because it came from a smelly and ignorant place in me, and spoke with a voice that was all rage and envy. ... It is a fuckload of work to be open-minded and generous and understanding and forgiving and accepting, but Christ, that is what matters. What matters is saying yes. ”

“ The more time I spend working I find it harder to criticize other peoples work. No critic, no matter how brilliant, can ever measure up to her worst subject, because the world should belong to those who try, even when they fail. ”— Quel Solaar

“ ...people bore me not because they don’t share my interests but because they’re barely interested at all.— elzr
I’m so hungry for passion, for intense and unreasonable interests, for people with dreams, for people to wonder and marvel with, you know?
Any dimwit can be bitter, it’s the easiest thing to do, human nature ... marveling, being hopeful, is the exception, it’s what takes effort and imagination and daring. ”

“ [Since the atoms of our brains are constantly being replaced,] what we are is patterns. We have a built-in desire to extend the patterns for as long as possible, but at the same time we don't want to preserve the patterns in a fixed state, or we would never learn or grow.— jcl @ Hacker News re: purpose of life
Simultaneously, we are part of larger patterns which — like the atoms in our brains — we enter into, subtly alter, then leave. [O]ur influence on the larger patterns is the most enduring thing we can have. ”

“ I’d rather be me, right now, right here, than any other human —emperor, king, sultan, noble, philosopher, artist, scientist, genius,...— from any time before, any place. We have been humans for some 15 thousands years and there’s no time past I’d rather be at.— elzr: I'd rather
I don’t mean this as some outburst of excitement, it’s just a calm realization that dawned on me a while ago, out of the blue—a surprising measure of the reality of progress, the splendor of the present, the promise of the future. ”

“ What is true is already so.— Eugene Gendlin via Overcoming Bias
Owning up to it doesn't make it worse.
Not being open about it doesn't make it go away.
And because it's true, it is what is there to be interacted with.
Anything untrue isn't there to be lived.
People can stand what is true,
for they are already enduring it. ”

“ When you’re young, you look at television and think, ‘There’s a conspiracy. The networks have conspired to dumb us down.’ But when you get a little older, you realize that’s not true. The networks are in business to give people exactly what they want. That’s a far more depressing thought. Conspiracy is optimistic! You can shoot the bastards! We can have a revolution! But the networks are really in business to give people what they want. It’s the truth.— Steve Jobs in 1996 (via marco)bestposts”

This kind of heartfelt, contagious enthusiasm in science educators is so incredibly inspirational. He's like a modern Carl Sagan, or a non-confrontational Richard Dawkins.

“ "It is not enough for me to succeed — others must also fail."— The World's Most Toxic Value System
This attitude is related to a concept called "absolute scarcity" in the social science literature — the notion that all human needs are in finite supply and there is not enough to go around. Obviously such an attitude will lead to resentment of success by others. ”
