I read about an Eskimo hunter who asked the local missionary priest, "If I did not know about God and sin, would I go to hell? "No," said the priest, "not if you did not know." "Then why," asked the Eskimo earnestly, "did you tell me?"

I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.
-- Umberto Eco
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more. It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
-- William Shakespeare (Macbeth)
Optimism is a strategy for making a better future. Because unless you believe that the future can be better, it's unlikely you will step up and take responsibility for making it so. If you assume that there's no hope, you guarantee that there will be no hope. If you assume that there is an instinct for freedom, there are opportunities to change things, there's a chance you may contribute to making a better world. The choice is yours.

Do not try to be more productive
than a machine.
Be more unpredictable than one.
Slow down. Sleep in. Be late. Dream sideways.
Every moment you refuse to hustle for the algorithm,
you reclaim your right to be a human being- not a human doing.
Your value is not in output.
It's in awe.
It's in the fact that you still look at the sky and say: "Wow."
We do not need to compete with Al.
We need to reclaim the terrain of the soul.
Let the machines optimize. Let them calculate, simulate, replicate.
We will imagine, wander, err, contradict, and wonder.
Our power is not in precision.
It's in presence.
Not in speed, but in stillness.
Not in perfection, but in the poetic glitch of being alive.
- Dr.Kamal Sabran
The process of innovation is a process of failure.
-- Peter Senge
He who works with his hands is a laborer. He who works with his hands and his head is a craftsman. He who works with his hands and his head and his heart is an artist.”
-- Francis of Assisi
The hard part isn't solving problems, but deciding what problems to solve.
-- Paul Graham
The benefit of controlling a modern state is less the power to persecute the innocent, more the power to protect the guilty.
-- David Frum (The Atlantic (Mar 2017))
