From Technologist to Philosopher →
In other words: I became a humanist.
And having a more humanistic sensibility has made me a much better technologist than I was before. I no longer see the world through the eyes of a machine—through the filter of what we are capable of reducing to its logical foundations. I am more aware of how the products we build shape the culture we are in. I am more attuned to the ethical implications of our decisions. And I no longer assume that machines can solve all of our problems for us. The task of thinking is still ours.

JUST WORK HARD : IT’S NOT HARD WORK →
All the millenials want (and see) is point Z. They don’t want to sit through and listen to B or C, or work Saturday nights on J or K, or wake up early on Sunday for P and Q. They just want Z. And when they can’t endure the pains, struggle, and valuable life lessons that a few years of Ds and Es take, they’re onto the next one. Unfortunately, they’re missing the point. It’s not about Z, it’s never been (C’mon Z’s a crappy letter anyways, all it’s good for is Zebra and Pizza). A truly invaluable life is comprised of the journey: achieving and appreciating the entire alphabet. The hard work is the trophy.

The Tyranny of the Extroverts →
A friend of mine was at my house the other day when one of my cats jumped in his lap. “I love cats,” he said, “I just wish they would come when you call them.” I said, “They have those. They’re called dogs.”

Why Chinese Mothers are Not Superior →
When I have children of my own, I hope I will be able to stress the importance of education while they are young, but allow them the freedom to make decisions and mistakes for themselves.

Drop out. Or don't. - A really bad idea →
TLDR: College doesn’t do anything to prepare you for entrepreneurship but is a great place to hang out and meet people.

Yes, rich kids already won the career game. Here’s why. →
Rather, this is a subconscious and irresistible force, and it comes from one root cause: rich kids don’t fear the boss.
-
Someone is stealing your life →
It seems an odd way to structure a free society: Most people have little or no authority over what they do five days a week for 45 years. Doesn’t sound much like “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” Sounds like a nation of drones.
