Adrift From The Path

Conformity is a natural instinct for mankind. We are born into a family, community, and culture, and we naturally feel an affinity for those who are like us, who look like us, and who understand us. As time goes by and we have to walk our own path, we tend to huddle with those who […]

It’s Not Working

I was listening to the “Infinite Loops” podcast by one of my favorite people on Twitter ever, Jim O’Shaughnessy, on the episode he had with David Perell. Jim was just telling us about how he had a bad experience with a school teacher who got angry at him for reading an entire book without being […]
