As the world turns
Sometimes the only thing keeping me going is forgetting that I'm already in motion.
Comforting Fixation
Anything can become comforting during a period of fixation. That's why you should test everything you love by leaving it for a little while and coming back just to make sure it isn't just comfort and also so there is still excitement in the relationship and you don't become overly habituated.
Kid ego's
If kids weren't so egotistical they would be much harder to handle. Feeling that someone is watching you is almost entirely inconsistent with reality. This is why it feels like parents have eyes in the back of their head. This feeling than carries over to when they aren't actually being watched.
Problem kids come about when they have inattentive parents and they feel the can escape the eye.
Our generation
I feel like the only true artists in our generation are all scientists you just don't see them because they stand out in a direction that provides a more concrete value to society.
Notable exceptions: Kanye West, Lady Gaga
Blue chips
I see tech jobs as the most efficient step towards automation of society. The closer we can get to fewer jobs needed dedicated to survival of species and more toward entertainment will hopefully eventually turn us into an artisanal society where the only value is placed in art(the world's definition of art will approach mine) because everything else is provided.
Easier to find
Is it easier to be famous than to impress your friends? to be famous all you have to do is be extreme for one moment For your friends you have to maintain incredibility for much longer.
Selfish Fashion
The key to fashion is to be selfish about it, it's not what you are wearing but that YOU are the one wearing it.
The clothes are static what can be different is the whole picture, you define the whole picture.
If you don't treat fashion this way you in my opinion you are just playing dress up.
What internet?
I think its funny when people try to give illustrative example of why the internet is so great. The internet is so versatile that any concrete example invariably falls short and makes the speaker sound like they actually have limited knowledge of the subject.
"You can play solitaire on it!"
Fighting for Conflict
The idea of being a character in a story is the implied adventure. Every story has conflict thrust upon it. In real life you have to fight for conflict.
