"Every action you take is a vote about how you want your whole life to be" is such a powerful frame. Can apply it to everything from substance abuse to participating in Internet gender discourse with anonymous mentally ill 20-year-olds

Condescension is often the tone of the ignorant attempting to educate those they disdain but do not understand, and so the exercise is more often one of self-aggrandisement and tribal signalling, than it is of genuine mentorship. When someone purports to be teaching or otherwise bestowing some level of wisdom upon you, all you need ask yourself is “does this person really understand me?” Can you, being humble and radically honest with yourself, see yourself in what they say? And if you cannot, because they have not demonstrated that they do, then it is safe to assume they are not speaking from empathy, but self-righteous elitism.

You can often tell entirely by the tone of the first few sentences of a Wikipedia article if the article is going to be information or propaganda. When the editors have a chip on their shoulder they are not subtle about it.

It should not be an economic goal for house prices to keep going up. Housing prices should be kept low as a consumption good, not an investment.

My wife use to work on a loan securitization team for a large hedge fund. The amount of leverage in the economy is beyond your wildest imagination. Debt on debt, on debt, on debt...

The new Mac OS suggests filenames for new text documents as I type in the default text editor, putting them in the header bar before I even attempt to save. This feels weirdly invasive.

Apparently this is a Finder setting not a system or text editor setting but there is a setting where you can turn it off

Do late-teens still sell themselves (and somebody else) out for the imaginary status of having "in a relationship with" as their FB status or was that purely a millennial dysfunction when FB was new
