I'm not afraid to take an idea to the extreme.

To love truth for truth's sake is the principal part of human perfection in this world, and the seed-plot of all other virtues.

There's a real correlation between a society that tells people that they can do anything, and the existence of low self-esteem. So that's another way in which something quite positive can have a nasty kickback. There is another reason why we might be feeling more anxious --about our careers, about our status in the world today, than ever before. And it's, again, linked to something nice. And that nice thing is called meritocracy.

我们并不缺乏交流，相反，我们有太多的交流。我们缺乏的是创造。
