"Nothing seems more conformist or more servile to me these days than the hackneyed mythology of 'revolt'." —René Girard
If you really want to find the flaws in your arguments, imagine they were made by the person you hate most.
Today is the birthday of the legendary philosopher-emperor Marcus Aurelius, one of history’s wisest and most quotable figures. So, in honor of the great man, here are 10 of his most powerful quotes (annotated by me):
Marcus Aurelius advises Twitter users
“so many young men have lost themselves…The false signals they’re getting from video game progress, combined with the sexual reward of online porn, are convincing their dopamine pathways they’re winning in life, even as their minds and futures atrophy” gurwinder.blog/p/why-everythi…
If anyone is interested in a deep-dive into the cultural, spiritual, and political ramifications of TikTok, this article by @G_S_Bhogal is amazing. It's not the same as other apps. gurwinder.blog/p/tiktok-may-b…
Here are some of the most important things I’ve realised about problems and stress: 1. Problems are a feature of life, not a bug. There will never come a time when you have no problems. What, did you think that one day you’re just going to wake up and cease having problems?…
This is a fascinating essay on two thinkers (Chinese and British) whose goal was to help Western capitalism to destroy itself, and how the CCP may now see TikTok as a way to do that. gurwinder.substack.com/p/tiktok-may-b…
Pleased to share my debut post as a regular monthly contributor to the @BostonGlobe: Why are women becoming so much more liberal than men? Some thoughts on politics and the gender-equality paradox. Currently the #1 most read opinion piece: bostonglobe.com/2024/04/25/opi…
If "social justice activism" was about helping those in need, the activists would take the time to fully understand the issues they protest about. Instead, the main purpose of "social justice activism" is to make the activists feel good about themselves. It’s moral masturbation.
New paper from Norway: Banning smartphones in school - significantly decreased doctors visits for psychological symptoms and diseases among girls - reduced bullying among both genders - improved girls’ GPA and attendance rates - largest effect sizes were among the poorest kids
Samuel L Jackson got his first major movie role aged 40. Tolkien started the Lord of the Rings at 45, and finished it at 63. Darwin published Origin of the Species at 50. Harland Sanders founded KFC at 62. "Grandma" Moses began painting at 78. You’re never too old to start.
“God, nation, family, and work — are weakening, and people are losing their value systems. . . games, with their well-defined rules and goals, provide a semblance of order and purpose.” Why Everything is Becoming a Game, by @G_S_Bhogal gurwinder.blog/p/why-everythi…
"Read the room" is not advice for being right. It's advice for being popular. So when people give it, they're also implicitly telling us which they think is more important.
The biggest problem with the Democratic party is that it gets its information about the wants and needs of demographic groups (young people, Black people, women, etc.) by talking to activist groups who claim to represent those "communities", but which don't really represent them.

“If words are just as violent as bullets, then bullets are only as violent as words.” — Jonathan Rauch
Fun question: How many thoughts do you remember from yesterday? Most people struggle to recall any clear unique thought. Data suggests humans have 10,000-20,000 thoughts per day. The forgetting paradox: You forget how many things you forget... because you've forgotten them.…

@G_S_Bhogal My old editor had the same strategy. Before interviewing an individual, he would first talk to the person's most inveterate enemies. Armed with unflattering a wealth of unflattering information, he immediately put the interviewee on the defensive and made him nicely cooperative.
@G_S_Bhogal Solid strategy! Sort of correlates with bypassing Solomon's Paradox by asking yourself how you would advise someone close to you in your same situation.
@G_S_Bhogal Not a bad way to thaw some ice either. Suddenly that guy you hate seems kind of smart. Haha.

@G_S_Bhogal Brilliant ! much appreciated Gurwinder. One of the many philosophers whose work is still as impactful today as it was then.

9. “You always have the option of having no opinion. There is never any need to get worked up or to trouble your soul about things you can't control. These things are not asking to be judged by you. Leave them alone.” I have no opinion about this.
