1. Family is the most important “thing” in the world. 2. Things are not important at all. People are. Relationships are. Intentions and actions are. 3. Money matters. If you’re a professional - the smartest thing to do is optimize your career for the income, while doing what you can and love doing best. Everything else (titles, satisfaction, feeling of importance, carbon footprint reduction or whatever is that you think important) follows the money eventually. 4. Decent people are usually excellent colleagues, good bosses, great employees. But not vice versa. 5. There are no simple answers to complex questions. But there are more and less correct answers. Not everything is just a matter of opinion (i.e. relativism doesn’t work). 6. Popular people are almost never best experts in their fields. Because they are busy being popular while true experts are busy being experts. For example Jordan Peterson is far from being the best clinical psychologist. Or Richard Dawkins who is amazingly incompetent about religions. Same goes for most “youtube programmers” etc. Therefore real wisdom is never in podcasts, but rather in unpopular or time proven books. 7. Crowd is always dumber than individual people in it.
