I heard a phrase recently: “Magazine architect.”

It’s a derisive term architects use for their colleagues who design buildings that look beautiful, grace magazine covers, and win awards, but lack functionality for the tenants.

Job’s insight, and the most important factor in Apple’s success, was realizing that technology isn...

A simple formula for a pretty nice life is independence plus purpose.

Purpose is different for everyone. Sometimes it’s family, sometimes it’s community, religion, work, whatever.

But independence is more universal. Our desire to be independent, why we want it, what prevents us from achieving it, and why some people sabotage their ability to have it, is such a common story across cultures and generations.

Everyone knows one version of the world -- the one that's actually happened. But that's just one of infinitive possibilities that could have occurred. I asked ChatGPT to write different versions of how my life could have ended up, and was stunned by the results. I'd be you'd have the same experience.

Most people – and definitely society as a whole – seem to have a minimum level of stress. They will never be fully at ease because after solving every problem the gaze of their anxiety shifts to the next problem, no matter how trivial it is relative to previous ones.
