planning is overrated
just take the shortest term action that is in the general direction of your goal

Nietzsche, insanın sabit bir kimliği (özü) olduğu fikrini reddeder. Ona göre insan, duruma, güce ve hayatta kalma stratejilerine göre sürekli maskeler takınan bir aktördür. Lacan’ın "Ego bir yanılsamadır" tespiti, Nietzsche’nin "Öz yoktur, sadece maskeler vardır" teziyle aynı şeydir. Derin bir ruh, kendini korumak için maskelere ihtiyaç duyar; çünkü çıplak gezen bir özne, Simgesel Düzen'in (toplumun) gazabına uğrar.

Our brains are rotting from our lack of challenges, and our will is wilting from too much ease and convenience.

When our emotions are engaged, we often have trouble seeing things as they are.

People around you, constantly under the pull of their emotions, change their ideas by the day or by the hour, depending on their mood. You must never assume that what people say or do in a particular moment is a statement of their permanent desires.

No one is really going to help you or give you direction. In fact, the odds are against you.

Being an adult is simply saying, “After this week, things will slow down!” Over and over until you die.

My autistic brain does not care for concepts of authority.
The idea that someone is right, just because of their status, and not the substance of their argument, is illogical.
