[After the dot-com crash], the lesson people learned from that was not, “I should never speculate on overvalued financial assets.” The lesson they learned was, “I should never speculate on internet stocks.” And so the same people who lost 90% or more of their money day-trading internet stocks ended up flipping homes in the mid 2000s, and getting wiped out doing that. It’s dangerous to learn narrow lessons.
1. Don’t save up the good stuff (fancy wine, or china) for that rare occasion that will never happen; instead use them whenever you can.
2. Interview your parents while they are still alive. Keep asking questions while you record. You’ll learn amazing things. Or hire someone to make their story into an oral history, or documentary, or book. This will be a tremendous gift to them and to your family.
3. When shopping for anything physical (souvenirs, furniture, books, tools, shoes, equipment), ask yourself: where will this go? Don’t buy it unless there is a place it can live. Something may need to leave in order for something else to come in.
"But ultimately we are a workplace and our policies and expectations are clear: this is a business, and not a place to act in a way that disrupts coworkers or makes them feel unsafe, to attempt to use the company as a personal platform, or to fight over disruptive issues or debate politics. This is too important a moment as a company for us to be distracted."
I agree with the sentiment but "makes them feel unsafe" is too low of a bar in a world filled with neurosis. An incorrect opinion seems to be a common trigger, and those are a necessary part of growth and exploration.
"These atoms combine into molecules and cells, including the 30 trillion human cells that make up your body. Every second, you create 25 million of them—replicas produced by the templates of your specific DNA. But those are not the only cells that make up your body. Your microbiome alone has 39 trillion cells of bacteria, viruses, and fungi that live on and within you. You may be classified as a single species, but you are “host” to as many as 1,000. And while your cells hold 20-25,000 genes, your microbiome contains 500 times more. So what are “you” really?"
