Reflection

The Meaning-Making Animal

The pursuit of meaning is the distinguishing feature of our species. How do we harness it to bring out the best of ourselves?

Our relationship with time defines this strange emotion.

If you can’t eradicate it, opt out of it while you can.

If you view knowledge for its utility, you will never fully appreciate it.

Dependency is not love, yet we often confuse one for the other.

Shield yourself against the winds of external response.

Decouple an interest from its practical value. That’s how agency is born.

A 2-step framework you can use to unearth ideas worth writing about.

The best game to play is the one that requires no scoreboard in the first place.

If you can master the art of the start, then any creative endeavor is possible.
