Kindle Notes & Highlights
This story is about a lot of things, but mostly about idiots. So it needs saying from the outset that it’s always very easy to declare that other people are idiots, but only if you forget how idiotically difficult being human is.
At the end of your career you’re trying to find a point to it all, and at the start of it you’re looking for a purpose.
The problem is that everything is relative, happiness is based on expectations, and we have the Internet now. A whole world constantly asking us: “But is your life as perfect as this? Well? How about now? Is it as perfect as this? If it isn’t, change it!�
If you’re constantly presented with alternatives, you can never make up your mind,
It’s harder than you might think to take people hostage when they’re idiots.
