Sci-Fi idea: an evil billionaire is privatizing space travel, city infrastructure, and even basic necessities. He is attempting to create his own colonies where he owns and controls everything. But everyone loves him because he posts memes on online.[/b]

Picasso had a saying - ‘good artists copy, great artists steal’ - and we have always been shameless about stealing great ideas.
Feel free to steal mine, okay?
Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

On the day he unveiled the Macintosh, a reporter from Popular Science asked Jobs what type of market research he had done. Jobs responded by scoffing, “Did Alexander Graham Bell do any market research before he invented the telephone?”

What can humans do that animals can’t?
Aristotle: use reason
Nietzsche: make promises
Kierkegaard: be in despair
Marx: I don’t know but no dog ever became fantastically rich by making thousands of other dogs work for it.[/b]
Marx, right?
What philosophers hate:
Socrates: sophistry
Descartes: uncertainty
Russell: lack of clarity
Adorno: the dang kids these days are dancing to jazz instead of listening to Beethoven god dammit
Dancing to jazz?!!
A philosopher is never late, nor is he early. Because time is an illusion.
Wow, just like morality!
American politics becomes a lot clearer if you mentally replace the word “freedom” with “property” every time a politician uses it.
And, no, not just on Wall Street.
When people think of a “nihilist” they think of an edgy teen sad that life is meaningless, but they should think of a suburban winemom who yells at a server for ten minutes for messing up her sandwich, then calls up an old friend to try to get them into their pyramid scheme.

Once, there was a girl who vowed she would save everyone in the world, but forgot herself.[/b]
I know her!
Instead of being afraid, I could become something to fear.
There you go!
Baby, she says in a harsh whisper,"in this world, lots of people will try to grind you down. They need you to be small so they can be big. You let them think whatever they want, but you make sure you get yours. You get yours.
There you go!
If she was going to die, she might as well die sarcastic.
There you go!
Death’s favorites don’t die.
Okay, name just one.
No, I won’t help you. No, I won’t hear you explain why I should. It really is a magical word: no. You say whatever bullshit you want and I just say no.
Man who invented the hamburger was smart; man who invented the cheeseburger was a genius.[/b]
Next up: man who invented the secret sauce.

Well, not counting the thousands and thousands and thousands of children that starve to death each and every year. Them perhaps.
Life is a series of commas, not periods.
He means semi-colons of course.
The older you get, the more rules they’re gonna try to get you to follow. You just gotta keep livin’ man, l-i-v-i-n’
On the other hand, it does help to be him.
There’s a difference in thinking you are a champion and knowing that you are.
Unless of course for countless thousands there isn’t.
I think it’s because we’re looking for the meaning. Where is the meaning? We have mindless jobs, we take frantic vacations, deficit finance trips to the mall to buy more things that we think are going to fill these holes in our lives. Is it any wonder that we’ve lost our sense of direction?
you are not worth my time you goon. if you at least wrote something decipherable and quasi-coherent like SATIRE, I could show everybody how stupid and full of shit you are but we both know you dont have the courage to speak clearly. are you also into children you creep???
