F
Fame is an illusion. Not everyone will adore you; there will always be many people who don’t know you (especially today, when fame has become highly fragmented and polarized). Or there will always be people who hate you despite everything you’ve done. Don’t think about others. Just do something useful for humanity, something that you…

Self
Excessive self-admiration has never been a sign of intelligence or nobility – the greatest people – they have always been balanced well. You hold self-respect but no noise, without needing to assert it over others

Who wins
It is not the sophisticated intellectual who wins people, but more often those who are more lucky, those who managed to convince folks in a simple way The one who is more cunning and assertive, who is bolder, wins. Sophisticated mind is not a first thing to work with normal people. It’s great if he’s smart…

Wars
Wars rarely end with an absolute winner. All sides usually lose far more than they gain. Post industrial “homo sapiens” were not supposed for that, it’s a big step backwards, only weak places of complicated social mistakes lead there, usually it’s just about poor managed authority. Resort to physical fight only as a last measure…

Cultural code of gigantic nations

But never fully…

Fool-proof protection in economy?
Democracy is a protection from too much power taken by a fool. Politically… But what is our moron-protection economically, socially? What defense is there against evil oversized corporations and their dumb managers? After all, random still rules the human staircase, and not the best people come to huge money and resources economically, but most often…

Dead End
“Do everything for money profit” is a flawed idea. Good products die from it. The capitalist system as we know it today is a failure and a dead end.

Average consumerism
Here’s a quick thought experiment – I’m going to come to him with my [most famous burgers franchise] burger (assuming he doesn’t familiar with [most famous world burgers franchise]) and he’s obviously more likely to say like it’s bad food. And don’t forget that we’re not talking about smart sophisticated and honest people, but about…
