Jan 7 2011: A meaningful life is not just keeping occupied but doing the most important thing you can at any particular moment. 1670
Jan 7 2011: Sometimes the most important thing you can do is your laundry. Even superheros have to wash their supersuits! 1671

Jan 8 2011: It is illegal and immoral to discriminate by race, gender, age or ethnicity. Stupidity, however, is open game! 1678
Jan 8 2011: I can totally identify with Smeagol and his "My Precious" obsession. When you lose your iPhone you get like that. 1679
Jan 8 2011: Irony is the basis of all great art. 1680
Jan 8 2011: Just because you have a Twitter account, Facebook, YouTube, blog, podcast... doesn't mean you have anything to say. 1681
Jan 8 2011: Social media may be faster, but the main problem is the same as it was with the printing press: how to produce meaningful content. 1682

Jan 8 2011: People are suckers for correlation, seeking the superficial symbols of health, happiness and achievement instead the causative actions. 1694
Jan 8 2011: Two dozen long-stemmed roses, Lady Godiva chocolates, diamond earrings, a pearl necklace... If that's not love, what is? 1695
Jan 8 2011: Talking about Twitter: $0.02. Talking about Facebook: $0.02. Talking about Apple, Google: $0.02. Producing meaningful content: Priceless. 1696

Jan 8 2011: Life is full of "Duh!" moments when you realize the solution was right in front of you all along. Only your own blindness kept it from you. 1701

Jan 9 2011: Science Is a religion that believes all knowledge is good. It neglects that every advance creates new hazards and detracts from other goals. 1708
Jan 9 2011: Women's Studies are a crock! Doesn't it just say, "We need to be treated differently"? How about Men's Studies for prissy male academics? 1709
Jan 9 2011: Academia is the ultimate bluepill society—an artificial environment supported from the outside and isolated from redpill reality. 1710Jan 9 2011: His Holiness at Washington Reagan Airport. http://twitpic.com/3oioai←Live photo from the road!

Jan 9 2011: Capitalist morality is a system of compensation. Exploit others, then give to charity. Sin, then repent. It all balances out, right? 1713
Jan 9 2011: A life rich with success leaves little time for thought or growth. 1714
Jan 9 2011: Blessed with everything you want, what incentive do you have to leave your comfort zone? 1715
Jan 9 2011: The most damaging moral position is the double life, when you present one face to the world but do the opposite in private. 1716
Jan 9 2011: It is okay to present different aspects of yourself to different people. That's not a lie. It is a lie when the roles contradict each other. 1717

Jan 10 2011: The genius of the two party system is it makes people believe they can only be one or the other. They can stop thinking for themselves! 1721
Jan 10 2011: Give people a choice of two things (Coke v. Pepsi) and most will fall for it, thinking those are the only choices possible. Both brands win! 1722
Jan 10 2011: Transgender issues seem silly. We are ALL aliens in our bodies! Changing your gender won't resolve your problems, only promise to. 1723
Jan 10 2011: Changing your gender is a giant placebo pill. After you have invested so much in the change, you have to believe it made your life better. 1724

Jan 10 2011: Honest, we have TRIED to watch television, but it hurts! It feels like throwing sand into our brain. 1728
Jan 10 2011: The problem with television is you don't control the pace. Information is spoon-fed to you instead of you deciding what you need and when. 1729

Jan 10 2011: Everyone has the right to express their opinion, but not everyone has the right to be heard. 1741

Jan 11 2011: bubble surfing—a form of speculative investing in which one buys an objectively overpriced asset on the assumption it will go even higher. 1757
Jan 11 2011: The best gauge of future performance is past performance—except in investing where the market already factors that assumption in. 1758
Jan 11 2011: The main delusion of growth investing is the same as gambling: You only hear about the winners, not the losers. 1759
Jan 11 2011: A few years ago, we couldn't have imagined Facebook's hold on society. Likewise, we cannot envision now what will replace it. 1760

Jan 11 2011: @lolahayes "Human behavior at large is fairly predictable" <== Only in retrospect. 1763
Jan 11 2011: All human behavior is predictable in retrospect: A+B=C. The problem is predicting it in advance, when you don't know which A and B to use. 1764
Jan 11 2011: The New Coke: Blind taste tests said people preferred it to old Coke. So why did it flop? Apparently, taste was the wrong metric. 1765
Jan 11 2011: You can say, in retrospect, that the promoters of New Coke were fools, but how could they know what the public would react to? 1766
Jan 11 2011: Science gives you only microscopic answers to macroscopic questions. The big picture—integrating all the factors—is an art not a science. 1767
Jan 11 2011: Music has a dangerous hold on the nervous system. Instead of thinking real thoughts, you have an iPod pumping drugs into your brain. 1768
Jan 12 2011: .@The_Scrutiniser "What makes you think 'real thoughts' are so valuable?" <== Is your life worth doing something with? 1769
Jan 12 2011: If you want to understand music, the first thing to do is throw away your iPod and music collection. That's merely music addiction. 1770

Jan 12 2011: Music is all around us, in everything we say and do. That's different, however, than pumping the same songs into your ears, over and over. 1772
Jan 12 2011: Humor is an essential lubricant of life, but it can't be an end in itself. Humor without meaning is just another drug. 1773

Jan 12 2011: @astrangersashes "Everything is a drug in some way." <== A drug is something done not for its own reward, but for the anxiety when you stop. 1780
Jan 12 2011: You know you are addicted to something when you do it not for its own reward but to relieve the anxiety you feel when you stop doing it. 1781
Jan 12 2011: Education is a placebo designed chiefly to occupy a child's time while his brain and body are maturing. Curriculum is irrelevant. 1782

Jan 13 2011: It is during periods of happiness and prosperity that the biggest mistakes are made. 1795

Jan 24 2011: His Holiness is a "peripatetic hyperprolific content generator"—photos from all over, videos, essays, even songs! So, yeah, expect links. 2038
Jan 24 2011: Note: A "content generator" (producing new stuff) is different than a "content referrer" (passing on other people's stuff). Cherish it! 2039
Jan 24 2011: Oklahoma has a idiot breeding program. Works like this: Oklahomans breed. Smart kids move out. Dumb ones stay, then they breed. Repeat. 2040

Jan 24 2011: If women have been abused throughout history, so have men. I think we can agree in general terms that history sucked for almost everyone. 2042

Jan 24 2011: When you embark on any project, there are two goals: the end result you are seeking and the experience you gain along the way. 2050
Jan 24 2011: If you respect your own mind, don't feed it junk! You keep it in shape with meaningful challenges, not programmed entertainment. 2051
Jan 24 2011: Entertainment is to the brain what junk food is to the body. 2052
Jan 24 2011: @hjamess "It doesn't happen often, but you're wrong about entertainment BadDalai." <== How so? It's real experience vs fake experience. 2053
Jan 24 2011: RT @soundhunter: @BadDalaiLama@hjamess seems to me, that it's entertainment in excess, causes bloat/problems, like excess of any other ... 2054
Jan 24 2011: You can enjoy food, but its underlying value is nutrition. You can enjoy entertainment, but its underlying value is... what? 2055
Jan 24 2011: Another term for entertainment is "pseudo experience". When you are "being entertained" you aren't doing real things in the real world. 2056
Jan 24 2011: Occasionally some nutrition slips into entertainment—like a thoughtful movie—but it's no more common than nutrition in junk food. 2057Jan 24 2011: McLean, Texas. http://twitpic.com/3t2yxt←Live photo from the road!

Jan 25 2011: Every tweet has its personality, reflecting the personality of its author. It is a Rorschach of how that person operates. 2065
Jan 25 2011: Most tweets are highly narcissistic, expressing the needs of the author but giving little to others. 2066
Jan 25 2011: Everyone is narcissistic at their core, but some learn to transform it into something useful—giving to others while also serving oneself. 2067
Jan 25 2011: A narcissistic tweet: "Here I am, doing something amazing!" You can get away with a few of these but not a whole stream of them. 2068
Jan 25 2011: You should have *some* narcissistic tweets! Without a dose of "me", your tweet stream will be taken for granted as a free public service. 2069
Jan 25 2011: You can lie in a tweet—It's easy enough.—but you can't fake your personality over time.

Jan 26 2011: Art, beauty, joy, pleasure — Are these things really valid goals in themselves, separate from accomplishment or learning? 2096
Jan 26 2011: Just because an entertainment product is clever, funny, interesting or "good" doesn't mean it is worth your time to consume. 2097
Jan 26 2011: Entertainment is a religion of its own, based on sacred assumptions taken without proof—namely, that entertainment is worth ones time. 2098

Jan 26 2011: "Entertainment" includes news and documentaries. An evening watching the Discovery Channel or CNN is just as wasted as Cartoon Network. 2104
Jan 26 2011: The fact that you have consumed a lot of news and expressed a lot of opinions doesn't make you an active participant in the world. 2105Jan 26 2011: Cosmopolitan.

Jan 27 2011: A "promisoholic" is one who can't stop making promises, far beyond their ability to fulfill them. 2118
Jan 27 2011: Promisoholism is the result of an overwhelming need to please others combined with an unrealistic appraisal of ones own abilities. 2119
Jan 27 2011: For all the experiences of parenting at lower cost and commitment, try foster parenting. It's traumatic, but so is a child of your own. 2120
Jan 27 2011: You can't consider yourself educated in the ways of the world until you have dealt firsthand with the conundrums of child welfare. 2121

Jan 27 2011: "Reverse engineering", in any narrative artform, is starting with what you want to achieve, then back-filling the details to make it happen. 2123
Jan 27 2011: @lolahayes What is called "homelessness" in America isn't a lodging problem; it's a spectrum of mental health issues. 2124
Jan 27 2011: If you feed the homeless, give them comfortable places to stay, doesn't it just make them dependent on you and discourage their own action? 2125
Jan 27 2011: @lolahayes His Holiness recognizes that for many things there are no solution. We change what we can and accept what we cannot change. 2126
Jan 27 2011: @michellenassau "Become homeless and then let's see if you'll still have this limited view." <== LOL! His Holiness *IS* homeless! 2127
Jan 27 2011: You may see His Holiness as "homeless", but he sees you as "home burdened" and has great sympathy for you. 2128
Jan 27 2011: Do not try to solve problems with tools you don't have. Instead look at the tools you do have and see what problems can be solved with them. 2129
Jan 27 2011: @lolahayes HHBDL has never advocated passivity, only working with the tools you have. Right now you have no tools to address homelessness. 2130
Jan 27 2011: Any resources used to feed the hungry can't be used to address the underlying problems that lead to hunger.

Jan 27 2011: In every noble endeavor there are Malthusian systems present, potentially neutralizing your work. 2134
Jan 27 2011: Aliens make poor benefactors. They don't understand the planets they are trying to help and often end up making matters worse. 2135
Jan 27 2011: An irony of child welfare is that the state can take your kids away but you can't give them up—although many parents of teens would like to! 2136
Jan 27 2011: One benefit of juvenile court is that it forces parents and teens back together, since parents are called into court along with their kids. 2137

Jan 28 2011: The economic necessity of "work" gives people structure and identity. Without it, most would be watching TV all day. 2159
Jan 28 2011: Money and the quixotic quest for it provide the infrastructure of the world. It's not the most noble structure, but better than nothing. 2160
Jan 28 2011: There are two ways to gain economic freedom. One is to make more money. The other is to cut your costs. The latter is usually easier. 2161
Jan 28 2011: Money has value only when you don't have enough if it. Otherwise, it's just numbers in a bank account. 2162
