“In trying to become 'objective,' Western culture made 'objects' of things and people when it distanced itself from them, thereby losing 'touch' with them.”
“If losers can exploit what their adversaries teach them, yes, losers can become winners in the long term.”
“I think people can be trusted to know what makes them unhappy. Maybe we don't always know what we want exactly, but we can usually say what we don't with a fair amount of specificity.”
“Becoming wealthy is about accumulating wealth.”
