Book cover for Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism
working on policy at Facebook was way less like enacting a chapter from Machiavelli and way more like watching a bunch of fourteen-year-olds who’ve been given superpowers and an ungodly amount of money, as they jet around the world to ...more

“Here is something I would like to tell you—stories get better as they get more true.”
Daniel Nayeri, Everything Sad Is Untrue

“Kai stepped close, circled to face his prey, and wrapped his hand around the ghoul's throat. "Do mortals just walk into your channel house all the time? Am I one? Am I stupid?
The ghoul choked out, "I didn't know you were a..."
"Say it." Kai smiled.
"... a demon."
"You idiot." Kai leaned closer to whisper, "I'm the demon.”
Martha Wells, Witch King

“Everything you’ve ever done (...) has been based on overcoming an obstacle—a small step over an internal limit. It was difficult. But it could be done”
Marina Dyachenko, Vita Nostra

Daniel Nayeri
“Imagine you're evil.

Not misunderstood.

Not sad.

But evil.

Imagine you've got a heart that spends all day wanting more.

Imagine your mind is a selfish room full of pride or pity.

Imagine you're like Brandon Goff and you find poor kids in the halls and make fun of their clothes, and you flick their ears until they scream in pain and swing their arms, and so you pin them down and break their fingers.

Or you spit in his food in the cafeteria.

Or you just call him things like cockroach and sand monkey.

Imagine you're evil and you don't do any of those things, but you're like Julie Jenkins and you laugh and you laugh at everything Brandon does, and you even help when a teacher comes and asks what's going on and you say nothing's going on, and he believes you because you get A-pluses in English.

Or imagine you just watch all of this. And you act like you're disgusted, because you don't like meanness. But you don't do anything or tell anyone.

Imagine how much you've got compared to all the kids in the world getting blown up or starved, and the good you could do if you spent half a second thinking about it.

Suddenly evil isn't punching people or even hating them.

Suddenly it's all that stuff you've left undone.

All the kindness you could have given.

All the excuses you gave instead.

Imagine that for a minute.

Imagine what it means.”
Daniel Nayeri, Everything Sad Is Untrue
