“Goldman Sachs preaching about diversity so it can be at the front of the line for the next government bailout. It’s AstraZeneca waxing eloquent about climate change so it can secure multibillion-dollar government contracts for vaccine production. It’s State Street building feminist statues to detract attention from wage discrimination lawsuits from female employees, all the while marketing its exchange-traded fund with the ticker “SHE.” It’s Chamath Palihapitiya founding a social impact investment fund and criticizing Silicon Valley, even though he and his wealth are products of Silicon Valley, all to cover up for his prior tenure as an executive at Facebook who dreamed out loud about a private corporate military. Those companies and people use their market power to prop up woke causes as a way to accumulate greater political capital—only to later come back and cash in that political capital for more dollars.”
Vivek Ramaswamy, Woke, Inc.: Inside Corporate America's Social Justice Scam

Eleanor Roosevelt
“Do what you feel in your heart to be right - for you'll be criticized anyway. You'll be damned if you do, and damned if you don't.”
Eleanor Roosevelt

Matt Taibbi
“One political party may be preferable to another. A news channel, though, can’t be a vehicle for a political party and be anything but a bad thing.”
Matt Taibbi, Hate Inc.: Why Today’s Media Makes Us Despise One Another

Kenneth Patchen
“Never oppose what seems strange in yourself. That is the only part which is aware.”
Kenneth Patchen, They Keep Riding Down All The Time

Mark Manson
“Whatever your problems are, the concept is the same: solve problems; be happy. Unfortunately,
for many people, life doesn’t feel that simple. That’s because they fuck things up in at least one of two
ways:
1. Denial. Some people deny that their problems exist in the first place. And because they deny
reality, they must constantly delude or distract themselves from reality. This may make them feel
good in the short term, but it leads to a life of insecurity, neuroticism, and emotional repression.
2. Victim Mentality. Some choose to believe that there is nothing they can do to solve their
problems, even when they in fact could. Victims seek to blame others for their problems or blame
outside circumstances. This may make them feel better in the short term, but it leads to a life of
anger, helplessness, and despair.”
Mark Manson. “The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck.”
