We should stop worshipping numerical comfort. Twenty partial views don’t make a whole picture. They make noise. They make an echo. They create professionalized, sanitized, panel-approved blindness.
If you're lucky enough to know someone with twenty years of scar tissue in a domain, listen. Don't just ask what they know. Ask what they've unlearned. Ask what they stopped saying because nobody understood. That's where the signal lives.
“Worshipping numerical comfort” is a fantastic phrase that I’ll be pondering here for the next few days.
Your heart's desire is to be told some mystery. The mystery is that there is no mystery.
You cannot wake someone up who is pretending to be asleep.
It is important to draw wisdom from many different places. If you only draw wisdom from one place, it becomes rigid and stale. Understanding others, the other elements and the other nations, will help you become whole.
Suffering is necessary until you realize it is unnecessary.
This Is The Sign of a Great Thinker

Wisdom isn't found in certainty. Wisdom is knowing that while you might know a lot, there's also a lot you don't know.
Wisdom is trying to find out what is right rather than trying to be right.
Wisdom is realizing when you're wrong, and backing down graciously.
