Different Kinds of BS

Jeff Bezos once said there are different kinds of smart. Distinguishing the various flavors is important because if you think smarts comes in just one form, you’ll miss dozens of other nuanced varieties. BS is the same. It comes in countless forms, some harder to spot than others. False modesty, projecting, double standards, hypocrisy, tugging at heartstrings – these aren’t lies; they’re subtle forms of BS which is why they’re so prevalent. ... Read more

And it does so silently, where growth is almost never visible right now but staggering over long periods of time. It’s quiet compounding, and it’s a wonder to see. I like the idea of quietly compounding your money. Just like in nature, it’s where you’ll find the most impressive results. ... Read more

Simple stories, feel-good stories. Those are some of history’s most seductive beliefs, and they always will be. Here are a few that stick out. ... Read more
