One time someone wrote a lie about me. I hated this person. I judged them. Why did they lie about me? Why did they wrong me? I judged them as evil. This person pulled apart two or three of my articles out of hundreds, and pulled sentences out of context and then said the worst things […]

Reading is the worst “invention” ever. Reading is like a mental death squad. On average I’ve read about 10 hours a week since I was five years old. Some weeks more, some weeks less. That’s 23,400 hours of reading. That’s about 11 work years (the average person works 2000 hours a year). I could’ve done […]

No. I was at a dinner party last month. Someone said I had written a self-help book. The host of the dinner, a psychiatrist, asked, “Oh? Are you a psychologist?” I said, “No.” He immediately disliked me. I felt it. Whatever. I didn’t care. But I don’t write self-help books. Most of my books are […]

When you called Steve G. and said, “Do you think I’m so ugly that no girl will ever like me?” and he said, “Maybe in college or later someone will like you”, remember to not listen to him. In fact, probably better not to ask that question but I know that is a big ask. […]
I’m usually accused of being too much of an optimist. When someone tells me “global warming” I immediately think, “Good thing people are working on alt-energy solutions.” When someone tells me “automation…
I’m usually accused of being too much of an optimist. When someone tells me “global warming” I immediately think, “Good thing people are working on alt-energy solutions.” When someone tells me “automation will crush jobs” I think, “Well, look at what happened when ATMs supposedly were going to replace bank tellers. Nothing. The cost savings […]

I almost ruined my career right at the beginning. In 1992, HBO offered me a job. I wish I had taken it. They wanted me to work on this new field, “virtual reality”. I never responded to them. I felt inadequate. How come? I didn’t want to take a job in the “real world” until […]
