how i try to live

• stay open to other minds, but stay anchored in reason
• beauty is fundamental; treat it as such
• update your beliefs when the world gives you new information
• treat failure as information, not identity
• treat ambition like stewardship, not self-aggrandizement
• take ideas seriously
• don’t cling to sunk costs, whether in projects or identities
• learn as an act of devotion
• loyalty to truth matters more than loyalty to tribe
• treat culture as something you are responsible for, not just something you live inside
• money is useful; beyond that, irrelevant
• generosity is a force multiplier
