    Posted this in another thread but it's a good one:

    It is no longer enough to automate information flows about us; the goal now is to automate us. These processes are meticulously designed to produce ignorance by circumventing individual awareness and thus eliminate any possibility of self-determination. As one data scientist explained to me, “We can engineer the context around a particular behaviour and force change that way… We are learning how to write the music, and then we let the music make them dance.” -Shoshana Zuboff, author of The Age of Surveillance Capitalism: The Fight for a Human Future at the New Frontier of Power.

  7. It's not the smartest people who will achieve success, it's the people who procrastinate less, make fewer excuses and take actions every day towards the goals they want to achieve.

    “I’m astonished at how readily a great many people I know, young people, have accepted a reduced economic prospect and limited freedoms in any substantial sense, and basically traded them for being able to screw around online.”

  16. Fuck, I don't have one now.

    My quote from song.

    "Life planned out before my birth, nothing could I say
    Had no chance to see myself, molded day by day
    Looking back I realize, nothing have I done
    Left to die with only friend
    Alone I clench my gun"
    James Hetfield

    Honestly, can't relate to it, it's just mood.
     
  17. "Permanence, perseverance and persistence
    in spite of all obstacles, discouragements, and impossibilities:
    It is this, that in all things
    distinguishes the strong soul from the weak."

    “A common misconception is that action comes from inspiration like you have to wait to be inspired and then you take action, and it’s the opposite that’s true. You just force yourself to take action and you start doing something and you don’t judge yourself for the immediate results, and then through that action you become inspired, and then you get going and that’s it” -Dan Avidan
