    exists only in our imaginations.”

    Scott Adams
    “What does it mean to be yourself?” he asked. “If it
    means to do what you think you ought to do, then you’re
    doing that already. If it means to act like you’re exempt

    world; you would probably stop bathing and wearing clothes.
    The advice to ‘be yourself’ is obviously nonsense. But our
    brains accept this tripe as wisdom because it is more comfortable
    to believe we have a strategy for life than to believe
    we have no idea how to behave.”
    Scott Adams, God's Debris: A Thought Experiment

    “If you’re going to create, create a lot. Creativity is not like playing the slot machines, where failure to win means you go home broke. With creativity, if you don’t win, you’re usually no worse off than if you hadn’t played.”
    Scott Adams
