Looking into the journeys of amazing people, their talents are intriguing, but the inspiring part is how they worked around their deficiencies.

All of your heroes are as flawed as us all.

Most of the time, the defining ingredient is just a stubborn incapacity to accept failure as an option.

Just saw JD Vance talk about the trade war with China claiming "we have all the cards.

"The heroes journey" is a term to describe a story line in which the protagonist has an adventure as an individual.

"The heroines journey" means they have help from friends.

Harry Potter starts off alone and later gets friends to help. Transitioning from the heroes journey to the heroines journey.

Yeah, more worried about how to speak well than act well

We must have honour amongst thieves though, eh? Who cares if it's only in how we address them

"You're guilty of war crimes"

"How dare you.. The right honourable gentleman is guilty of war crimes"

"That's better, now leave for your honesty"

AI isn't "taking our jobs"

It is doing "the" job.
