k0mplex··on Building a Startup? Learn from success stories of industry leaders
I clicked on a couple of the stories I know well from first-hand experience and found a lot of mistakes. This is a neat idea but if it's just assembling headlines it will miss the insights that would actually help founders.

k0mplex··on The Future of Europe: An Interview with George Soros
If you don't read the New York Review of Books already, and you like periodicals like the New Yorker and Economist, I recommend adding it to your list - and this article is a good example of why.

Also, this was such a great point by Soros from the interview: "According to Max Planck, among others, subatomic phenomena have a dual character: they can manifest themselves as particles or waves. Something similar applies to human beings: they are part freestanding individuals or particles and partly components of larger entities that behave like waves. The impact they make on reality depends on which alternative dominates their behavior. There are potential tipping points from one alternative to the other but it is uncertain when they will occur and the uncertainty can be resolved only in retrospect."

You only learn what you already half know.
k0mplex··on Adults are Obsolete Children
The attack on lawyers and bankers was unfair. At their best, they are serving others. Service is as important a virtue as any, and it is one that is learned. Children aren't born servers; they are born takers. Serving others, deferring to others, is a sign of maturity. There are virtues in maturity, just as there are in youth. Service, wisdom, patience. These are just as important as imagination, creativity, craft. All are rays of light, all manifest them according to their particular inclination. The important thing is to shine brightly in whatever path one is on.
