“On Earth, We’re Briefly Gorgeous”
—Ocean Vuong
“And underneath it, the way that they explained it was because you could have a home, you could have all kinds of the creature comforts, you could take care of your family. And then you were left to ponder what it is that you really want. I think the challenge for most people is to realize that this escalating arms race of, you know, more things will solve your problems is not true. More and better is not the solution. It’s this idea that you are on a very precise journey that’s unique to yourself. You are playing a game of which only you are the player. Everybody else is an interloper and you have a responsibility to design the gameplay. And I think a lot of people don’t realize that because if they did, I think they would make a lot of different decisions about how they live their life.”
— Chamath Palihapitiya
