"We're not really taught how to recreate constructively. We need to do more than find diversions; we need to restore and expand ourselves. Our idea of relaxing is all too often to plop down in front of the television set and let its pandering idiocy liquefy our brains. Shutting off the thought process is not rejuvenating; the mind is like a car battery-it recharges by running."

It had a great impact on me and I never had a TV in the living room. I made my kid read this as well. This speech is aging well and is timeless in my opinion.

" by making things that genuinely delight its customers." - sure all these mindless, addictive apps, sites like Facebook, Instagram, binge watching on Netflix, time sink like YouTube are all genuinely delighting me, I walk away feeling great about myself.

Glossing over important aspects to either feel good about themselves or to project as do-gooders is not going unnoticed.

Not a zero-sum game, the pie is growing etc are some of the reasons we tell ourselves so that we (the middle class knowledger workers) can sleep at night. I bought 'Winners take all' last year, but finally started reading it recently and finished more than 50%. I would like the commenters to read an author's work before criticizing it, otherwise you are the one who is making assumptions.

Wealth is relative, one can be a multimillionaire and still feel inferior to a billionaire. Even in billionaires, there is a ranking game.

He has all the f u money he needs, no day job, genuine curiosity, there is no need to doubt it. His intellectual curiosity is so refreshing when almost everybody reads books to signal something.

The Lives of Others is a beautiful movie.

I fell for the clickbait :)

I want to emphasize that DeleteWhatsapp, DeleteInstagram should trend equally with DeleteFacebook.
