I Think That Utopia Is A Theory

The Opposite Of Esprit D'escalier Is The Way That Life's Embarrassments Come Back To Haunt Us Even After They're Long Past. I Could Remember Every Stupid Thing I'd Ever Said Or Done, Recall Them With Picture-perfect Clarity. Any Time I Was Feeling Low, I'd Naturally Start To Remember Other Times I Felt That Way, A Hit Parade Of Humiliations Coming One After Another To My Mind.

I'd Never Been A Tall Guy, And The Girls I'd Dated Had All Been My Height--teenaged Girls Grow Faster Than Guys, Which Is A Cruel Trick Of Nature.

Open Platforms And Experimental Amateurs Eventually Beat Out The Spendy, Slick Pros. Relying On Incumbents To Produce Your Revolutions Is Not A Good Strategy. They're Apt To Take All The Stuff That Makes Their Products Great And Try To Use Technology To Charge You Extra For It, Or Prohibit It Altogether.

... I Think That I Was Too Self-centered To Ever Develop Good Skills As A Peacemaker. In My Younger Days, I Assumed That It Was Because I Was Smarter Than Everyone Else, With No Patience For Explaining Things In Short Words For Mouthbreathers Who Just Didn't Get It.

The First Casualty Of Any Battle Is The Plan Of Attack.
