Wisdom
We Lost the Way on Poverty Too: Contrary to common myth, the falling poverty rates among blacks was a continuing trend from the 1940s, not the result of programs like âWar on Povertyâ. Additionally, the welfare state saw increasing crime rates, dissolution of the family structure, and other social disturbances â Thomas Sowell
Two Parents > One: The dissolution of the family structure is a phenomenon all over the western countries, where 40% of children are raised with only one parent â Thomas Sowell
A Useful Randian Lesson: âIf what you draw from Randâs philosophy is the idea that you have a fundamental moral responsibility to think about whatâs right and whatâs wrong for you, thatâs goodâ â Jimmy Wales, Founder of Wikipedia

Go for the Startup Gig: Your career is not doomed if your startup fails, the lessons you learn along the way are invaluable. Youâll always have the opportunity to go back to the big company if need be. Society should encourage and appropriately recognize innovation and even just the attempt at innovation. - Jimmy Wales, Founder of Wikipedia
Who Owns the Middle Armrest on a Plane? âThe fight for ownership is over ambiguityâ â James Salzman
Trust Others: âIf you design (your internet space) for the worst people, you fail to design for good peopleâ. For Example, at a steakhouse, we donât lock everyone in a cage at their table because they have a knife. We trust people to be good rather than limit the rare occurrence of a bad person using a knife (as opposed to the TSA that basically bans metal knivesâŚ). Jimmy Wales, Founder of Wikipedia
