People Who Can’t Tell the Difference Between Good and Garbage

If I ever have to interview someone, I'm going to ask them what kind of music they like.

And if they say "everything", they're not getting the job.

Because in all things, there is great. There is good. There is garbage. And there are those who can not tell the difference.

Whether it's design. Whether it's music. Whether it's an argument. Whether it's talent.

There are those who can classify and categorize - those who can tell the difference. And I have no interest in working with those who can't.

I am a Cynical Optimist

I was called a cynic the other day.

That's a fair assessment. After all, I have a general distrust in human motivation, and therefore any and all institutions headed by said humans.

But, I am not a pessimist. In fact, I have incredible hope.

The world is not getting worse and worse. The evolution of technology, transparency and thought is overwhelming human ignorance, by definition. The world will get better and better. In fact, it's already started.
