|
|
* Let your mind move freely, become a seeker
|
|
* Accept that knowledge is scattered broadly
|
|
* Find kernels of truth and germinate thoughts
|
|
|
|
* Take something from every ideology,
|
|
fear nothing
|
|
* Subscribe to that which you find value in
|
|
* Mistrust labels, they carry unimaginable
|
|
baggage
|
|
|
|
* Acknowledge all that came before, but accept
|
|
the utility of your journey
|
|
* Never believe that you have the best vision
|
|
for the world
|
|
* Don't try to fashion the world to your
|
|
ideals; your ideals are cursory
|
|
|
|
* Be a maximal minimalist, distill purity from
|
|
immensity
|
|
* Find, purify, share, repeat
|
|
* To conclude means to cease to grow
