Charlie Kirk on Conversation and Violence 

* “When people stop talking, that’s when you get violence.”

* “The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. The only way out of the labyrinth of suffering is to forgive. Welcome without judgment, love without condition, forgive without limit. Always forgive your enemies. Nothing annoys them so much.”

* “When things are moving very fast and people are losing their minds, it’s important to stay grounded. Turn off your phone, read scripture, spend time with friends, and remember, internet fury is not real life.”

* “When you stop having a human connection with someone you disagree with, it becomes a lot easier to commit violence. What we as a culture have to get back to is being able to have reasonable agreement where violence is not an option.”

“Only buy something that you’d be perfectly happy to hold if the market shuts down for ten years.” – Warren Buffett

“War is the ultimate tool of politics.” – R. Buckminster Fuller

“Anyone who wishes to abridge free speech should be regarded as a tyrant.” – John Leake

Intelligent Humans Talking About Artificial Intelligence

* “AI is likely to be either the best or worst thing to happen to humanity.” – Elon Musk

* “The pace of progress in artificial intelligence is incredibly fast.” – Jeff Bezos

* “Artificial intelligence will evolve to become a superintelligence. We need to be mindful of how it’s developed and ensure that it aligns with humanity’s best interests.” – Bill Gates

* “AI is going to reshape every industry and every job.” – Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn

“AI will not replace humans, but those who use AI will replace those who don’t.” – Ginni Rometty, former CEO of IBM

James Clear on Productivity

“The essence of productivity requires two things:
