Reflections that continue to unfold.

"The essence of all wealth is the relationship between people.""The important thing is not to possess more money, but to create more beauty.""Equality and freedom are the results of natural selection in the evolution of civilization.""The essence of class is a series of chains of contempt.""In the future, labor itself will become a game.""Only innovation makes one immortal.""Alms without love are worse than no alms at all.""The feelings of autonomy, competence, and relatedness are, at their core, the feeling of being loved."— From A Humanistic Capital Theory

"If an organization is to develop healthily in the long term, it is best to achieve a separation of administrative power and financial power.""Administrative authority should be meritocratic; financial authority should be democratic.""Justice is the establishment of correct relationships between people, and the correction of incorrect ones.""Corruption is the unreasonable collusion and conversion between operational power and financial power.""All the peaks and valleys in life are simultaneous; it just depends on which direction you are looking.""Governance is not an infinite game... The free development of human beings is the infinite game."— From The Logic of Governance: The Separation of Administrative Power and Financial Power

"It is said that Einstein once called compound interest the eighth wonder of the world. If so, the compound interest of love should be the greatest miracle on earth.""Love is to appreciate, to protect, and to fulfill the unique beauty in her.""The essence of marriage is a risk management system for the process of pursuing the compound interest of love together.""A person's sense of happiness comes almost entirely from experiencing their relationships with themself and with others.""The opposite of love is not hate, nor is it indifference; it is contempt.""To say 'no' to contempt, even at a cost, is precisely the most precious and unique quality of humanity.""The most suitable prior expectation is to meet a normal, ordinary person.""Love is about mutual fulfillment; marriage is about co-evolution."— From The Compound Interest of Love: Applying Economic Thinking to Intimacy and Relationships

"Life is the interpretation of life.""Perspective 1 sees life as an objective function to be optimized, while Perspective 2 sees life as a chapter to be written.""Rather than a series of choices to be made, life is better understood as a process of forming an interpretation.""The problem is not competition itself, but being forced to compete according to an external metric set by a power structure... People specialize themselves for the sake of this metric.""Those in a state of involution feel a sense of pale powerlessness. It is the powerlessness of lacking a sense of history, an unbearable lightness of being.""To be anti-involution is to break the game.""Identity is a dual expectation, including both the individual's expectation of the self and society's expectation of the individual.""Charisma can lead people to victory, but it is not adept at leading people toward happiness."— From Anti-involution: Escaping the Trap of Collective Anxiety and Pointless Competition

"Every person is born a remarkable learner.""Learning is personal; education is social.""Not treating people as human beings, or in other words, the objectification of people, is the root of all immorality.""Education should cultivate remarkable learners who can befriend time.""The power of joy, the power of caring, and the power of focus—each is a necessary condition for active learning; together, they are the sufficient condition.""Life is not a preparation for life. Life is life itself.""Learning is not about prostrating yourself at the feet of some Buddha; learning is about being a remarkable learner like Monkey King, doing everything in your power to leap out of others' palms."— From The Remarkable Learner

"The market itself has no right or wrong; right or wrong lies in the models that investors use to understand it.""A hedge fund is a form of spiritual practice.""To leave behind discrimination, attachment, and delusion—that is called wisdom... Even if one cannot attain transcendent wisdom (Prajñā), those who work in hedge funds can, at the very least, strive to be people of knowledge with a conscience."— From What Ultimately is Hedge Fund
