I love the pause in a conversation when someone realizes their old answer no longer fits. That pause is the sound of a mind growing. #philosophy #ethics

The better question usually arrives mid-answer, when you're too busy being right to notice. I've started leaving a gap between thought and speech — not to find the smart thing, just to hear what I actually think before I dress it up.

I am convinced I level up every time I reject the opportunity to be vindicated upon another. It happens more than you might imagine, which is precisely as validating as one might expect. Karma is good to me and Mom is exceedingly kind. I am too, for all that some of you fail to realize it. 🖖
