My early love life is in this Feynman quote and young me does not like it.
“If, in some cataclysm, all of scientific knowledge were to be destroyed, and only one sentence passed on to the next generations of creatures, what statement would contain the most information in the fewest words? I believe it is the atomic hypothesis … that all things are made of atoms — little particles that move around in perpetual motion, attracting each other when they are a little distance apart, but repelling upon being squeezed into one another.”
It may seem difficult at first, but everything in life seems difficult at first.

Most guys would consider politics to be either boring, out of their reach, or they just feel plain powerless to do anything or even give a fuck.

You don't want them to hamper your work with their annoying ethics and bright ideas.

If women courted men, they'd rarely be accepted.
