Quotes by Scott Alexander
"If I write something that gets a thousand fans and two haters, my natural inclination is to think “Aaagh! Two haters! I must never write again!" Blogs are in an awkward middle ground between “personal diary” and “newspaper of record”. The bigger they get, the more they get treated (should get treated?) as newspapers of record, which makes it harder to do personal diary things. I try really hard to block or ignore these people when I spot them, but they do a little bit of psychic damage each time."
"All good is hard. All evil is easy. Dying, losing, cheating, and mediocrity is easy. Stay away from easy."
"Making money is a hobby that will complement any other hobbies you have, beautifully."
