My manifesto can’t be written at this time. Currently, any personal declaration would not be a reference to maxims I have created through my own learned experience, but a regurgitation of those which I have read.

These days, when you're talking to one person, you're talking to a thousand. - Beau Willimon

The best way to predict the future is to invent it. - Alan Kay

Embrace accountability and take business risks under your own name. Society will reward you with responsibility, equity, and leverage. - Naval Ravikant

Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world. - Archimedes

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication - Leonardo da Vinci

Slow is smooth, smooth is fast - Navy SEALs

Can you prove that you are? - Transcendence

As Naval Ravikant (more specifically, Eric Jorgenson) intelligently put, these maxims are mnemonics that allow me to recall the principal wisdom of others.

It is my personal ambition to trade borrowed wisdom for my own.
