How to Be Smart in a Stupid World
- Before making a decision, even a small one, ask yourself, “What’s the risk/reward or cost/benefit of each option?”
- Draw your political perspectives from the likes of Tom Friedman, David Gergen, and Charles Krauthammer not from entertainers, for example, Jon Stewart, Dennis Miller, or Stephen Colbert, let alone Angelina Jolie, Adam Sandler, or Bono.
- Patronize The Economist, The PBS News Hour, CSpan, the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal rather than Time, The Daily Beast, Cable Network TV News, or the Huffington Post, let alone floggers (no it’s not a typo) such as the Daily Kos or Daily Caller.
- Prefer people that have developed intelligently derived views from both liberal and conservative perspectives rather than people who are liberal or conservative on everything.
- Draw your beliefs more from non-fiction, for example, good biographies or books on leadership than from fiction: novels, movies, and plays. Fiction creators are artists. I don’t believe it’s wise to form one’s views based disproportionately on artists’ input.
- Practice secular humanism rather than religion or deity-based spirituality.
- Choose work that makes the world better and uses your best abilities even if it pays less.
- Spend more discretionary income on charity than on materialism. Isn’t the money better spent on a cost-effective local charity or giving to a person you know who’d really benefit from the money than on buying yet another pair of shoes or a $30,000 new car rather than a $2,000 used Toyota?
- Eschew egalitarianism/redistribution in favor of meritocracy. In the long run, greater good will accrue.
- Fight against or at least vote against efforts to drive us out of our cars. The restrictions of our freedom and wasting of our time outweighs the environmental benefit. Instead, support efforts to improve technology–e.g., increase CAFE standards, fuel-cell and solar-powered cars, etc.
- Prioritize productivity over work-life balance.
