it’s very important to communicate that anything that spreads out your message to the world has to really communicate what value it brings to your end user or your end customer. It doesn’t matter really too much who you are, or what you do, what your product is, what are its specifications. It’s why is it useful to people? Why is it helping people save money? Why is it helping people make money? I think that is how services and products should be marketed today.

Good analysis/critics of Nicholas Taleb's Black Swan

I worry that the level of interrupt, the sort of overwhelming rapidity of information — and especially of stressful information — is in fact affecting cognition. It is in fact affecting deeper thinking. I still believe that sitting down and reading a book is the best way to really learn something.  And I worry that we’re losing that.
