5 Quotes by Hanzi Freinacht

In plain English, you need to wrestle the doubts and accusations that it’s all just bullshit. And, needless to say, the majority of the work of the triple-H population is undeniably so. The reason that it’s so valuable to society is just that some of it isn’t bullshit and even a small percentage of genuine innovations of software, culture or lifestyle can have a huge impact. Still, you never quite know if you are the bullshitter or the hero, or if you are being sold utter bullshit.

Let’s return to the main argument. People are hurting as hell. It matters. We should do something to make them happier, if we can.

At the micro-sociological level, most humans are doing better than ever. Yet there is so much confusion, sufferingand bitter resentment. How many beautiful, privileged people have I not heard whisper to me, late at night, that ifit were up to them, they would never have been born; that they are angry with the world; that they were let down;that they live with guilt and self-doubt; that their friends and families are hypocrites? These are signs of thealienation suffered by modern human beings.
