Goals are great, but let’s not have a complete preoccupation with efficacy.

For we risk leaving so much behind…

I mean, what about courage, justice, compassion, sacrifice, and love?

Sure, we could productively spend time better elsewhere – but let’s not forget about the romantic life.

I want a wild and precious life.

Preoccupation with efficacy is the main obstacle to a poetic, noble, elegant. robust, and heroic life.

-Nassim Taleb, The Bed Of Procrustes
