On a hike in San Francisco several years ago, Matt Mullenweg recommended I read “The Tail End” by Tim Urban on the Wait But Why blog—if you only read one article this month, make it that one. It uses diagrams to underscore how short life really is. Here’s just one gem: “It turns out that when I graduated from high school, I had already used up 93% of my in-person parent time. I’m now enjoying the last 5% of that time. We’re in the tail end.” Might be time for you (and me) to rethink our personal priorities.

"For example, one of the greatest kind of mental images I have from growing up in Soviet Union is if you went to a government-owned store and every store was, of course, owned by the government, you would very quickly notice that the people whose job was to sell you things from behind the counter were always very fat while everyone you knew in your life was always very skinny. 'This doesn't make any sense. How do these people who happen to work in food stores are always really well-fed?' 'Well, because they're stealing.'" Max Levchin

"But the thing that was so disturbing about the bust is that after 60 years of War on Drugs, you had customs agents who still didn’t know the difference between coca and cocaine after expending a trillion dollars on this failed campaign. And that was really the equivalent, if you think about, of Eliot Ness busting a truckload of potatoes in violation of the Volstead Act. Coca is to cocaine what potatoes are to vodka." — Wade Davis (Wade Davis)
