This is a sweet video... I like to tell people that your family is not your fate. You’re not doomed to become your parents or to live exactly as you lived in your own childhood. If you came from a broken home, full of anger, constant arguing, and disorder, you don’t have to repeat that. You can escape it. But, almost paradoxically, you don’t escape it by obsessing over how you were wronged in your childhood. That usually pulls you right back into it. That’s why so many men who swear they’ll never become their fathers end up doing exactly that. You escape it by being future-focused for the good of others. You escape it by building something that blesses people beyond yourself, in your community, in your church, and especially in your family. You can be the link in a new chain. God brings beauty from ashes, and he has a habit of extinguishing a hellish heritage and, through a bold-hearted, repentant man, replacing it with the beginnings of a heritage shaped by heaven. But “your family is not your fate” cuts both ways. Maybe you’re not the first link, but the second or third in a godly heritage. You were blessed with advantages, growing up in church, reading the Bible, living in a home with present parents. If you take that for granted, your life will look very different from theirs, and not in a good way. The good life, as the Bible defines it, grows out of a Christian who wakes up and asks the LORD, “How can I obey you today, for your glory and for the good of others into the future?”

Peter Thiel on why shortcuts worked perfectly for Boomers but are “deadly” if you’re a Millennial Thiel believes the effectiveness of “shortcuts” in life oscillates from generation to generation: “It’s a good idea to take shortcuts in a world where nobody takes shortcuts. In a world where everybody takes shortcuts, maybe the shortcut isn’t going to work and you’re actually better off figuring out the other thing.” He gives politics as an example: “The shortcut in politics is, ‘I’m not going to figure out what I think about the issues; I’m just going to look at the polls.’ The pollster was the one who was really for President, and that was an effective Boomer technique for many years. If you had a better pollster, you could more quickly get to where the crowd was going, and you didn’t need to waste time thinking about stuff. In a world where very few people are doing it, that can be a very good strategy. But by the time you get to the Millennials — when everyone’s been trained to take shortcuts — it doesn’t quite work.” Thiel continues: “It vaguely maps onto tracking. Tracking in school or tracking professionally is a shortcut to a successful career. Baby Boomers who stayed on track did quite well… you went to law school, you became a partner at a law firm, and the tracks worked. By the time we get to the Millennials, they know all the tracks you’re supposed to do, but the tracks work less well when everyone knows them and everyone’s doing the same thing. There are these similarities between the Millennials and the Boomers, but in practice it’s working really differently. The things that would’ve worked perfectly for you as a Boomer are deadly if you’re a Millennial.” Video source: Dave Rubin Dave RubinShow (2018)
