#WednesdayWisdom #20 from Chuck Wendig's #25ReasonsToKeepMakingStuff: "Because when you make stuff, you improve yourself. And we need you in fighting shape. YOU MUST BE A WHETTED BLADE READY TO SLICE THROUGH SHENANIGANS, CHICANERY, AND GARBAGE." #Phooleosophy #Phooliversity #WhatAPhooleBelieves #makinganimpact #makingadifference #creating #makingstuff #art #artist #courage #adversity #persistence #selfimprovement #improvement https://www.instagram.com/p/Brk-0eZl2EL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=kzs4wpc67ppf

#WednesdayWisdom - It's worth looking more closely at "I'm afraid to" to see if maybe it really means "I must." #Phooliversity #Phooleosophy #WhatAPhooleBelieves https://www.instagram.com/p/BrBQoOildfL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=a87jmlieuap3

#WednesdayWisdom: "Because what you do is bigger than what’s going on. What you make is about tomorrow, so the cuckoo bananapantsness of today must not stop you." - @chuck_wendig, reason #7 from his 25 REASONS TO KEEP ON MAKING STUFF.

Humans have a strong tendency to crave a rigid social hierarchy. In a human social hierarchy, when top people hoard resources, people without resources are encouraged to divide into factions and fight each other. This keeps the disadvantaged busy and diverts attention from the advantaged. Instead of punching down or out, keep looking up. Learn more about our tendency toward solidifying this kind of social structure in Dario Maestripieri's book, MACACHIAVELLIAN INTELLIGENCE. It's about monkeys, Machiavelli, and all of us. And resist the urge to see color, gender, geographical origin, or any other arbitrary categorization as signals guiding you toward hate. Take a breath, follow the resources, and Keep Looking Up. #Phooleosophy #WhatAPhooleBelieves #Phooliversity #sociology #socialpsychology #economics #politics #racism #sexism #antilgbtq #discrimination #classism https://www.instagram.com/p/BpUWn0slh6z/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1be7s0zzgu51l

#WednesdayWisdom Some people won't like the things you make or do. That's OK. Those things aren't for them. The things you do and make are for the people who love them - so love those people back and make and do things for them. #MakeItWorthIt #Phooleosophy #Phooliversity #WhatAPhooleBelieves (at Milwaukee, Wisconsin) https://www.instagram.com/p/Boe1prrlvkw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1humdnf6bwo85

#WednesdayWisdom I've been in entertainment for 38 years. The most frequent frustration I hear from other entertainers is that they can't persuade anyone to support their work - they don't get fans, followers, views, admirers, patrons. I watch these same entertainers in action - and everything they're doing figuratively punches the audience in the face. Including others works - but unconscious exclusion is the norm. What can you do today to let another person know you see them, accept them, and include them? #Phooliversity #WhatAPhooleBelieves #Phooleosophy amazon.com/author/phoole (at Milwaukee, Wisconsin) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnoVYrpH_Ak/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=y8407rcrydia

Some people find the meaninglessness of existence terrifying. I find it comforting - I can CREATE meaning in existence instead of marching to someone else's definition of meaning. I had forgotten how well Douglas Adams captured this in Slartibartfast's speech in Chapter 30 of THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY. #WednesdayWisdom - 'The chances of finding out what really is going on are so absurdly remote that the only thing to do is to say hang the sense of it and keep yourself occupied.' - Douglas Adams #Phooliversity #PhooleSkoole #Phooleosophy #WhatAPhooleBelieves #hhgtg #hitchhikersguidetothegalaxy #douglasadams #42 (at Milwaukee, Wisconsin) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnEamkGHvQT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=141fotlcef76s
