I build ideas and talk about the Internet all day long. I also write and publish stuff.
RT @benparr: If you’re struggling, feeling depressed or coping with an addiction/mental disorder, reach out. Talk to somebody. You aren’t alone.
I think we should all just take a day to be much, much nicer to one another -- you know, for a change.
Just read an article on Robin Williams; comments devolved into a bizarre and unrelated political rant; we live in a strange world.
If someone you care about is having a hard time, let them know that they matter to you and keeping letting them know. That's it.
Depression is not a thing that can be fixed, but fixing it is not the point. The point is not to ignore sadness when you see it.
Talk to someone about something, anything. Stay connected. Stay involved. The worst enemy is the silence.
The problem with depression is that it hits people in the dark, in the quiet, in places where even those who care rarely look.
Robin Williams died...

The only people in the world who I trust to make complex decisions are those who know they might eventually need to take a 180.
The inability to change ones opinion based on shifting evidence is not courage, it's insanity.

In the long run I think it's much more important to care about the process people use to come to conclusions than particular conclusions.
