i know he's a jerk, but here's one of my favorite Nassim Taleb quotes. i think about it often: "The reader is invited to do the same. Look around you, at your life, at objects, at relationships, at entities. You may replace volatility with other members of the disorder cluster here and there for clarity, but it is not even necessary—when formally expressed, it is all the same symbol. Time is volatility. Education, in the sense of the formation of character, personality, and acquisition of true knowledge, likes disorder; label-driven education and educators abhor disorder. Some things break because of error, others don’t. Some theories fall apart, not others. Innovation is precisely something that gains from uncertainty: and some people sit around waiting for uncertainty and using it as raw material, just like our ancestral hunters."

the value of having a large vocabulary isn't in being eloquent or impressing others, it's in being precise you don't need to use a big word when a small word will do, just don't use the wrong word “To use language well is to use it particularly. Precision of utterance is both a form of lyricism and a species of attention.” gm
