Join 📚 Rasul's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Rasul's read, .
For in the city are gathered, rightly or wrongly, the wealth and brains produced in the countryside; in the city invention and industry multiply comforts, luxuries and leisure; in the city traders meet, and barter goods and ideas; in that cross-fertilization of minds at the crossroads of trade intelligence is sharpened and stimulated to creative power. In the city some men are set aside from the making of material things, and produce science and philosophy, literature and art. Civilization begins in the peasant’s hut, but it comes to flower only in the towns.
Our Oriental Heritage

We’ve become so accustomed to this format that we rarely question it and we treat it as a reliable source of knowledge. If someone has a study to back up what they’re saying, then it must be true.
But we also know that science often fails to replicate in these disciplines. It may be that *most* of psychology [does not replicate](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replication_crisis). So should we dispense with the concepts of the field entirely? No, we just need to remove the science and turn our brains back on a bit.

To make money, you need other people to work for you, make decisions for you, help you, and partner with you. You need vendors. You need people to buy from you. You need investors and experts who can advise you. You need people you can reach out to who can add value to your life while you add value to theirs.
