A batch of the best highlights from what Swapnil's read, .
Mike elaborated in our conversation: “I don’t feel like the people are necessarily being deceitful. It’s just realizing that everybody’s got their own agenda. Even a music magazine is not interviewing you because they love music, right? Their day to day is ‘We need ad dollars, we need clickthrough. . . .’ If you have a 40-word sentence that chops down to 7, [and] it’s really titillating, [it doesn’t matter if] it has nothing to do with anything you said in your interview. It’s just clickbait, [but] they’ll absolutely go for that because that’s what their business is built on.”
Tools of Titans

No one likes a braggart.
If you’re religious, perhaps you know Proverbs 27:2: “Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth.”
Or Leonardo da Vinci: “He who truly knows has no occasion to shout.”
Or Mark Twain: “Noise proves nothing. Often a hen who has merely laid an egg cackles as if she had laid an asteroid.”
One of my favorites is by humorist Evan Esar: “The only way to cure an egotist from bragging is by surgery — amputation at the neck.”
