Tim Ferriss Quote

The disease of our times is that we live on the surface. We’re like the Platte River, a mile wide and an inch deep. I always say, If you want to become a billionaire, invent something that will allow people to indulge their own Resistance. Somebody did invent it. It’s called the Internet. Social media. That wonderland where we can flit from one superficial, jerkoff distraction to another, always remaining on the surface, never going deeper than an inch.
