Notes from the Post-it Wall | Week of July 30, 2023

By David Himmel

• All hype is subject to criticism.

• Confidence is not a proxy for talent.

• Fear and loathing is a universal truth.

• The haircut and outfit sported by finance bros is as much a uniform as what The Beatles wore on Ed Sullivan in 1964. The biggest difference is that The Beatles looked cool where the finance bros look like uninspired turds.

• Everyone deserves one bad tattoo. Some people deserve many.

• Crushing ennui is terrible for weekend plans. But weekend plans may be exactly what your crushing ennui needs.
