These incentives are real, whether you're at The Huffington Post or some tiny blog. Taken individually, the resulting output is obvious: bad stories, incomplete stories, wrong stories, unimportant stories.","author":"Ryan Holiday","tags":["blogs","journalism","reporting"],"id":86918,"author_id":"Ryan+Holiday"},{"text":"If you were born with the ability to change someone’s perspective or emotions, never waste that gift.

Everything from the past is so readily available in ways that it never was before and because of that, western civilization will experience a period of arrested growth.
