“
Stoic philosophers referred to this as the mutual entailment of the virtues. No virtue, they argued, is a virtue by itself. Even the noblest virtues, standing alone, have their limits.
Honesty in the absence of compassion becomes cruelty. Tenacity unmediated by flexibility congeals into rigidity. Courage without prudence is recklessness.

Embrace the duality! 22.

I love this answer from the Reddit AMA with Neil deGrasse Tyson:
What is your favorite fact about the Universe?
That is will never end. That it’s on a one way trip of expansion. Something that many find to be philosophically unsettling. My view is that if your philosophy is not unsettled daily then you are blind to all the universe has to offer.
A few questions and answers from the excellent thread on Reddit:What is your favorite short science fact you like to tell people to really make them think?

A location based graffiti app where you tag locations to get your name up. Pinpointed to gps coordinates so you can have unique spots within a single location.
Each user would design their tag. Then using augmented reality they would affix their tag image on something in the environment.
Everyones Tags would show up in all users augmented reality allowing for tags to be crossed out, buffed, or covered up. Only owners of locations and appointed squads will have the ability to buff. Cover ups can only be done by those with cred (those with higher scores).
The longer your tag stays up (or burns) the more points you earn.
Points are lost for crossing out, so you must choose to lose in order to gain the spot but be warned as it could create competition.
Tag upgrades become available after a certain number of points(called props) are earned. Upgrades like multi colors so throw-ups or pieces can be made or import your own art. (tags would originally be drawn in app)
Earn titles/badges like all-city, king of the block, etc. Everyone starts out as a toy.
Naturally it would integrate with social media for sharing.
Sounds fun. If you’re an app dev who is interested in helping develop this idea I’d love to talk. Email me!
