Said on Conversations with Coleman

“Growth really does hinge on your ability to question assumptions, reevaluate previous beliefs, face failures and mistakes head on and admit the failure. And if you have an AI that is just constantly sucking up to you and validating everything you already think and believe about yourself, in many ways that becomes antithetical to personal growth.” — Mark Manson, Conversations with Coleman

“We expect everybody to be equal to John Wooden, and that's impossible. So we fired coach after coach, although their winning records have been 60 or 70%, which any university other than UCLA would have been thrilled with, with the result that UCLA is now $150 million in debt in its athletic department because I'm having to buy out all these contracts. Again, my chancellor should have read my book.” — Jared Diamond, Conversations with Coleman

“Of the major leaders of the world since World War II, interestingly, there were only two who stepped down voluntarily, Nelson Mandela and Lee Kuan Yew. All others were voted out of office or they died. Evidently, once you have succeeded in high office and have gotten a good opinion of yourself, you are not likely to change that opinion and step down.” — Jared Diamond, Conversations with Coleman

“Like you can't just decide to believe. You can decide to belong though. Like if you decide that you want to go to church every Sunday and you want to take part in these rituals of religious life, maybe that does make you happier, even in the absence of belief.” — Megan Phelps Roper, Conversations with Coleman

“It's because the church believes in predestination. So literally everything is predestinated by God… God doesn't hate you because you sin. You sin because God hates you.” — Megan Phelps Roper, Conversations with Coleman

“Benny Gantz once told me, Netanyahu's a better politician than I am. He meant that as an insult, okay? He's a politician. But when I heard that, I thought there's just one problem. You're in politics. And he is your political opponent.” — Elliot Kaufman, Conversations with Coleman

“I asked an Ivy League admissions officer: if we admitted 50 people and 45 of them worked out and five got in fights in the common room, is that success or failure? I said that's a resounding success. He said, 'I view that as failure.'” — Roland Fryer, Conversations with Coleman

“Uncoolness is Judaism's brand.” — Dara Horn, Conversations with Coleman

“I believe that when we teach our young people in the United States that America is exceptional, we are doing them a disservice.” — Tim Naftali, Conversations with Coleman
