    Arguing with a fool is like wrestling with a pig.

    Things in excess becomes their opposite.

    Heads of states given too much freedom becomes dictatorships

    Money becomes golden handcuffs

    (Tim Ferris show #41, Rolf Potts)

    This phenomenon is called enantiodromia, the tendency of things to change into their opposites, especially as a supposed governing principle of natural cycles and of psychological development.
    “the remorseless enantiodromia between good luck and bad”. From the Greek meaning ‘running in opposite ways’. Cute.

    tldr; Maintain a mindful relationship with stuff, time and energy. Conspicuous consumption is A Thing.
