Wisdom from the Captain

My life, as is yours, is short and finite.  The most valuable thing you or any other person has on this planet is time.  Therefore, through a very simple Darwinian process of elimination, the people closest to you in your life are reliable on account you plain don't like wasting your time.  People who flake, cancel out, etc. etc., don't make it to that elite group on account they are unreliable and waste your time and you don't want to hang out with such people (that or they also don't want to hang out with you either).  The flakes never get to know you, spend time with you, and therefore never form friendships or romances.  But by default then the flakes never get any of your attention - be it social, financial, romantic or favors.

And I want to say that again, so we all  hear it."by default then the flakes never get any of your attention - be it social, financial, romantic or favors."
