- Poses the hypothesis that "Life is short"

- Proposes an 'objective' basis for this feeling: some of his most meaningful life events happen 8 or less times

- Transitions that the shortness of life justifies avoiding "bullshit," while acknowledging that's a loaded term.

- Proposes examples of "bullshit," traffic jams, unnecessary meetings, bureaucracy, and arguing online.

- Suggests arguing online is an example of a habit that is addictive, yet bullshit.

- Defines bullshit as things that won't matter to you in the future upon reflection.

- Proposes ways to avoid bullshit

- Proposes a way to savor time

Analysis:

- I'm not sold on the metric of measuring something by how much we value it upon reflection.

- I don't think the premise "Life is short" needs to be established to justify "avoid bullshit."

- The argument is fairly loose in that 99.9% of our lives are bullshit by his definition. Is 99% of sex bullshit?

Interesting piece, smarter than your average bear.
