“Courage has become Raiders of the Lost Ark, or riding in spaceships, killing people, taking enormous physical risks. To me, the kind of courage that's really interesting is someone whose spouse has Alzheimer's and yet manages to wake up every morning and be cheerful with that person and respectful of that person and find things to enjoy even though their day is very, very difficult. That kind of courage is really undervalued in our culture.” PeopleKindPersonsCultureLostEnjoyDifficultInterestingMorningCourageRiskWake UpKillingEnormousManageRidingEvery MorningSpouseCheerfulRespectfulReally InterestingSpaceshipsAlzheimerArkAlzheimer'sRaidersUndervalued Author:Mary Pipher

“I tried to think about these two issues very freely. With sex, I think I can manage with that. With death, this is a more difficult theme for me. I'm not a believer, even though I'm baptized.

“Humans are incapable of securely storing high-quality cryptographic keys, and they have unacceptable speed and accuracy when performing cryptographic operations. (They are also large, expensive to maintain, difficult to manage, and they pollute the environment. It is astonishing that these devices continue to be manufactured and deployed. But they are sufficiently pervasive that we must design our protocols around their limitations.)” HumansDifficultQualityEnvironmentDesignKeysInternetSpeedManageLimitationOperationsPerformingExpensiveDevicesFree SpeechIncapableAstonishingAccuracyHigh QualityProtocol Author:Charlie Kaufman
