So there has been some progress, but probably the hardest part is yet to come.”

Then America in the '80s, when women were closing the pay gap. And Japan, same thing.”

“What hermeneutics teaches is that progress comes from being exposed to different points of views because there's no point of view that is right for all situations and all times. And even if it's superior to the others, you can enrich it by drawing on others or thinking: "Why is that wrong and how do I improve my approach? How do I come up with a better approach?" So that's essential for innovation just like it is in technology.”
