“...a very terrifying aspect of our society, and other societies, is the equanimity and the detachment with which sane, reasonable, sensible people can observe [war and human suffering]. I think that's more terrifying than the occasional Hitler ...or other that crop up - these people would not able to operate were it not for this apathy and equanimity - and therefore I think that it is in some sense the sane and reasonable and tolerant people who should share a very serious burden of guilt, that they very easily throw on the shoulders of others who seem more extreme and more violent.” PeopleThinkingShouldHumansWarSeemsAbleSufferingShareSeriousAspectGuiltBurdenExtremesViolentShouldersReasonableOur SocietySensibleApathySaneDetachmentOccasionalCropsEquanimityHuman Suffering Author:Noam Chomsky

“In science, the whole system builds on people looking at other people's results and building on top of them. In witchcraft, somebody had a small secret and guarded it - but never allowed others to really understand it and build on it. Traditional software is like witchcraft. In history, witchcraft just died out. The same will happen in software. When problems get serious enough, you can't have one person or one company guarding their secrets. You have to have everybody share in the knowledge.” PeoplePersonsEnoughWholeProblemHappensResultsSecretCompanyShareBuildingSeriousDiedTraditionalSoftwareWitchcraftGuardedGuarding Author:Linus Torvalds
“The U.S. and, to a certain extent, countries in Europe as well, have experienced growing inequality within their population for decades - a small group of people own the lion's share of the wealth. Populists take advantage of this, and their policies are extremely hard to predict. And this has serious consequences. Companies shy away from risk, postponing their investment decisions in times of uncertainty, the stock markets get nervous and unemployment threatens to increase.” PeopleWellsCountryHardCertainWealthDecisionCompanyGrowingRiskGroupsSharePolicySeriousConsequenceEuropeAdvantageIncreaseInvestmentPopulationDecadesNervousInequalityUncertaintyShyLionsUnemploymentSmall GroupsPopulistPostponing Author:Nicholas Bloom
