“Choose one thing and become a master of it. Choose a second thing and become a master of that. When you become a master of two worlds, say, engineering and business, you can bring them together in a way that will a) introduce hot ideas to each other, so they can have idea sex and make idea babies that no one has seen before and b) create a competitive advantage because you can move between worlds, speak both languages, connect the tribes, mash the elements to spark fresh creative insight until you wake up with the epiphany that changes your life.” WorldWayTwoIdeasTogetherMovingSpeakLanguageSexCreativeOne ThingMastersBabyElementsAdvantageWake UpHotInsightSparksEngineeringIntroducingTribesChanging Your LifeEpiphanyTwo WorldsCompetitive Advantage Author:Justine Musk

“In 1974 I nearly got into a fistfight with some early academic feminists in a restaurant when I casually alluded to a hormonal element in sex differences. It was utterly unacceptable at that time to think or say such a thing... If you have any doubts about the effect of hormones on emotion, libido and aggression, have a chat with a transexual, who must take hormones medically. He or she will set you straight.” IfsThinkingSexDifferencesEmotionDoubtEffectsElementsFeministRestaurantsAcademicAggressionHormonesTime To ThinkLibidoSex Differences Author:Camille Paglia

“It's to a writer's advantage to contain within himself elements of each sex, or any sex. It's to his advantage because it makes him able to write from the female point of view as well as the male. In some cases, of course, you will find some homosexual writers who can only write from a f - - -'s point of view. But I don't regard myself as a f - - -! Some people may.
