“Education, government, health care, and science are increasingly driven by the philosophies of financial maximization. Institutions that had previously been focused on a range of outcomes—knowledge, service, care, discovery—are increasingly measured by just one: money.”
Yancey Strickler, This Could Be Our Future: A Manifesto for a More Generous World

“the technology behind every part of the iPhone—from the touch screen to 3G wireless to GPS to the internet itself—was directly funded by the US government. Apple brilliantly commercialized the technology, but the work behind the iPhone was created by academic researchers funded by federal investments. The work goes back decades. After the Second World War, the United States began investing heavily in research in science, technology, medicine, and other fields through the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA. This agency is in charge of identifying and funding technologies that could provide military and domestic benefits.”
Yancey Strickler, This Could Be Our Future: A Manifesto for a More Generous World

“The goal is a world where values like community, knowledge, purpose, fairness, security, tradition, and the needs of the future also have a rational say in the big and daily decisions we face. Not just whichever choice makes the most money.”
Yancey Strickler, This Could Be Our Future: A Manifesto for a More Generous World
