Scrum Scale Quotes

“There seems almost a shared society-wide delusion at play where we all accept that wasted effort is just a fact of life.

And that is fine.

Or rather, it would be fine if we had already conquered hunger in the world.

Or if half of the world’s children would not live in poverty.

Or had we become a multi-planetary species, protecting us from a planetary catastrophe.

But we have not.

Quite the opposite, our species is actually threatened from several quarters, yet we insist on having some of our best people waste their lives LARPing instead of contributing.”
