Book cover for Winners Take All: The Elite Charade of Changing the World
For when elites assume leadership of social change, they are able to reshape what social change is—above all, to present it as something that should never threaten winners.

C.S. Lewis
“If we promoted justice and charity among men, we should be playing directly into the Enemy's hands; but if we guide them to the opposite behaviour, this sooner or later produces (for He permits it to produce) a war or a revolution, and the undisguisable issue of cowardice or courage awakes thousands of men from moral stupor. This, indeed, is probably one of the Enemy's motives for creating a dangerous world—a world in which moral issues really come to the point. He sees as well as you do that courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point, which means, at the point of highest reality. A chastity or honesty, or mercy, which yields to danger will be chaste or honest or merciful only on conditions.”
C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters

William  James
“Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.”
William James

Richard Rorty
“A talent for speaking differently, rather than for arguing
well, is the chief instrument of cultural change.”
Richard Rorty

Michael Jr.
“Laughter is a tangible evidence of hope.”
Michael Jr.

“Most people don’t realize that when they use doubtful phrases they are setting standards for themselves. These standards become expectations and in the end will become self-fulfilling prophecies.”
