“Consider the world we could live in if all of our local and global leaders, if all of our personal and professional friends and foes, recognized the defeasibility of their beliefs and acted accordingly. That sure sounds like progress to me. But of course I could be wrong.”
John Brockman, This Will Make You Smarter: New Scientific Concepts to Improve Your Thinking

George Monbiot
“I thought of walks in the English countryside, where people start shouting at you as soon as you stray from the footpath.”
George Monbiot, Feral: Rewilding the Land, the Sea, and Human Life

“There are many ways to achieve developer happiness, but making your core business products a playground for developers seeking novelty is the path to hell.”

“The fruits of labor are delicious, but individually they’re not particularly fattening. So don’t share yours, and munch on those of others whenever you can.”
Mohsin Hamid, How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia

“Kakonomics (from the Greek, the economics of the worst) describes cases wherein people not only have the standard preference for receiving high-quality goods and delivering low-quality goods (the standard sucker’s payoff) but actually prefer to deliver a low-quality product and receive a low-quality one: that is, they connive on a low-low exchange.”
John Brockman, This Will Make You Smarter: New Scientific Concepts to Improve Your Thinking
