“The most valuable businesses of coming decades will be built by entrepreneurs who seek to empower people rather than try to make them obsolete.”
Peter Thiel, Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future

Nate Silver
“We need to stop, and admit it: we have a prediction problem. We love to predict things—and we aren’t very good at it.”
Nate Silver, The Signal and the Noise: Why So Many Predictions Fail-but Some Don't

“We cannot take for granted that the future will be better, and that means we need to work to create it today.”
Peter Thiel, Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future

Christian Rudder
“Sometimes, in the face of an infinity of alternatives, a straightforward result is all the more remarkable for being so.”
Christian Rudder, Dataclysm: Love, Sex, Race, and Identity--What Our Online Lives Tell Us about Our Offline Selves

“Anyone who has held an iDevice or a smoothly machined MacBook has felt the result of Steve Jobs’s obsession with visual and experiential perfection. But the most important lesson to learn from Jobs has nothing to do with aesthetics. The greatest thing Jobs designed was his business. Apple imagined and executed definite multi-year plans to create new products and distribute them effectively.”
Peter Thiel, Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future
