Kenneth E. Boulding
“Anyone who believes that exponential growth can go on forever in a finite world is either a madman or an economist.”
Kenneth Boulding

Susan Cain
“The purpose of school should be to prepare kids for the rest of their lives, but too often what kids need to be prepared for is surviving the school day itself.”
Susan Cain, Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking

Nassim Nicholas Taleb
“It has been more profitable for us to bind together in the wrong direction than to be alone in the right one. Those who have followed the assertive idiot rather than the introspective wise person have passed us some of their genes. This is apparent from a social pathology: psychopaths rally followers.”
Nassim Nicholas Taleb, The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable
