“Constantly seek criticism. A well thought out critique of whatever you’re doing is as valuable as gold.”
Elon Musk

“I think it's very important to have a feedback loop, where you're constantly thinking about what you've done and how you could be doing it better.”
Elon Musk

Philip Glass
“The past is reinvented and becomes the future. But the lineage is everything.”
Philip Glass, Words Without Music: A Memoir

John A. Keel
“What is an obsession? It is a form of programming that has gotten completely out of hand. Religious fanatics are a prime example, as are those people who become enveloped in a political concept. Most of man’s progress has come about as a result of obsessions. The Wright brothers were not just tinkerers with an idea; their idea swallowed them up. Most leaders are obsessed with power or possessed by egos so large their only concern is their place in history. I have known writers obsessed with a single subject. Like Bobby Fischer and chess, anything and everything outside their subject seems meaningless. Any art form—music, painting, dance—is done best by those who are completely possessed by it. Such possession often borders on madness. This world would be a sorry place without such madmen.”
John A. Keel, THE EIGHTH TOWER: On Ultraterrestrials and the Superspectrum

Ashlee Vance
“There is a fundamental problem with regulators. If a regulator agrees to change a rule and something bad happens, they could easily lose their career. Whereas if they change a rule and something good happens, they don’t even get a reward. So, it’s very asymmetric. It’s then very easy to understand why regulators resist changing the rules. It’s because there’s a big punishment on one side and no reward on the other. How would any rational person behave in such a scenario?”
Ashlee Vance, Elon Musk: Inventing the Future
