“We’re getting to the point where ghosts are real. The future is here, valuing magic and mystery over reality. Not only are we aware of the difference, but we’re at peace with it.”
Louis Rosenfeld in reference to this.
“The phone eats time; it makes us live the way people do inside a casino, dropping a blackout curtain over the windows to block out the world, except the blackout curtain is a screen, showing too much of the world, too quickly.”
“I wish I spent more time moving atoms and less time moving symbols. It is far more rewarding to make things with atoms than symbols. Atomic creations are the things to be most proud of. The symbols on the screens should help us move and produce more, rather than sit and consume more symbols.”

“Covey’s take was “an abundance mentality springs from internal security, not from external rankings, comparisons, opinion, possessions, or associations.” In my experience, that internal security overflows into their inner circle and wider community, believing that more for the people around them doesn’t equal less for them personally, but precisely the opposite — the more people succeed, the greater chance I will as well. Which fuels my desire to go on the offensive, helping my peers and strangers alike.”
“When you accept that the future’s security may not come only in the form of a steady ascent up a pay scale, something shifts. You may not quit your job, but you reorient your time and professional priorities around independent people and relationships, not prestigious companies or brands. You may adjust your lifestyle, outgoings, consumption patterns, and sources of meaning so that they aren’t so reliable on a certain compensation package. You see the value of expanding your abilities and skills beyond merely looking employable online.”
