Quote for the Day

Any strategy that involves crossing a valley—accepting short-term losses to reach a higher hill in the distance—will soon be brought to a halt by the demands of a system that celebrates short-term gains and tolerates stagnation, but condemns anything else as failure. In short, a world where big stuff can never get done.

–Neal Stephenson, “Innovation Starvation,” World Policy Journal, Fall 2011
