Neal Stephenson: Innovation Starvation →
Today’s belief in ineluctable certainty is the true innovation-killer of our age. In this environment, the best an audacious manager can do is to develop small improvements to existing systems—climbing the hill, as it were, toward a local maximum, trimming fat, eking out the occasional tiny innovation—like city planners painting bicycle lanes on the streets as a gesture toward solving our energy problems. 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.

“Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.” Steve Jobs’ inspiring speech about loving what you do, trusting your curiosity and intuition, the lightness of being a beginner, connecting the dots looking backward, thinking for yourself and remembering how little time you really have.
We will miss you Steve.

"All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident."
