he says:
my life is... trying to have a connective tissue to everything that comes past me... -
some of what we believe about the world is wealth and health... and i believe in change
beaver pelts, shipping &rr's, oil, software, cell phones & sports teams
people make money in different things.... we're not in a static situation
nothing is quite what it seems
dibuka - 20th century art.
everything connects...
joke: everything is in walking distance if you have enough time
a joke - the opposite of expectation makes us laugh
a lot of innovation is the opposite of expectation
joke is very much like invention
very sensitive thing to be told you don't have a sense of humor
should be measured by soh (sense of humor) test, rather than iq test, people that can't pass, can't laugh about it...
is it in walking distance, keeping busy, how's it going,... - senseless questions
i care about words... an intense life of understanding. understanding proceeds any action..
if you don't understand, find that connective pattern,... that bridge
tv has brought worlds into his life
i can't forget things.. because everything i've learned that is interesting - i have connected to something in my mind
learning is remembering what you're interested in
what makes things happen.. what's the tail wagging the dog and the dog wagging the tail...what are the patterns that we think we can't live without and are always going to be here.... nothing
everything will change
don't depend on the currency of your lives to make a pattern for the rest of your lives
that change and that acceptance of change is very exciting (agreed - )
first book at 26 and at least one a year after that.
if something really interests you -
just follow it...
don't wait for anybody ...
anything that seems like a dumb idea.. you can get it done.nobody asks me to do anything...
i'm just trying to fill my plate with the things i don't understand
i'm powerful than anyone else in the room - because i more embrace my stupidity than anyone else..
impressing each other is how you make a mark...
what a false path - to try to impress somebody with your intelligence
we are all so stupid.. we know nothing.. only in the acceptance of our ignorance.. that nothingness..
understanding what it's like not to understand - is the basis of beginning
if i know to begin with it's not curious, it's not fun
it's the excitement of not knowing that keeps me moving
cool - his company is working on urban observatories - live museums
tedmed.com - health and well being is the future
page turner on ipad is not embracing it's new modality.. it's not a book
when you start a project.. great question is -
what's the fundamental way in?
what's the best way to organize things...
some things by alphabet, some by location, some by biggest to smallest.....
