We start from the presumption that our people are talented and want to contribute. We accept that, without meaning to, our company is stifling that talent in myriad unseen ways. Finally, we try to identify those impediments and fix them. — Pixar

They copied all they could follow 
but they couldn't copy my mind
so I left them sweating and stealing
a year and a half behind.

Technology has far surpassed our ability to use it.  By 2014 all music ever produced could fit on an ipod, by 2016 there will be 80 years of video.  It comes down to our ability to utilize the platforms and form companies and tribes and groups of people to use the technology.

poem

We are the Music Makers
We are the music-makers, 
And we are the dreamers of dreams, 
Wandering by lone sea-breakers, 
And sitting by desolate streams. 
World-losers and world-forsakers, 
Upon whom the pale moon gleams; 
Yet we are the movers and shakers, 
Of the world forever, it seems.

With wonderful deathless ditties 
We build up the world's great cities, 
And out of a fabulous story 
We fashion an empire's glory: 
One man with a dream, at pleasure, 
Shall go forth and conquer a crown; 
And three with a new song's measure 
Can trample an empire down.

We, in the ages lying 
In the buried past of the earth, 
Built Nineveh with our sighing, 
And Babel itself with our mirth; 
And o'erthrew them with prophesying 
To the old of the new world's worth; 
For each age is a dream that is dying, 
Or one that is coming to birth.

- William Edgar O'Shaughnessy

1. This is worthless nonsense.

2. This is an interesting, but perverse, point of view.

3. This is true, but quite unimportant.

4. I always said so. — JBS Haldane’s four stages of acceptance of a scientific fact.
