“The visual, two-dimensional medium of TV and film are still the easiest and cheapest way to sell a story or share your vision with the world.

“There’s a reason the cable companies still exist: people are too lazy to hunt and kill their own content and, more important, the passive medium of television allows for maximum consumption with a minimum of effort.”

“Remember: to be truly ubiquitous a technology has to ruin our lives.

“The cellphone didn’t become ubiquitous until everyone around you saw the need to own a glowing slab of black metal.

“The Internet didn’t take off until everyone around you saw the need to play Farmville until they died.

“The television didn’t take off until everyone in the world realized it was infinitely better than reading.

“As it stands VR won’t ruin our lives. Instead it will just mildly amuse us until something better comes along.”

“Campaigning has always been about three variables. It’s always been about time, people, and money. These social media tools we’re leveraging have made it easier for us to spend less time organizing more people, and for less money,” he says. “But the reality is that none of those do well without a candidate who has a powerful message that gets people to engage. I’m honored and lucky to be working with a candidate who is the perfect one in that regard, because Bernie Sanders clearly has an authentic message that resonates.”

“What’s wrong with a life plan? When you plan your life, you make decisions for a future self based on the person you are today not the one you will become.”


“Live your life as a series of ruptures, because that is what changes you over time”


“We’re encouraged to discover our gifts and strengths and to hone them from a young age. If you were sporty, you joined the football team; if you always had your nose in a book, you studied literature. As you grow older, you cultivate these natural proclivities until they become part of your identity. But take this mindset too far, and you stop doing everything else.”


“It’s the small actions through which you conduct yourself that matter most in transforming yourself for the better”

“How Habitat for Humanity Went to Brooklyn and Poor Families Lost Their Homes

“The charity paid millions in federal stimulus funds to developers shortly after longtime tenants were pushed out.

“We are spending federal money to throw low-income New Yorkers out of buildings,” wrote a Habitat whistleblower.

“What our expensive cities need now is not upgrades to housing. They need more places where poor people can afford to live — and that calls for driving prices and rents down.”

“… Every startup founder that’s been slogging it out long enough will tell you “It never gets easier.” If you manage to truly find product market fit, maybe you’re no longer worrying about making rent; instead though, you’re worrying about how to negotiate a larger office, or how to fire your first employee, or how to sustain growth off an ever-increasing base, or how to make it home in time for dinner with your family.

“Starting a startup is fun. Sustaining a startup is grueling. Sure, there’s the off-chance you might sell, but that’s likely five to ten years out. In between, there’s countless sacrifices along the way. And if you’re among “the other 95%”, there’s all that same sacrifice only to ultimately wind down something you’ve put more into than potentially anything else in your life.

“Why on earth should anyone commit to this? Simple — because you can’t not do it. Because if you don’t, then who will? This reasoning is similar to the makings of great side projects. It’s not done for the fame, or the fortune, it’s done for the love of making something that might not exist without you.”
