I joined the board of the Santa Fe Institute.

The Net is not a single home. Rather, it's an environment where thousands of small homes and communities can form and define and design themselves.

From the business point of view—not to overstate it—intellectual property is dead; long live intellectual process. Long live service; long live performance.

Listening to other companies' customers is the best way to gain market share, while listening to the visionaries is the best way to create new markets.

I am not in favor of immortality. I believe death for humans is the way of getting rid of accumulated errors - as in trial and error. Without death, the old folks would start to gang up on the babies (the new trials). Immortality --> immortal mistakes.

No system in the world is so well-designed that it can't grow stale, rigid, or corrupted by those who benefit most from it.

We had made a - sort of a national decision that we wanted to be this intellectual property country, where we would have things manufactured in China, but we would do the design, we would do the creative stuff.And now what we have done is, we have forgotten that that's what we wanted, and we're making the intellectual stuff more and more free. And, so, we're sort of left with less and less.
