This is actually a very important principle that science is learning about large systems like evolution and that futurists are learning about anticipating human society: just because a future scenario is plausible doesn't mean we can get there from here.

The way to build a complex system that works is to build it from very simple systems that work.

An organization's intelligence is distributed to the point of being ubiquitous.

Evolution doesn't care about what makes sense; it cares about what works

We are reaching deep within ourselves to adjust the master knob.

Softball isn't just a game it's away of life.
