Don't walk in with a colonial mindset and say, "We know your problem and we're going to fix it."
Peter BuffettIt seems inevitable that you'd end up getting someone like Trump telling us all how important and amazing he is.
Peter BuffettI've seen women essentially martyr themselves for the good of the future and the good of their children and, again, the good of love. That shouldn't be happening but it shows you the strength and power of it, and the fact that it will take over a woman's sense of her own survival. Men have taken advantage of that for hundreds and probably thousands of years.
Peter BuffettWe don't know where our food comes from. We don't know a lot of things about what is happening financially. This creates the "power over" kind of feeling.
Peter BuffettPower over seems to be driving our very young species into a ditch because it's from an old competitive, "there may not be enough" kind of framework of scarcity. Power with is thinking abundantly as opposed to fearfully. Power with is hopefully where we're going - and where we need to go as a species in order to survive.
