I'm always very excited about trying to do something on next-generation biotechnology and life sciences because I think if we can cure cancer or dementia, we can really make the future a lot better and I think these things are eminently doable.

We cannot take for granted that the future will be better, and that means we need to work to create it today.

Today's 'best practices' lead to dead ends; the best paths are new and untried.

Probably the most extreme form of inequality is between people who are alive and people who are dead.

Under perfect competition, in the long run no company makes an economic profit.

Rivalry causes us to overemphasize old opportunities and slavishly copy what has worked in the past.

It's a horribly mismanaged company-probably a lot of pot smoking going on there.
