History is a series of mistakes. Now the task is to plan for those mistakes so those of us who are populists can actually take over the reins of power when the right mistakes are made.

There are some libertarians who are really anarchists, but others are more concerned about the distant relationship between themselves and power. They mistakenly think they want to get rid of government when instead they might just want to have greater access to power.

This is what's so hard about our current politics: things poll well, but people don't believe that politicians are telling the truth.

People think that the politician is just part of a system, and whether they're lying or not doesn't matter.

New York City is one of the most vulnerable cities in the world to climate change, so I see Keystone as the central threat to New York.

I think that most people have deeply creative sensibilities.

It's a lot harder to push forward things, like energy policy. There's a big dream out there about wind and solar power.
