Kindle Notes & Highlights
We are morphing so fast that our ability to invent new things outpaces the rate we can civilize them.
Banning the inevitable usually backfires. Prohibition is at best temporary, and in the long run counterproductive.
Get the ongoing process right and it will keep generating ongoing benefits. In our new era, processes trump products.
Technological life in the future will be a series of endless upgrades.
