Max Porter
“Which do you think is more patient, an idea or a hope?”
Max Porter, Lanny

Tom Golway
“The increased velocity of technological change is introducing questions that were not relevant 10 years ago, and which we have no clear answers. More importantly we are faced with the realization that we will be challenged to find answers to questions we have yet to consider.

Approaching the undiscovered requires a more comprehensive approach, one that is multi-discipline with an emphasis on critical thinking around abstract concepts. One that builds on current measurable knowledge, without being restrained by it. One that leverages the Humanities and encourages abstract thinking so we avoid being overly reliant on our current perception of what is considered baseline knowledge.”
Tom Golway
