in the long run

When the only thing that matters in the final analysis is how big you’re getting and how fast, which is what’s shown to produce these multibillion-dollar returns, what you get is a culture of looking the other way, of refusing to deal with what ought to be an affront to people.

I’m a skeptic and an optimist. I guess I should clarify that by skeptically, I don’t mean cynically. Both are Greek in origin. Cynical, in early English, denoted fault-finding, while skeptical means ‘to consider or examine’. I’m skeptical because I love pushing limits in order to understand how things really work. And I’m optimistic because, so far in my life, the unknown has revealed many wonderful possibilities.
