> A vice president once asked me how I was able to get effective change in large organizations when no amount of exhortation on the part of senior management had been successful. I pointed out to him that the people who resist the change the hardest are the ones who cannot see what their job would be post change. As a result the change is perceived as an existential risk to their own job and they will go to great lengths to sabotage the change because of that ... It is often possible to actually increase efficiency without laying anyone off ... because getting more done with the same people is often better than laying people off because of the latent effect of loosing institutional memory about things.

> Humans are toolmakers. We can’t run faster than a cheetah, jump higher than a kangaroo, or outfly a falcon, but we have invented tools that allow us to do all of those things and much, much more: unlock the energy hidden in atomic nuclei, instantly communicate across the globe, send robot emissaries beyond the Solar System, cure disease, and make super cool memes.
