Don’t interpret the world….just prevent it!
Posted on | June 20, 2007 | 1 Comment
Almost from Day 1 of the SSDN/Glow Project, I used the well-known and much-repeated mantra from Alan Kay:
“The best way to predict the future is to invent it.”
A recent sardonic twist from Kay on his own phrase chimes perfectly with some of the revisionist nonsense currently being paraded in the name of authority and expertise:
“The best way to predict the future is to prevent it.”
