We're not hunter-gatherers anymore. We're all living like patients in the intensive care unit of a hospital. What keeps us alive isn't bravery, or athleticism, or any of those other skills that were valuable in a caveman society. It's our ability to master complex technological skills. It is our ability to be nerds. We need to breed nerds.

Success breeds confidence.

Leaders do not conform; they reform. If you conform, you are nurturing mediocrity. If you reform, you are breeding change.
