Everybody, all politicians on Left and Right, agree that meritocracy is a great thing, and we should all be trying to make our societies really, really meritocratic. In other words -- what is a meritocratic society? A meritocratic society is one in which, if you've got talent and energy and skill, you will get to the top, nothing should hold you back. It's a beautiful idea.
现在,无论是左倾还是右倾的政治人物,都同意“功绩主义”是个好事。我们应该尽力让我们的社会崇尚“功绩主义”,换句话说,一个崇尚“功绩主义”的社会是什么样的呢?一个崇尚功绩主义的社会相信,如果你有才能、精力和技术,你就会飞黄腾达,没有什么能阻止你,这是个美好的想法。
谨记自己总会死去,是让自己避免陷入“人生有所失”思考的最佳方法。

音乐是我的灵魂,没有它我什么都不是。
技术并不重要。重要的是你对人有信心,认为他们本质上是善良和聪明的,如果你给他们工具,他们会做出美妙的事情。
