Quotes

Acceleration requires adaptation.
I really am going to die, so I need to live.
Traditionally, life has been divided into two main parts: a period of learning followed by a period of working. Very soon, this traditional model will become utterly obsolete, and the only way for humans to stay in the game will be to keep learning throughout their lives and to reinvent themselves repeatedly.—Yuval Noah Harari

Exercise

Think back through your life, and ask yourself the following questions:

  • Where have you invented?
  • Where have you already reinvented?
  • Where have you reinvented reactively?
