Alan Kay Time Quotations

Social thinking requires very exacting thresholds to be powerful. For example, we've had social thinking for 200,000 years, and hardly anything happened that could be considered progress over most of that time. This is because what is most pervasive about social thinking is 'how to get along and mutually cope.'

If you don't fail at least 90 percent of the time, you're not aiming high enough.
