More From Joichi Ito

When a scientist considers all high-tech mental machinery needed to arrange words into ordinary sentences, prescriptive rules are, at best, inconsequential little decorations. the very fact that they have to be drilled shows that they are alien to the natural workings of the language system. one can choose to obsess over prescriptive rules, but they have no more to do with language than the criteria for judging cats at a cat show have to do with mammalian biology.

Authority and power are two different things: power is the force by means of which you can oblige others to obey you. authority is the right to direct and command, to be listened to or obeyed by others. authority requests power. power without authority is tyranny.

A man who lives unrelated to other human beings dies. but a man who lives unrelated to himself also dies.

You can talk about things indirectly, but if you want to talk how people really talk, you have to talk r-rated. i mean i've got three incredibly intelligent daughters, but when you get mad, you get mad and you talk like people talk. when a normal 17-year-old girl storms out of the house or 15-year-old boy is mad at his mom or dad, they're not talking the way people talk on tv. unless it's cable.

I've always believed that everything that is said from authority is either the authority of one's own heart, one's own brain, one's own reading, one's own trust, but not the authority of someone who claims it because they're speaking for god and they know the truth because it's written in a book. that, essentially, is where i come from. in a sense, tolerance is my religion. reason is my religion.

There's a tendency at the senior and middle-manager level to be too big-picturish and too superficial. there is a phrase, "the devil is in the details." one can formulate brilliant global strategies whose executability is zero. it's only through familiarity with details - the capability of the individuals who have to execute, the marketplace, the timing - that a good strategy emerges. i like to work from details to big pictures.

The american people i talk to don't spend every moment thinking, 'how can i tax my neighbor more than they're being taxed?' they say, 'how can i get a good job? how can my kids get good jobs? how can seniors have a confidence in their future when they know that social security, medicare and medicaid are bankrupt?'
