More From Eric Ries

Quality doesn't mean deep blacks and whatever tonal range. that's not quality, that's a kind of quality. the pictures of robert frank might strike someone as being sloppy-the tone range isn't right and things like that-but they're far superior to the pictures of ansel adams with regard to quality, because the quality of ansel adams, if i may say so, is essentially the quality of a postcard. but the quality of robert frank is a quality that has something to do with what he's doing, what his mind is. it's not balancing out the sky to the sand and so forth. it's got to do with intention.

Real prosperity comes from everybody in the country working together in a growth mode. real prosperity comes as a result of people's own initiative and efforts and so forth. prosperity, if it comes from the government, is not prosperity. it's an existence or a subsistence or whatever, but it isn't prosperity.

Man holds these rights [life, liberty and property], not from the collective nor for the collective, but against the collective - as a barrier which the collective cannot cross... these rights are man's protection against all other men.

The main characteristic of collectivism is that it does not take notice of the individual's will and moral self-determination. in the light of its philosophy the individual is born into a collective and it is "natural" and proper for him to behave as members of this collective are expected to behave. expected by whom? of course, by those individuals to whom, by the mysterious decrees of some mysterious agency, the task of determining the collective will and directing the actions of the collective has been entrusted.

Our problem is that the climate crisis hatched in our laps at a moment in history when political and social conditions were uniquely hostile to a problem of this nature and magnitude-that moment being the tail end of the go-go '80s, the blastoff point for the crusade to spread deregulated capitalism around the world. climate change is a collective problem demanding collective action the likes of which humanity has never actually accomplished. yet it entered mainstream consciousness in the midst of an ideological war being waged on the very idea of the collective sphere.
