Words are humanity's greatest natural resource, but most of us have trouble figuring out how to put them together. words aren't cheap. they are very precious. they are like water, which gives life and growth and refreshment, but because it has always been abundant, we treat it cheaply. we waste it; we pollute it, and doctor it. later we blame the quality of the water because we have misused it.

Words Are Humanity's Greatest Natural Resource, But

Katherine Paterson
Words are humanity's greatest natural resource, but most of us have trouble figuring out how to put them together. words aren't cheap. they are very precious. they are like water, which gives life and growth and refreshment, but because it has always been abundant, we treat it cheaply. we waste it; we pollute it, and doctor it. later we blame the quality of the water because we have misused it.

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.

We are entering a hyperconnected world where every boss now has more access, cheap access to cheap labor, cheap genius, cheap robot, cheap software, and then this world averages over. there is only one answer to that, and that is to get everyone as close as possible to some form of post-secondary education, it could be vocational, it can be liberal arts, it can be science and technology.

The paleolithic hunters who painted the unsurpassed animal murals on the ceiling of the cave at altamira had only rudimentary tools. art is older than production for use, and play older than work. man was shaped less by what he had to do than by what he did in playful moments. it is the child in man that is the source of his uniqueness and creativeness, and the playground is the optimal milieu for the unfolding of his capacities.

But take the russia issue. you open up the convention, and you have got a report that the democratic party has been hacked by the russians, e-mails, the e-mails of the democratic party, which is a headline and words that you don't want, if you're hillary clinton's campaign.and donald trump immediately takes the story and basically steps on the advantage he has and say, well, the russians, who am i to tell [vladimir] putin? you know, the russians ought to come in and continue to hack our - and find out where the e-mails are.

Indeed, when all parties campaign effectively the overall effect is to push up voting rates, as you see in tight marginal seats or close general elections. that must be good for democracy.
