One of the things that is very silly - and I hear from educators all the time - is that schools essentially teach kids to learn. They don't need school for that. Learning is what they do best.

People are responsible adults at home. Why do we suddenly transform them into adolescents with no freedom when they reach the workplace?

In life, we do not give employees enough leeway. If you look around Semco's office, there are plenty of empty desks. The question is - where are these people? I do not have the slightest idea, but I am not interested.

Money has always been a particular problem for revolutionaries and anti-capitalists. What will money look like 'after the revolution'? How will it function? Will it exist at all?

It's crazy to go into manufacturing. That's not where the money is.

Money can't buy you happiness, but it can buy you a yacht big enough to pull up right alongside it.

Don't run after shows and money.
