Political Campaigning: Old & New
With 175,000 people projected to vote for Mayor of San Francisco in 2011, it’s likely that just 75,000 votes will decide the race.

“ What’s desperately needed in our society are companies that represent genuine progress, not just frantic change from one fashion to another.”
“ Science and vision are not opposites or even at odds. They need each other. I sometimes hear other startup folks say something along the lines of: “If entrepreneurship was a science, then anyone could do it.” I’d like to point out that even science is a science, and still very few people can do it, let alone do it well. Science requires vision, just as startups require vision. Building the right product requires systematically and relentlessly testing that vision to discover which elements of it are brilliant, and which are crazy.”
“ Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That’s because they were able to connect experiences they’ve had and synthesize new things. And the reason they were able to do that was that they’ve had more experiences or they have thought more about their experiences than other people.”
