How can we think 100 years ahead, and is that enough? Well, it’s not enough, but it’s a fantastic start.

And economists who teach us to discount the future don’t see anything but money. They see nothing but money.

The important thing is to look at your children. I can’t tell you how many people spend huge amounts of time looking for the best preschool for their child, and they don’t spend five minutes trying to have a better world for the child when that child grows up. We have to be paying attention to what matters.
