In a hyper-connected world where average is over, there is one thing we know absolutely for sure: Every good job will require more education.

I was in Bangalore, India, the Silicon Valley of India, when I realized that the world was flat.

Basically all the world's computer parts come from the same supply chain that runs from Korea, down through coastal China, over to Taiwan, and down to Malaysia.

What every employer is looking for is not someone who can do the job, but someone who can reinvent the job.

No, most of our political elite has not realized that the world is flat.

I have a daughter who is a sophomore in college and another who is in the 11th grade of high school.

I said that more people in more places can now compete, connect and collaborate with equal power and equal tools than ever before.

In the future, how we educate our children may prove to be more important than how much we educate them.

The Dell Theory of Conflict Prevention argues that no two countries that are both part of the same global supply chain will ever fight a war as long as they are each part of that supply chain.

Your boss doesn't care what you know, because the Google machine knows everything. Your boss cares about what you can do with what you know. That's the only thing your boss will pay for.

Whoever has experienced near-death, knows how gracious, it is to be alive.

In the 4th Wave, you can't trust that people are still people. But you can trust that your gun is still your gun.

It takes time, or does time take it?

You know when I feel inwardly beautiful? When I am with my girlfriends and we are having a 'goddess circle'.

I have a friend who says the best boyfriends are ones with intimidating, good-looking older brothers. The boyfriends try harder because they're so insecure. Maybe I'm the female equivalent.

Some things that are true are not very useful.

There is an awful lot of work to do to protect trans folks. We are still disproportionally poor and administratively and institutionally discriminated against at all levels of society.

We have long struggles with ourself, of which the outcome is one of our actions; they are, as it were, the inner side of human nature. This inner side is God's; the outer side belongs to men.

When both my editors say 'This is really bad, you need to change this,' I ignore that at my peril.

Strength is a facade for the proud, weakness is a mask for the lazy.
