This is Derek Sivers' version of a quote based on the opening of a David Foster Wallace address* to the 2005 graduating class at Kenyon College:
This is a brilliant article. It focuses on health inequity, but applies quite well to to a wide range of things, including education, justice, housing, voting, finance, and governance. Here's my distillation of the message:
"...we must build a deeper understanding of racism as a system of advantage — otherwise our ... efforts are bound to simply remain diversity and inclusion projects."
Rudiger Dorbusch, a German economist who spent much of his career at MIT, famously said:
“Things always take longer to happen than you expect – but once they happen, events unfold more quickly than you’d ever have imagined.”
“In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”
(George Orwell)
