One thing we have lost, that we had in the past, is a sense of progress, that things are getting better. There is a sense of volatility, but not of progress.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We have not recovered all that we lost in the Bush recession. That's why we need to continue to move forward.
We're at maybe 1% of what is possible. Despite the faster change, we're still moving slow relative to the opportunities we have. I think a lot of that is because of the negativity... Every story I read is Google vs someone else. That's boring. We should be focusing on building the things that don't exist.
When you begin to think about the past, you realize how much of it is lost to us.
We're constantly losing - we're losing time, we're losing ourselves. I don't feel for the things I lost.
We live in a pretty bleak time. I feel that in the air. Everything is uncertain. Everything feels like its on the precipice of some major transformation, whether we like it or not.
I think people generally are lost, as they keep thinking about what is going to happen and what they have done. They are not alive anymore. The art of listening is missing. In their head, they are doing something else.
When all else is lost, the future still remains.
Loss is nothing else but change, and change is Nature's delight.
We live in a moment of history where change is so speeded up that we begin to see the present only when it is already disappearing.
Since the Renaissance, a concept called 'progress' has been baked into our society. Progress - founded on an accumulation of knowledge through experience (and in the case of science, through experiment). To build on the past rather than endlessly relive it. That's what separates us from the beasts.
