“Here is a young president, prepared to allow himself to be portrayed as “weak” or “dithering” in the slow and meticulous arrival at public policy. He is trusting the reality to help expose what we need to do. He is allowing the debate - however messy and confusing and emotional - to take its time and reveal the real choices in front of us.”

“TELLER: Right. So, yeah, we split the plutonium atom I guess. And make a weapon out of it. BETHE: When is this due anyway? TELLER: I think tomorrow. BETHE: What?!?! TELLER: I know, right? I mean we shouldn’t have put it off, but … still sucks. BETHE: I have another class with one of the Soviets, and he says theirs isn’t due until 1949. TELLER: 1949?!?! BETHE: I know, right? TELLER: I knew we took the wrong section. And no wonder the Russkies were out last night.”

“One year ago, hopes were raised for the first time in decades when it was discovered that all the incidents up until that point had been the work of a sinister globe-spanning conspiracy of religious fanatics who, inspired by the term “God Particle”, had decided that no one could ever be allowed to look upon the hypothetical Higgs boson. This discovery was widely considered to have undermined the theory that Nature abhors a sufficiently powerful particle collider.”

“So basically, I said, your cocktail party is open to the public, and you don’t even know who’s in your house. You claim to “follow” your guests, but when someone later says, “Hey, you’re using the same ideas I told you at the party,” you reply, “Dude, I didn’t even know you were there.” How is that social media?”

“Much more important than working hard is knowing how to find the right thing to work on. Paying attention to what is going on in the world. Seeing patterns. Seeing things as they are rather than how you want them to be. Being able to read what people want. Putting yourself in the right place where information is flowing freely and interesting new juxtapositions can be seen. But you can save yourself a lot of time by working on the right thing. Working hard, even, if that’s what you like to do.”

“You stumble in on the Inuit Mafia torturing an unknown person. They offer to let the person go if you are able to eat one hundred Klondike bars. If you fail, they will torture you instead. You believe you are able to accomplish this feat; however it is possible that they will take advantage of your sugar-induced stupor to either capture you or renege on their offer. What would you do-o-o?”
