Brains are like representative democracies. They are built of multiple, overlapping experts who weigh in and compete over different choices.
There are two kinds of experts: academic experts and practical experts. One is not better than the other, but they are very different, and each offers very different value.
The duty of a politician for me is to be a representative: a politician is not an expert, experts are experts, hired for their expertise and so on.
Landscape consists in the multiple, overlapping intricacies and forms that exist in a given space at a moment in time.
I like to compete in everything - I like to compete in jiu-jitsu, I like to compete in wrestling and Muay Thai, and if I have a chance to compete in boxing one day, why not?
Brains, like cabbages, are beautiful-but in a different way. Cabbage heads are dumb and sterile, whereas brains are personal, intelligent and vibrant.
Remind your critics when they say you don't have the expertise or experience to do something that an amateur built the ark and the experts built the Titanic
I am not a Somali representative. I am not a Muslim representative. I am not a millennial representative. I am not a woman representative. I am a representative who happens to have all of these marginalized identities and can understand the intersectionality of all of them in a very unique way.
Flexibility comes from having multiple choices; wisdom comes from having multiple perspectives.
We have only one Windows. We don't have multiple Windows. They run across multiple form factors, but it's one developer platform, one store, one tool chain for developers. And you adapt it for different screen sizes and different input and output.
We humans are different - our brains are built not to fix memories in stone but rather to transform them, our recollections in their retelling.
I've said multiple times, over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again that I want to play for one team my whole career.
But I love to feel events overlapping each other, crawling over one another like wet crabs in a basket
I tend to use different microphones, different mic techniques, and different recording mediums - like analogue tape - that evoke multiple eras of recorded music at the same time.
The stakes are geopolitical in nature and I believe that democracies are - people want to live in free societies, democracies are the best way to do that, and that if people see democracies in the neighborhood, they'll demand the same thing.
We humans are really good at forming groups to compete, and then dissolving the groups and reforming them along different lines to compete in a different way.
I know in my heart that I can compete at multiple weights.
