A Quote by Freeman Dyson

Committees do harm merely by existing. — © Freeman Dyson
Committees do harm merely by existing.
Existing antitrust law in the United States addresses mainly the harm from price gouging, not the other kinds of harm caused by these platforms, such as stifling innovation and undermining the institutions of democracy.
All this care for the world, we must believe, is taken by the Gods without any act of will or labor. As bodies which possess some power produce their effects by merely existing: e.g. the sun gives light and heat by merely existing; so, and far more so, the providence of the Gods acts without effort to itself and for the good of the objects of its forethought. This solves the problems of the Epicureans , who argue that what is divine neither has trouble itself nor gives trouble to others.

With respect to Committees as you would perceive I am very jealous of their formation. I mean working committees. I think business is always better done by few than by many.
We do not need committees but we need commitment. The nation is already reeling under the burden of several committees formed in the last decade.
Not even computers will replace committees, because committees buy computers.
A life without passion is not living, it's merely existing
Life consists not merely in existing, but in enjoying health.
The Negro's so-called 'revolt' is merely an asking to be accepted into the existing system!
When you are fully present, you are truly living; the rest of the time, you are merely existing
Government likes committees... a lot. Committees kill all the really good ideas and generally all the really bad ideas. They produce middle-ground mush.
Ultimately, what any company does when it is successful is merely a lagging indicator of its existing culture.
To merely observe your culture without contributing to it seems very close to existing as a ghost.
Whatever harm the evil may do, the harm done by the good is the most harmful harm.
