Play the game

 

 President-Elect Donald J. Trump

"I don't kid myself. Life is very fragile, and success doesn't change that. If anything, success makes it more fragile. Anything can change, without warning, and that's why I try not to take any of what's happened too seriously. Money was never a big motivation for me, except as a way to keep score. The real excitement is playing the game. I don't spend a lot of time worrying about what I should have done differently, or what's going to happen next. If you ask me exactly what the deals I'm about to describe all add up to in the end, I'm not sure I have a very good answer. Except that I've had a very good time making them"

Aldous Huxley's predictions

 


 

Aldous Huxley gives a TV interview in 1958. Notice his use of the word "devices". Of course he referred to radio and TV but if you think about computers, Internet and mobiles his words become downright premonitory.
