Notes
- Erich Fromm, writing in 1942, explained how the psychology of being a ‘senseless cog’ proved fertile soil for the rise of Fascism in Germany, Italy and elsewhere in Europe.
- Or as Jack Welch, former CEO of General Electric, put it: ‘Control your destiny or someone else will!’
- My central purpose in writing this book is to give people the ability to notice signals and thereby proceed into the future with a greater sense of the context that will influence any individual choices that we might make.
- Whenever the majority of the population seeks to pursue the same idea at the same time, it usually ends in tears.
