A few days later he organised dinner with his cousin and wife who were visiting from Salt Lake City. Vincent the... See more
You need to experience firsthand the new powers that inflections confer on people. By interacting with that thing—by using it, experimenting with it, probing its powers—and by interacting with other people who are also living in the future, you begin cultivating new patterns of behavior, different from those that characterize the status quo.
