A funny thing happens when you start writing about a particular theme or topic: People expect that you are an expert on it. It’s usually the opposite. I frequently start writing about things because I don’t know anything about them, or it’s a concept or question that I need to figure out for myself.

As Mumford observed almost a century ago, the world loses its soul when we place too much weight on the ideal of total quantification. By doing so, we stop valuing what we know to be true, but can’t articulate. Rituals lose their significance, possessions lose their meaning, and things are valued only for their apparent utility.

In the physical world, great buildings are linked to their architect while those who had poured the concrete or installed the windows are soon forgotten. Berkshire has become a great company. Though I have long been in charge of the construction crew; Charlie should forever be credited with being the architect.
