The goal of religious thinking is exactly the same as that of technological research -- namely, practical action.

New technology is useful, but it's inefficient and ugly; it knows it'll be obsolete by lunchtime tomorrow, so it has no incentive to be anything else. ↗

One machine can do the work of fifty ordinary men. No machine can do the work of one extraordinary man. ↗

I am excited about focusing full-time on talking about my job-creation agenda and building a new economy for Washington state. We have a great chance to seize our own destiny, build our own industries, and create our own technological revolutions right here at home. ↗
