More quotes by Kevin Kelly
Softball isn't just a game it's away of life.
Kevin Kelly
We tend to think of the mind of an organization residing in the CEO and the organization's top managers, perhaps with the help of outside consultants that they call in. But that is not really how an organization thinks.
Kevin Kelly
Organizations get invested into a particular product. And sometimes the best thing is to stop making that product, even though it's profitable, because it has optimized at a local peak.
Kevin Kelly
The organization and the environment are in concert.
Kevin Kelly
In the context of your dreams,knowledge will always gives you enough reasons not to act. Act regardless and execute xceptionally
Kevin Kelly
When a system is in turbulence, the turbulence is not just out there in the environment, but is a part of the organization or organism that you are looking at.
Kevin Kelly
It's more along the lines of raising a child: we train the system to a certain range of behaviors that we find most useful. But then we let it go, because we don't want to have to be babysitting it the whole time.

I work in a you scratch my back, and I'll stab yours kind of a place.

Evolution doesn't care about what makes sense it cares about what works
Kevin Kelly
Technology is anything that was invented after you were born.
Kevin Kelly
Nobody is as smart as everybody.
Kevin Kelly
A single thread of self generation ties the cosmos, the bios, and the technos together into one creation. Humans are not the culmination of this trajectory but an intermediary, smack in the middle between the born and the made... The arc of complexity and open-ended creation in the last four billion years is nothing compared to what lies ahead.
Kevin Kelly
The way to build a complex system that works is to build it from very simple systems that work.
Kevin Kelly
Everything that we are making, we are making more and more complex.
Kevin Kelly
Clearly, we are self-made. We are the first technology. We are part inventor and part the invented
Kevin Kelly
What technology is really about is better ways to evolve. That is what we call an 'infinite game.' ... A finite game is played to win, and an infinite game is played to keep playing.
Kevin Kelly
Why fear feedback? Why stigmatize failure in the workplace when it's bringing you closer to achieving your organizational goals.
Kevin Kelly
This is actually a very important principle that science is learning about large systems like evolution and that futurists are learning about anticipating human society: just because a future scenario is plausible doesn't mean we can get there from here.
Kevin Kelly
