From his blog: I struggle with this every day: being surrounded by a culture of 'tightly wrapped potential.' From the book, The Think Big Manifesto, by Michael Port. Link
"Scary? Why? Because the small thinking powers-that-be do not want us to think big—and they definitely do not want us to act on our big thoughts. They want us to be tame and predictable, hooked up to the IV of television and shopping, living in our comfortable-life comas. Life is so much easier that way. The citizens (that means us) are tame. The corporations and politicians do what they want. The few can control the many. Is that what you want?"
