The current understanding was that it was impossible to predict how something would evolve because it was a very turbulent environment full of things interacting with each other. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
One of the functions of an organization, of any organism, is to anticipate the future, so that those relationships can persist over time. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by 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
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
Since it is the last scarcity, wherever attention flows, money will follow. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
But when you are embodied in a location, in a physical plant, in a set of people, and in a common history, that constrains your evolution and your ability to evolve in certain directions. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
The organization and the environment are in concert. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly

Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
Humans are the reproductive organs of technology. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
the journey of going from 'I' to 'We'. "When two indigenous Quechuans meet sixteen thousand feet atop a mountain in Peru for the first time, often they set a challenge. Let's say the challenge is a race. In their society, whoever wins the race is duty bound to coach the loser until he has attained a similar competency. In return, the loser teaches the victor a new skill. This interdependence helps both people. Both win, as does society. Ayni, the art of reciprocation, ensures that their society as a whole grows together. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
Paranoia is acceptable in the new friendship paradigm. Worrying that your best employees or customers might leave is ok, as long as you put in place an active strategy to offset any possibility of that scenario. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
You'll always have enough reasons not to execute, not to do: not enough time, not enough money, not enough will or skill.But what matters isn't what you lack. What matters isn't your idea but what you do with it. What will you do? ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
Our existence here, he says, is a case of "not we the accidental but we the expected." Mathematician Manfred Eigen wrote in 1971, "The evolution of life, if it is based on a derivable physical principle, must be considered an inevitable process. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
Simple machines can be efficient, but complex adaptive machinery cannot be. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
The accretion of tiny marvels can numb us to the arrival of the stupendous. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
In an information-rich world, the wealth of information means a dearth of something else: a scarcity of whatever it is that information consumes. What information consumes is rather obvious: it consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention." Simon's insight is often reduced to "In a world of abundance, the only scarcity is human attention." Our ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
The new OS is neither the classic communism of centralized planning without private property nor the undiluted selfish chaos of a free market. Instead, it is an emerging design space in which decentralized public coordination can solve problems and create things that neither pure communism nor pure capitalism can. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
Every year I own less of what I use. Possession ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
Everything that we are making, we are making more and more complex. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
Technology is anything that was invented after you were born. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
Writing in Library Journal, Ben Vershbow of the Institute for the Future of Book envisioned a digital ecology in which "parts of books will reference parts of other books. Books will be woven toghether out of components in remote databases and servers." Kevin Kelly wrote in The New York times Magagzine: "In the the new world of books, every bit informs another; every page reads all the other pages. ~ Jeff Jarvis
Kevin Kelly quotes by Jeff Jarvis
The way that organizations and organisms anticipate the future is by taking signals from the past, most the time. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
Productivity is for robots. What humans are going to be really good at is asking questions, being creative, and experiences." Kevin Kelly ~ Timothy Ferriss
Kevin Kelly quotes by Timothy Ferriss
Questioning is simply more powerful than answering. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
Singularity is the point at which "all the change in the last million years will be superseded by the change in the next five minutes." ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
Every self is an argument trying to prove its identity ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
What is clearly happening inside this glass capsule is happening less clearly at a great scale on Earth in the closing years of this millennium. The realm of the born - all that is nature - and the realm of the made - all that is humanly constructed - are becoming one. Machines are becoming biological and the biological is becoming engineered. That's banking on some ancient ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by 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
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
Books were good at developing a contemplative mind. Screens encourage more utilitarian thinking. A ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
For better or worse, our lives are accelerating, and the only speed fast enough is instant. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
Yet the paradox of science is that every answer breeds at least two new questions. More tools, more answers, ever more questions. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
We're just at the beginning of the beginning of all these kind of changes. There's a sense that all the big things have happened, but relatively speaking, nothing big has happened yet. In 20 years from now we'll look back and say, 'Well, nothing really happened in the last 20 years.' ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
The daily grinding of evolution, as accelerated by technology, churns out more and more complex organisms, with higher rates of energy use, and with increasing specialization. Minds are the ideal way to express complexity, energy density, increasing specialization, expanding diversity
all in one system. Mindedness is what evolution produces. Mindedness is what technology wants, too. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
Life is the ultimate technology. Machine technology is a temporary surrogate for life technology. As we improve our machines they will become more organic, more biological, more like life, because life is the best technology for living. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
Managers tend to treat organizations as if they are infinitely plastic. They hire and fire, merge, downsize, terminate programs, add capacities. But there are limits to the shifts that organizations can absorb. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
Entrepreneurship is about freedom, financial freedom but it also about what you leave behind.
Guibert Englebienne, Co-founder of Globant ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by 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
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
Get the ongoing process right and it will keep generating ongoing benefits. In our new era, processes trump products. This ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
Death is the only teacher in evolution ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
Complexity that works is built up out of modules that work perfectly, layered one over the other. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
An organization is a set of relationships that are persistent over time. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly, let The Rock answer your question with a question of his own: Are you mentally, as well as physically prepared to tickle the anus of a monkey? ~ Dwayne Johnson
Kevin Kelly quotes by Dwayne Johnson
The nature of emergent technology is, as Kevin Kelly once said, right out of control. It's an element of human evolution that's completely out of control. It's sort of driving itself, and I don't see it ceasing to do that. ~ William Gibson
Kevin Kelly quotes by William Gibson
Tim believes that entrepreneurship isn't based on an idea or a plan, or even a model - it is based on having a strong competency in something. The way to overcome fear, he claims, is by testing your competency. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
It is easy to make a dollar but it is hard to make a difference. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
The most certain thing you can say about the environment tomorrow is that it probably is going to be just like today, for the most part. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
Wherever the Net arises, there arises also a rebel to resist human control ... A network nurtures small failures in order that large failures don't happen as often. It is ... fertile ground for learning, adaptation, and evolution ... The only organization capable of unprejudiced growth, or unguided learning, is a network. All other topologies limit what can happen. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
But in fact, when you try to model that on a computer you find that because of the very structure of matter and of the chemical bonds that are the basis of every organism, evolution is not random at all. It will tend to follow certain paths. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
There is nothing to be found in a beehive that is not submerged in a bee. And yet you can search a bee forever with cyclotron and fluoroscope, and you will never find the hive. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by 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
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
Why do you ask The Rock stupid questions? Why are you an ugly hermaphrodite? Nobody knows, Kevin Kelly. ~ Dwayne Johnson
Kevin Kelly quotes by Dwayne Johnson
So I now see upgrading as a type of hygiene: You do it regularly to keep your tech healthy. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
I always point people to the article '1,000 True Fans' by Kevin Kelly. If you choose your thousand ideal customers or readers properly and find the single author blog that targets that audience, you never have to do any more marketing. You're done. That is a lesson that very few product developers and marketers have learned, and it's unfortunate. ~ Tim Ferriss
Kevin Kelly quotes by Tim Ferriss
Organisms by their design are not made to adapt too far. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
The challenge for the entrepreneur is to find your passion and make fear history. ~ Kevin Kelly DO The Pursuit Of Xcdeptional Execution
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly DO The Pursuit Of Xcdeptional Execution
Managing bottom-up change is its own art. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
Much of outcomes research is a systematic attempt to exploit what is known and make it better. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
Species go extinct because there are historical contraints built into a given body or a given design. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
Long ago I learned that even the most inanimate things we know of - stone, iron columns, copper pipes, gravel roads, a piece of paper - won't last very long without attention and fixing and the loan of additional order. Existence, it seems, is chiefly maintenance. What ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
The system continually has to make this choice: it can either continue to exploit a known process and make it more productive, or it can explore a new process at the cost of being less efficient. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
This is the culmination of a lot of people's vision. I think this is just another step towards making Central Michigan football among the elite programs in the Mid-American Conference. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
Extrapolated, technology wants what life wants:
Increasing efficiency
Increasing opportunity
Increasing emergence
Increasing complexity
Increasing diversity
Increasing specialization
Increasing ubiquity
Increasing freedom
Increasing mutualism
Increasing beauty
Increasing sentience
Increasing structure
Increasing evolvability ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
This is not a race against the machines. If we race against them, we lose. This is a race with the machines. You'll be paid in the future based on how well you work with robots. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
Softball isn't just a game it's away of life. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
An organization's reason for being, like that of any organism, is to help the parts that are in relationship to each other, to be able to deal with change in the environment. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
An organization's intelligence is distributed to the point of being ubiquitous. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
The approach to digital culture I abhor would indeed turn all the world's books into one book, just as Kevin (Kelly) suggested. It might start to happen in the next decade or so. Google and other companies are scanning library books into the cloud in a massive Manhattan Project of cultural digitization. What happens next is what's important. If the books in the cloud are accessed via user interfaces that encourage mashups of fragments that obscure the context and authorship of each fragment, there will be only one book. This is what happens today with a lot of content; often you don't know where a quoted fragment from a news story came from, who wrote a comment, or who shot a video. A continuation of the present trend will make us like various medieval religious empires, or like North Korea, a society with a single book.

The Bible can serve as a prototypical example. Like Wikipedia, the Bible's authorship was shared, largely anonymous, and cumulative, and the obscurity of the individual authors served to create an oracle-like ambience for the document as "the literal word of God." If we take a non-metaphysical view of the Bible, it serves as a link to our ancestors, a window. The ethereal, digital replacement technology for the printing press happens to have come of age in a time when the unfortunate ideology I'm criticizing dominates technological culture. Authorship - the very idea of the individual point of view - is not a priority of the new ideology. The digi ~ Jaron Lanier
Kevin Kelly quotes by Jaron Lanier
A complaint is a unique opportunity to strengthen the relationship with the client. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
A distributed, decentralized network is more a process than a thing. In the logic of the Net there is a shift from nouns to verbs. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
The way to build a complex system that works is to build it from very simple systems that work. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by 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
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
Why fear feedback? Why stigmatize failure in the workplace when it's bringing you closer to achieving your organizational goals. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
Clearly, we are self-made. We are the first technology. We are part inventor and part the invented ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by 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
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
All these computers, all these handhelds, all these cell phones, all these laptops, all these servers - what we're getting out of all these connections is we're getting one machine ... We're constructing a single, global machine. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
We have no certainty we'll contact extraterrestrial beings from one of the billion earthlike planets in the sky in the next 200 years, but we have almost 100 percent certainty that we'll manufacture an alien intelligence by then. When we face these synthetic aliens, we'll encounter the same benefits and challenges that we expect from contact with ET. They will force us to reevaluate our roles, our beliefs, our goals, our identity. What are humans for? I believe our first answer will be: Humans are for inventing new kinds of intelligences that biology could not evolve. Our job is to make machines that think different - to create alien intelligences. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
We are reaching deep within ourselves to adjust the master knob. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
Seeing our world through technology's eyes has, for me, illuminated its larger purpose. And recognizing what it wants has reduced much of my own conflict in deciding where to place myself in its embrace. This book is my report on what technology wants. My hope is that it will help others find their own way to optimize technology's blessings and minimize its costs. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
But in a turbulent environment the change is so widespread that it just routes around any kind of central authority. So it is best to manage the bottom-up change rather than try to institute it from the top down. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
The young are always coming up with the good ideas; it's because they waste time. They follow their passion and do something, not looking for a payoff, just doing what's interesting. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
Preserve the core, and let the rest flux. In their wonderful bestseller Built to Last, authors James Collins and Jerry Porras make a convincing argument that long-lived companies are able to thrive 50 years or more by retaining a very small heart of unchanging values, and then stimulating progress in everything else. At times "everything" includes changing the business the company operates in, migrating, say, from mining to insurance. Outside the core of values, nothing should be exempt from flux. Nothing. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
Sometimes you live life, and sometimes life happens to you. But you always get to choose what you do about it. Devon Brooks ~ Kevin Kelly DO The Pursuit Of Xcdeptional Execution
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly DO The Pursuit Of Xcdeptional Execution
What color is a chameleon placed on a mirror?
...
The chameleon responding to its own shifting image is an apt analog of the human world of fashion. Taken as a whole, what are fads but the response of a hive mind to its own reflection?
In a 21st-century society wired into instantaneous networks, marketing is the mirror; the collective consumer is the chameleon. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
The largest, fastest growing, most profitable companies in 2050 will be companies that will have figured out how to harness aspects of sharing that are invisible and unappreciated today. Anything that can be shared - thoughts, emotions, money, health, time - will be shared in the right conditions, with the right benefits. Anything that can be shared can be shared better, faster, easier, longer, and in a million more ways than we currently realize. At this point in our history, sharing something that has not been shared before, or in a new way, is the surest way to increase its value. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
Communities saturated with anonymity will either self-destruct or shift from the purely anonymous to the pseudo-anonymous, as in eBay, where you have a traceable identity behind a persistent invented nickname. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
My major goal in business was to learn. I had legislated in my mind for failure the worse possible scenario was I would learn a lot regardless of the outcome. This goal was the foundation for success of the business. Peldi, Balsamiq ~ Kevin Kelly DO The Pursuit Of Xceptional Execution
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly DO The Pursuit Of Xceptional Execution
Each system is trying to anticipate change in the environment. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
A brain is a society of very small, simple modules that cannot be said to be thinking, that are not smart in themselves. But when you have a network of them together, out of that arises a kind of smartness. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
The industrial age was driven by analog copies - exact and cheap. The information age is driven by digital copies - exact and free. ~ Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Kelly
Everything that feminism stands for is everything American, white, red and blue democratic. It is all the same stuff. So, I am boggled that I should have to give up this term that encapsulates what I want for my children, for my world, culture, brothers and sister because someone else thinks it means I don't shave my armpits. ~ Kelly Sue DeConnick
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kelly Sue DeConnick
There are storm clouds before the storm, there are the living before the dead. I need a figurehead, a banner bearer who will announce my arrival to the world. ~ Kevin Outlaw
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Outlaw
I think that's another misconception, [that] our quarterbacks run all the time. Quarterbacks can help you in the run game, they complement what you do, but it's a running back-driven run game. ~ Chip Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Chip Kelly
A trick I've learned is to eat just a little bit of something that has no carbs and no sugar in it before you go to sleep because it keeps your metabolism going. ~ Kelly Osbourne
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kelly Osbourne
The key to social engineering is influencing a person to do something that allows the hacker to gain access to information or your network. ~ Kevin Mitnick
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Mitnick
There is a way of ordering our mental life on more than one level at once. On one level we can be thinking, discussing, seeing, calculating, meeting all the demands of external affairs, but deep within, behind the scenes at a profounder level we may also be in prayer and adoration, song and worship and a gentle receptiveness to divine breathings. ~ Thomas Raymond Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by Thomas Raymond Kelly
The coal mining industry is very destructive and it doesn't have to be. ~ Kevin Richardson
Kevin Kelly quotes by Kevin Richardson
Her loss is my gain! ~ G.E. Kelly
Kevin Kelly quotes by G.E. Kelly
I think Little Nicky was a divergence from the films Adam Sandler was used to doing, and he was taking a risk. I admire him for doing that. ~ Kevin Nealon
