A saint is simply a human being whose soul has ... grown up to its full stature, by full and generous response to its environment, God.

It is instructive to see how organizations pursue their goal of reducing errors and uncertainty. They impose standards, employ checklists, demand that knowledge workers list assumptions for their conclusions and document all sources. These actions either directly interfere with forming insights or create an environment where insights and discoveries are treated with suspicion because they might lead to errors. They signal to knowledge workers that their job is not to make mistakes. Even if they don't make discoveries, no one can blame them as long as they don't make mistakes.

The natural environment is not particularly hospitable to human life ... the key to having a good environment is improving it through work... Energy is fundamentally an environmental improver and if we classify it that way it makes sense out of a lot of these controversies...It's our obligation and our right to make our environment as good for human beings as possible.
