"Courage is far shorter in supply than genius." - Peter Thiel "One of the challenges in writing a book about entrepreneurship or teaching a class on this is that there is sort of no formula. And I think science always starts with a number two. It starts with experiments you can repeat, things you can do over and over again. But there's sort of a sense in which every moment in the history of business, every moment in the history of technology happens only once. The next Mark Zuckerberg will not be starting a social networking company. The next Larry Page will not start a search engine. The next Bill Gates will not be starting an operating system. And so if you are trying to copy these people, you're in some sense not learning from them. And so I think one of the really big challenges in teaching or writing about entrepreneurship is what can you say about being an entrepreneur at all when the key thing is always to do something new, different, that's not precisely been done before. And so the point of departure I start with in Zero to One is a somewhat indirect approach by asking a series of contrarian questions. The business question is, what great company is nobody starting? The more intellectual version of this question is, tell me something true that very few people agree with you on. And this is a fantastic interview question. It turns out to be quite a hard question, even when people can read on the internet that you ask of everybody who comes in the door, it still is a hard question. It's one of those unusual questions where if you know it's on the test, it's still hard. And it's hard not just because we sort of think that new things require brilliance or something like that, but because it's socially difficult. If I ask you that question, if you tell me something like the education system is screwed up or our political system doesn't work very well, those are true answers, but they're not actually good answers because all of us already know them to be true. The good answers are ones that are somehow uncomfortable that the person interviewing you does not actually want to hear. And I think we live in this world where courage is in far shorter supply than genius. And so it is sort of this, it is in a sense this problem of political correctness properly understood, is this very deep, very, very broad sort of a problem."

Steven Spielberg on the why he made 'Catch Me If You Can' (2002) & lists his favourite movies about Conmen: "Interviewer: In terms of stories about ethics and morality, do you see any relationship between 'Catch Me If You Can' (2002) and 'Minority Report' (2002)? Spielberg: Not really. No. I mean, some of my films have had to do with broken homes and people on the run from their sad pasts. But except for those touchstones for me, there are those strands that got me to say: 'You know, there’s something also about me that I can say through the telling of this kind of light-hearted story.' Interviewer: 'Catch Me If You Can' does crystallize those things you just mentioned—broken homes, running from your past. Spielberg: Exactly. Interviewer: Do you only make movies that will allow you to touch some of those things? Spielberg: Well, maybe recently I’ve made a lot, but that’s not the reason I commit to direct a movie because there is a theme in it that I’m not through exploring. I committed to directing 'Catch Me If You Can' not because of the divorce component, but principally because Frank Abagnale did things that were the most astonishing scams I had ever heard. And I’m a big fan of scams. I love 'The Flim-Flam Man' (1967). I loved 'Scarecrow' (1973) with Gene Hackman. I loved 'Elmer Gantry' (1960), which I think is a bit of a scam movie. 'The Sting' (1973) and 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid' (1969) were kind of scams. You know, some of these villains, you have to sympathize with them." (Steven Spielberg's interview with Steve Head, 2002)

French economist Thomas Piketty explains to Zack Polanski that how a local wealth tax should Include an exit tax, adding rich should pay their fair share in proportion: "Let me make very clear that individual countries like Britain or France can very well have uh, uh, progressive wealth tax and billionaire on their own right away." "They don't need to ask the permission of their neighbors or the United Nation, or they don't need to wait for world unanimity." "The only thing they need to do when they do wealth tax on their own is to make clear that if you have made your wealth in, in Britain for many decades by benefiting from the public services in Britain, by the legal system of Britain, because creating wealth, accumulating wealth is always the outcome, uh, of a collective process where you use institution, the legal system, the education system, the health system, the transportation system, the road system." "If you have benefited from this during many decades, you cannot simply walk away at age 50 or 60 or whatever and say, okay now, bye bye, I don't pay tax anymore." "So the first, the only important thing you need to do when you set up a wealth tax, say in Britain, is to say even if you go away, you keep paying." "The way the Americans do it, is by saying as long as you keep U.S. citizenship, you pay even if you're in Switzerland, wherever you want." "I don't think this is the best way." "I think a better way would be to make people pay in proportion to the years of, of residents that they have spent in the country." "So if you have spent your first 50 years in Britain, you move at age 51, well that's fine, do that." "But you know, you keep paying 50, 51st of the tax that you would have paid." "So the fiscal cost for the treasury is quite limited." "Yes, so that's the important point." "And once you have said that, I think all the arguments about tax evasion sort of fall down almost immediately." "Now people will tell you, oh, but you cannot do that." "Of course you can." "The problem is that we have put ourselves in a situation to think that the very specific treaties about capital flows, what we have come to call free capital flows that were set up in the 80s and 90s, are sort of law of nature." "The idea that you have a sacralized right to benefit from the public services legal system in a country as much as you want, and then you push on a button and you can transfer your assets wherever you want and nobody can follow you and nobody can make you pay." "And it's a sort of new sacralized right." "But look, this is a uh, completely crazy system." "This is a machinery to make normal people middle class and lower class people hate globalization." "And if you tell people there's nothing you can change about this." "There's nothing you can change about inequality, about economic policy." "We see the only thing government can do is to control their border for, uh, migrants." "And then of course, 20 years, 30 years later, the entire political conversation is about border control and identity." "But that's because you close the discussion entirely about, uh, uh, economic and fiscal policy." "So we have to reopen the discussion." "And the first thing to do that is to question free capital flows in the sense that you don't have the freedom to escape taxation after you have benefited from the public services and public institution of a country during so long." "So if you address this directly and make clear that you will keep paying in proportion to the number of years you have stayed in Britain, then um, um, I mean, you can also combine that with rules about the location of the assets themselves." "As long as the assets are located in Britain, of course you can make people pay." "But it's important to, to have also the number of years you've spent in the country so that even if you move your assets away, you keep paying and you don't have the choice otherwise your assets can be taken away from you if some of them are in Britain, if you return to Britain and you've not paid your tax, well, you will be subject to the sanction which anybody not paying your tax." "So that's the first big thing, is that you don't need to have a world wealth tax." "You can do a lot at the level of Britain." "And we should not use this global wealth tax idea as an excuse not to do at, uh, the country level what national governments can do at their own level."
