“IF you really want to know why the financial system nearly collapsed in the fall of 2008, I can tell you in one simple sentence.” - Iulian Dogariu

Moore is a rather simple guy. He is likable. He sees the world as good guys (people with no money) and bad guys (people with money). His Flint, Michigan, union-worker upbringing is his worldview. If you did not have that upbringing or if your life started less severe than his, you are an evil capitalist. If, on the other hand, you are a laid-off factory worker with a sixth-grade education, you are a true hero. - Iulian Dogariu

tot ceea ce a trăit omenirea până acum, a dovedit (suficient de convingător, zic eu) că acolo unde majoritatea a gândit antreprenorial toți au trăit mai bine, iar acolo unde majoritatea a gândit redistribuționist toți au sfârșit prin a trăi mai rău. - Iulian Dogariu

Privită la microscop, povestea poate fi judecată cu simțul dreptății și alte chestii de-astea. Privită din avion, este povestea unui sistem bolnav și muribund în care o masă majoritară de asistați sprijină un număr mic de derbedei care se fac că îi asistă. Este, cred eu, cel mai lipsit de libertate sistem de la dispariția sclaviei încoace. - Iulian Dogariu

By far the dominant reason for not releasing sooner was a reluctance to trade the dream of success for the reality of feedback. - Iulian Dogariu

So if you want to discover things that have been overlooked till now, one really good place to look is in our blind spot: in our natural, naive belief that it's all about us. And expect to encounter ferocious opposition if you do. Conversely, if you have to choose between two theories, prefer the one that doesn't center on you. - Iulian Dogariu

De ce pentru povestea 1, personajul negativ este privit ca un mare iubitor de oameni, care ne-a invatat o lectie, deciziile lui fiind intotdeauna corecte, omul fiind cel vinovat pentru “cadere”? In comparatie in povestea 2 personajul negativ este privit asa cum e normal ca un antagonist, un exemplu negativ, aratat cu degetul ca si ceea-ce-nu-doresti-sa-devii? - Iulian Dogariu

This superstition is propagated at least as much by scientists—and even by "computer scientists"—as by humanists. What we are told, about the limitations of computers, usually takes this general form: "A computer cannot create. It can do only exactly what it is told. Unless a process is formulated with perfect precision, you cannot make a computer do it." - Iulian Dogariu

When you harbor negative feelings toward successful people, you push success away. When you harbor positive feelings toward them, your own success draws nearer. - Iulian Dogariu

Wikipedians are generally "grumpy," "disagreeable," and "closed to new ideas." - Iulian Dogariu

The main purpose of higher education and making all the smartest kids from one school come together with all the smartest kids from other schools, recursively, is to show every smart kid everywhere that they are not the smartest kid around. - Iulian Dogariu

A team comprising only 4.0 GPA prodigies will never get ugly. They will never take big risks, never make big mistakes, and therefore never pull one another out of a fire. Without risks, mistakes, and mutual rescue, the chemical bonds of deep personal trust cannot grow. For a team to make something beautiful there must be some ugliness along the way. The tragedy of a team of perfect people is that they will all be so desperate to maintain their sense of perfection, their 4.0 in life, that when faced with the pressure of an important project their selfish drives will tear the team apart. Beautiful people are afraid of scars: they don't have the imagination to see how beautiful scars can be. - Iulian Dogariu

Analysis of the Linux infrastructure behind the Palm Pre - Iulian Dogariu

You have to make your own success first, before you ask the industry for help. You have to show that you’re going to be successful with-or-without their help. Show that you have momentum, and if they want to accelerate it or amplify it they can, but it will cost them to ride your coat-tails. - Iulian Dogariu

[...] people who partition the world population into “the good” and “the bad” always make the mistake of believing that they fall into the “the good” partition, when they are actually among the very few that are truly evil: No monumental evil act in the history of mankind has been committed by anyone who thought of themselves as “evil” — on the contrary, the worse the (objective) evil, the more the perpetrator was completely convinced of the goodness of himself and of his “purification”. - Iulian Dogariu

The hardest thing in the world to do in this business is start a band nobody's heard of. - Iulian Dogariu
