“Here’s an invitation to truly embrace the creativity of others. Instead of beating your breast about how great you are, try saying how great someone else is. Look for win-wins, make that your new religion. Establish a policy that nothing will be announced unless it can be shown that someone else will win because of what you’re doing. How much happier we would be if instead of crippling each other with fear, we competed to empower each others’ creativity.”

That article was about a whole conference that was just like Calacanis’s speech at Gnomedex. It was from an industry that no longer leads anyone. But it scared a lot of people then, just like Jason’s attacks against me are scaring a lot of (good) people. They don’t want him to turn on them, so they don’t dare write about this publicly. They’re telling me about it privately, and I’m not asking them to stick their necks out, that should be entirely their choice.
