    • “ I’m interested in the possibility that learning to be good at a game makes you good at life, makes you good at changing the world , and gives you skills that are going to allow you to reinvent your environment. Because, in the game, you play against an environment that’s been given to you.”
    • “ There’s real value in being pushed toward global awareness and looking long-term . That’s one of the things that I find very useful about games…. I think these are the timelines we need to be looking — the 100- or 200-year horizons. Because most of the really bad stuff that’s happening right now is the result of very short-term thinking.”
