I think society is both something that's very real and very powerful, but on the whole quite problematic.

Americans mythologize competition and credit it with saving us from socialist bread lines. Actually, capitalism and competition are opposites. Capitalism is premised on the accumulation of capital, but under perfect competition, all profits get competed away.

You will never build a company on the scale of a Facebook or a Google if you sell it along the way.

Whereas a competitive firm must sell at the market price, a monopoly owns its market, so it can set its own prices. Since it has no competition, it produces at the quantity and price combination that maximizes its profits.

As an undergraduate at Stanford, I started 'The Stanford Review,' which ended up being very engaged in the hot debates of the time: campus speech codes, questions about diversity on campus, all sorts of debates like that.

My only claim is that not all talented people should go to college and not all talented people should do the exact same thing.

Contrarian thinking doesn't make any sense unless the world still has secrets left to give up.

I think competition can make people stronger at whatever it is they're competing on. If we're competing in some athletic event for competitive swimmers, really intensely competing, it's likely that both of us will become better, but it's also quite possible we'll lose sight of what's truly valuable.

It's good to test yourself and develop your talents and ambitions as fully as you can and achieve greater success; but I think success is the feeling you get from a job well done, and the key thing is to do the work.

In the '30s, the Keynesian stuff worked at least in the sense that you could print money without inflation because there was all this productivity growth happening. That's not going to work today.

I had a good experience in college, but I don't think interdisciplinary education is something that's stressed very much at all. It's generally considered to be something of a bad idea.

Facebook succeeded because it was about real people having a presence on the Internet. There were all these other social networking sites people had, but they were all about fictional people.

When people use the word 'science,' it's often a tell, like in poker, that you're bluffing.

Education is a bubble in a classic sense. To call something a bubble, it must be overpriced, and there must be an intense belief in it.

Every time you write an email, it is in the public domain. There are all these ways where security is not as good as people believe.

I do think there is this danger that our society has made its peace with decline. I'd like to jolt them out of their complacency a little bit.

When I was starting out, I followed along the path that seemed to be marked out for me - from high school to college to law school to professional life.
