“It’s just radically different, and I don’t think we can explain that enough…We need time to get to work, to do the sufficient accompaniment work, that it will take to employ these scaling strategies…I’m not saying we are the silver bullet, but unless we start to actually build in the shadow of empire and are resourced to do it and build our own protected enclaves, and interweave those strategies to scale…we don’t even get a start.”
