(2009-07-31) Kalman Frankling American Innovation

Maira Kalman on Ben Franklin and American Innovation. Everything is invented. Language. Childhood. Careers. Relationships. Religion. Philosophy. The future. They are not there for the plucking. They don't exist in some natural state. They must be invented by people. And that, of course, is a great thing. Don't mope in your room. Go invent something. (D And D)
