I would say that a Chinese or Russian future is a radically different future than an American future. Much less human freedom, much less diversity … It’s change done by modeling rather than change done by control. If we establish an information-age, economically decisive, exciting America, the rest of the world will imitate us … You have to go in phases. Phase one is conceptualizing; phase two is applying it to America; phase three is encouraging the world to learn what we’re doing; and phase four is interacting with the world. You’ve got to do it in that sequence, although phases two and three can be parallel … The genius of a free society is that if you are in fact correct about your perception of the future, people will aggregate and reinforce it.
