David Axelrod’s commencement speech
Real-Time Data and Accounting
“The ideal is to move accountants out of the data aggregation business. With modern data markup languages and Internet tools, companies can make the raw transactions data available for anyone to analyze. In the spirit of open source software, analysts will aggregate the data into whatever form they find illuminating, and the market will then determine what statistical representations of the raw data are the most useful. The best statistics may vary from one type of business to another. The role of accounting will be to verify and expedite the process, to make sure that all the data are made accessible and that they are described correctly.”
—Richard Bookstaber, “A Demon of our own Design” (2007)
”Seize the day, for the world is fleeting
In the eyes of the wise, the moment is better than the whole world,
Alexander, who ruled a whole world,
At the very moment he died, left the world.”
—Mir Imad (1554-1615)
“ To suffer is one thing; another thing is living with the photographed images of suffering, which does not necessarily strengthen conscience and the ability to be compassionate. It can also corrupt them.
Susan Sontag
“ It’s one of the maddening perversities of human psychology that we only notice we’re alive when we’re reminded we’re going to die, sort of the same way some of us only appreciate our girlfriends after they’re exes.
Tim Kreider, The New York Times
