Growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of the cancer cell.
If your startup is only in the development or idea stage, there is almost no better predictor of failure - I mean, utter failure, scorched-earth bankruptcy - than raising too much money in the first round.
Growth purely for its own sake is the philosophy of cancer.
I grew like a weed, though mostly from side to side.
We are no longer in a state of growth; we are in a state of excess. We are living in a society of excrescence. The boil is growing out of control, recklessly at cross purposes with itself, its impacts multiplying as the causes disintegrate.
Nature does not proceed in a straight line, it is rather a sprawling development.
Chaos often breeds life, when order breeds habit.
