Pace layers

Stewart Brand, 18 January 2018, Journal of Design and Science

"Fast learns, slow remembers.  Fast proposes, slow disposes.  Fast is discontinuous, slow is continuous.  Fast and small instructs slow and big by accrued innovation and by occasional revolution.  Slow and big controls small and fast by constraint and constancy.  Fast gets all our attention, slow has all the power."

"The job of fashion and art is to be froth—quick, irrelevant, engaging, self-preoccupied, and cruel."
