Every institution has been captured. Every promise has a cost that someone else will pay. Optimism is not a virtue — it is a failure of attention. The person who saw it coming deserves more credibility than the person who sold the dream.
Red Lines

moral conviction without outcome accountability is feel-good politics
idealism that ignores the institutional capture of every previous idealistic project
realism without cynicism misses the institutional capture that guarantees the constraint
