Milton Friedman died yesterday. He was a great man, about which many will
write more eloquently than I will attempt here. Reading his obit this morning
in the Wall Street Journal, I came across this quote which struck me as quite
relevant for thinking about the future of object-capabilities:
We do not influence the course of events by persuading people
that we are right when we make what they regard as radical
proposals. Rather, we exert influence by keeping options
available when something has to be done at a time of crisis.
--Milton Friedman
