There are so many things to love about this speech, but I think my favorite part is this: "the only thing that actually works is not ideological, it is impure, has elements of both arguments and never actually achieves any kind of partisan or philosophical perfection."
That's an extremely cogent observation about capitalism, but it would be just as relevant in a discussion about FP and OO, or about team social dynamics. Across the board, I see people doing better work when they spend less time seeking philosophical consistency and purity, and more time responding to real observed situations.
