At a time when the word “globalist” can feel tinged with elitism, Bourdain’s model brings another meaning to it entirely. He gave us a reason to believe that a more generous, open, and delicious world is not only possible, it’s waiting for us to go out and find it.

““The challenges of poverty are incredibly complex, and the sector does a great job of analyzing the full breadth of these problems. But when it comes to solutions, we too often get stuck on the bottom rungs of Maslow’s ladder. Imagine what could happen if we were to consider a person’s basic physical needs while simultaneously taking into account the qualities that make us all human.””

“To find ideas, find problems. To find problems, talk to people.

[…]

When meeting people from different companies or entirely different industries, one of my favorite questions to ask is “What are the hardest parts of your job?” People appreciate the opportunity to share their challenges, and enjoy the small dose of empathy.

But more interestingly, it uncovers a wealth of interesting topics that go beyond typical cocktail party pleasantries.”

“It is perhaps less known that Dieter Rams was trained as an architect in the early 1950s. Later, when he was professor at the University of Fine Arts in Hamburg, he strove to bring together the disciplines of architecture, interior design and industrial design. What I have learnt from Dieter is that, above all else, design is a thinking process. I would venture that Vitsœ’s new building is not a piece of architecture; it is a way of thinking. Which is why it has been designed by many thinkers.”

““… although you may grow up feeling that all are equal, and that discrimination is not a problem in your circle of friends, it most certainly is an issue all around you – and you have work to do. You are lucky that you are growing up in a privileged, safe, and welcoming environment. But it’s not the same for everyone, and I know there are kids today, and later in your life, adults, who will need you to be their ally.””

“So the writers got called in to the office to hear the notes. Greg gets on the phone and the executives are on the other line, on speakerphone. Only the writers have read the scripts so far and this is, you know, before the table read, and they get on the phone, and they go, “This script is really, really dark.” And Greg said, “Yeah.” And there’s a pause and they said, “It’s really dark.” And Greg said, “Yeah. It is.” And they go, “It’s really dark.” And he goes, “Yup.” And then he goes, “OK, anything else, guys?” And they said, “Uh … nope.” They hung up and that was it. They didn’t offer any other notes.”

“I often feel people don’t even know the scope of the problem. People wonder how politicians and the wealthy can tolerate the poor state of our roads or our airports or our internet. The answer is they no longer use the same infrastructure that the general populace does. There is a state within a state and they never intersect. When you walk by someone in business class on the plane, you’re not seeing the upper class; the upper crust is at a totally different airport where they were driven straight to their private jet.”
