On Curation

Recently, the word "curation" has been rising in popularity, driven by the growing recognition that the way in which things are combined can transform the ordinary into the superior. Most people don't think at the level of curation, and as a result obsess about minute details that are irrelevant to the goals—especially if those details are the only things for which they are responsible. If you put a sack of groceries in the hands of a talented chef, you'll get a great meal. If you put the same sack in front of Not Invented Here loving middle managers, they'll insist on inventing their own vegetables.
