backed business context exposure fit limited model monsters movies people successful upside

block moving ideas
You are saying, are you not, I said to Manuelito, that stories have more room in them than ideas? [...] He laughed. That is correct, Señor. It is as if ideas are made of blocks. Rigid and hard.
