      Yes, we are a bit schizophrenic in this way! On one hand, we're grounded in the ethos of "impatient optimism" which compels us to solve big, important problems NOW! On the other, we can't seem to help building skyscrapers when just a 1 bedroom apartment will do. Thanks for the feedback. -chris.ernst@gatesfoundation.org
