I like that quote, but to be honest, being a German myself something I hate about other Germans is that they always are very limited in their head and scared of disruptive innovation. Germans are good at incremental but not at disruptive innovation.
This is true almost everywhere. What's truly astonishing is that there actually exists a place on earth with cultural norms that encourage disruption rather than try to suppress it. I don't think people really appreciate how historically rare that is.
