Lenin once said, “The first mission of a revolutionist is to survive.” He lost his 19-year old brother, Aleksandr Ulyanov, in May 1887, when he was only 17. Aleksandr was hung for participating in terrorist assassination attempt against the tsar Alexander III. Lenin learned his lesson: you can’t change the world when you’re not even in the game. Similarly, information architects looking to make a difference first need to stay in the game.
