On the other hand there was culture. New Orleans does many things well, but there are two things it proudly refuses to do. New Orleans does not move quickly, and New Orleans does not place much faith in authority. If it did those things, New Orleans would not really be New Orleans It would also have been much better prepared to deal with Katrina, since those are the exact two things you need to do when a hurricane threatens to strike.
N. Silver, The Signal and the Noise (2012), 109
