“The entire [US Government] project rested on the premise that 'terrorist signatures' actually existed. Yet this premise did not hold up. The conclusion was inevitable: "The one thing predictable anout predictive daya mining for terrrorism is that it would be consistently wrong". Any single, universal model of 'terrorist' will unavoidably fail to account for the wide varieties of different terror attacks around the world.”
John Cheney-Lippold, We Are Data: Algorithms and the Making of Our Digital Selves

Giuliano da Empoli
“You can't control the things that happen [...] Believe me, the only thing you can control is the way you interpret events. If you start from the idea that it's not things, but the judgments we make about them that make us suffer, then you can aspire to take control of your life.”
Giuliano da Empoli, Le Mage du Kremlin

Éric Vuillard
“For man is poor. Irremediably. We *are* poverty, buffeted between desire and disgust.”
Éric Vuillard, The War of the Poor

Giuliano da Empoli
“We know neither what's good for us nor what's bad. But we're free to decide on the meaning of the things that do happen. And that's our one and only strength.”
Giuliano da Empoli, The Wizard of the Kremlin

R. Buckminster Fuller
“We should do away with the absolutely specious notion that everybody has to earn a living. It is a fact today that one in ten thousand of us can make a technological breakthrough capable of supporting all the rest. The youth of today are absolutely right in recognizing this nonsense of earning a living. We keep inventing jobs because of this false idea that everybody has to be employed at some kind of drudgery because, according to Malthusian Darwinian theory he must justify his right to exist. So we have inspectors of inspectors and people making instruments for inspectors to inspect inspectors. The true business of people should be to go back to school and think about whatever it was they were thinking about before somebody came along and told them they had to earn a living.”
Buckminster Fuller
