“Climb the mountain not to plant your flag, but to embrace the challenge, enjoy the air and behold the view. Climb it so you can see the world, not so the world can see you.”
David McCullough Jr.

Dasha Kiper
“Memory, then, is not simply about remembering, and memory loss is not simply about forgetting. An altered memory is about more than pluses and minuses, deficits and surpluses. A dramatic change in memory changes everything because memory has a hand in everything. Memory is so integrated into every aspect of life—from thinking, to communicating, to forming and sustaining relationships, to creating continuity, meaning, and coherence—that its disappearance is incomprehensible. We simply have no cognitive framework that allows for its absence in others.”
Dasha Kiper, Travelers to Unimaginable Lands: Stories of Dementia, the Caregiver, and the Human Brain

Margalit Fox
“Looking back, one can almost imagine them stalking through the wild with specimen bottles and outsize nets, in determined pursuit of the Ojibwa adverb or the Cherokee pronoun.”
Margalit Fox, Talking Hands: What Sign Language Reveals About the Mind

Kashmir  Hill
“there is still no overarching law guaranteeing Americans control over what photos are taken of them, what is written about them, or what is done with their personal data.”
Kashmir Hill, Your Face Belongs to Us: A Tale of AI, a Secretive Startup, and the End of Privacy
