Yuval Noah Harari
“The greatest crimes in modern history resulted not just from hatred and greed, but even more so from ignorance and indifference.”
Yuval Noah Harari, 21 Lessons for the 21st Century

Yuval Noah Harari
“The algorithms are watching you right now. They are watching where you go, what you buy, whom you meet. Soon they will monitor all your steps, all your breaths, all your heartbeats. They are relying on Big Data and machine learning to get to know you better and better. And once these algorithms know you better than you know yourself, they can control and manipulate you, and you won’t be able to do much about it. You will live in the matrix, or in The Truman Show. In the end, it’s a simple empirical matter: if the algorithms indeed understand what’s happening within you better than you understand it yourself, authority will shift to them.”
Yuval Noah Harari, 21 Lessons for the 21st Century

“I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.”
Marilyn Monroe

Albert Einstein
“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”
Albert Einstein

Mahatma Gandhi
“Be the change that you wish to see in the world.”
