Slavoj Žižek
“We find ourselves constantly in the position of having to decide about things that will fundamentally impact our lives, but without the knowledge required to make such decisions responsibly.”
Slavoj Žižek, Against Progress

Cory Doctorow
“We need lots of tech, run by lots of different kinds of people and organizations, and we need to make it as close to costless as possible to switch from one to the other.”
Cory Doctorow, The Internet Con: How to Seize the Means of Computation

Slavoj Žižek
“It’s not so much that the majority of people are fooled, it is basically that they don’t care - their main concern is that their relatively stable life goes on undisturbed. The majority doesn’t want actual democracy in which they would really decide: they want the appearance of democracy where they freely vote, but some higher authority which they trust presents them with a choice and then simultaneously shows them how they should vote.”
Slavoj Žižek

Cory Doctorow
“I could write an entire (tedious) book about why I think blockchain-based technologies are foolish at best and scams at worst, but it wouldn’t convince anyone in blockchainland of anything.”
Cory Doctorow, The Internet Con: How to Seize the Means of Computation

Cory Doctorow
“In my discussions with blockchain people, I’ve encountered a persistent pattern: first, they assume that if you disagree with them, it must be because you don’t understand them. If you manage to convince a blockchainist that you do understand them and that you still disagree with them, they assume you’re being paid to disagree with them.”
Cory Doctorow, The Internet Con: How to Seize the Means of Computation
