Hank Green
“What is reality except for the things that people universally experience the same way?”
Hank Green, An Absolutely Remarkable Thing

Jaron Lanier
“Social media is biased, not to the Left or the Right, but downward”
Jaron Lanier, Ten Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now

Daniel Coyle
“One misconception about highly successful cultures is that they are happy, lighthearted places. This is mostly not the case. They are energized and engaged, but at their core their members are oriented less around achieving happiness than around solving hard problems together. This task involves many moments of high-candor feedback, uncomfortable truth-telling, when they confront the gap between where the group is, and where it ought to be.”
Daniel Coyle, The Culture Code: The Secrets of Highly Successful Groups

Steven Pinker
“As you are reading these words, you are taking part in one of the wonders of the natural world. For you and I belong to a species with a remarkable ability: we can shape events in each other's brains with exquisite precision.”
Steven Pinker, The Language Instinct: How the Mind Creates Language

Edward Snowden
“Once you go digging into the actual technical mechanisms by which predictability is calculated, you come to understand that its science is, in fact, anti-scientific, and fatally misnamed: predictability is actually manipulation. A website that tells you that because you liked this book you might also like books by James Clapper or Michael Hayden isn’t offering an educated guess as much as a mechanism of subtle coercion.”
Edward Snowden, Permanent Record
