“The only morality of the algorithm is to optimize you as a consumer, and in many cases you become the product. There are very few examples in human history of industries where people themselves become products, and those are scary industries – slavery and the sex trade.

“Once a little boy sent me a charming card with a little drawing on it. I loved it. I answer all my children’s letters — sometimes very hastily — but this one I lingered over. I sent him a card and I drew a picture of a Wild Thing on it. I wrote, “Dear Jim: I loved your card.” Then I got a letter back from his mother and she said, “Jim loved your card so much he ate it.” That to me was one of the highest compliments I’ve ever received. He didn’t care that it was an original Maurice Sendak drawing or anything. He saw it, he loved it, he ate it.”

“Be faithful to your own taste because nothing you really like is ever out of style.”
