Society Quotes

These rumors do not circulate in all directions, but essentially from the top to the bottom of society.

I like going to Burning Man, for example. An environment where people can try new things. I think as technologists we should have some safe places where we can try out new things and figure out the effect on society. What's the effect on people, without having to deploy it to the whole world.

Work done illegally outdoors or without permission feels like pure freedom to me. I understand how it can upset many in our society, but in the bigger picture, it is ultimately about freedom.

I prefer Buddhism because it gives three principles in combination, which no other religion does.
