Phones and soundtracks and Muzak and fountains replace genuine and unpredictable human contact with a seamless soundtrack from a bad movie and a cliche that makes us believe we must all be happy.
— Margaret Heffernan
The truth won't set us free - until we develop the skills and the habit and the talent and the moral courage to use it.
If we aren't going to be afraid of conflict, we have to see it as thinking.
The biggest catastrophes that we've witnessed rarely come from information that is secret or hidden. It comes from information that is freely available and out there, but that we are willfully blind to.
