Quote by Violetta Bellocchio

“Il ricordo di un trauma è sfocato per definizione. L’ago salta sul vinile, le prime tre battute della canzone sono perdute. Puoi solo riempirle a orecchio. Anche con i metodi più comuni per riportare in superficie le cose più nascoste, come la tecnica EMDR che ha preso il posto dell’ipnosi, non ti consegnano mai il passato sotto forma di immagini in movimento. Il trauma è un livido, una parte del tuo cervello annerita per sempre, e per questo tu non vai a stuzzicarlo con un dito. Qualcosa ti dice: lascia stare. E se poi tu decidi di provarci? Di non lasciare stare? Non le rivedi, certe cose. Non è come guardare una Polaroid. Tu le rivivi.”

“Today’s tech giants have not invented an interop-proof computer. They’ve invented laws that make interoperability illegal unless they give permission for it. A new, complex thicket of copyright, patent, trade secret, noncompete and other IP rights has conjured up a new offense we can think of as “felony contempt of business model”—the right of large firms to dictate how their customers, competitors and even their critics must use their products.”

“The hard problems of reforming social media are the laws that block interoperability and the management of tech giants’ unwillingness to provide interoperability in the absence of these laws. Because Big Tech can lock people into its silos, it can impose high switching costs on users who have the temerity to leave those silos: they can make you surrender your apps, or your data, or your relationships, or your media, or your customer list.”

“Hauptmann Khôi: – Haben Sie gesehen? Echt übel, so ein Krieg gegen Aufständische, was?! Okay, in zwei Stunden stehen Sie unter der Dusche… Dann ziehen Sie einen durch oder legen eine kleine vietnamesische Hure flach, und am Ende finden Sie diesen Krieg geil… … Bei ihrem nächsten Besuch werden Sie Fotos machen, die Sie sich heute nicht getraut haben. Und wir werden das zulassen. Und mit Ihren Fotos werden Sie uns großes Unrecht antun. Aber das unterscheidet uns von denen auf der anderen Seite.”

“The point is: If we can store music on a compact disc, why can't we store a man's intelligence and personality on one? So I have the engineers figuring that out now. Brain Mapping. Artificial Intelligence. We should have been working on it thirty years ago. I will say this - and I'm gonna say it on tape so everybody hears it a hundred times a day: If I die before you people can pour me into a computer, I want Caroline to run this place. Now she'll argue. She'll say she can't. She's modest like that. But you make her.”
