Quote by Mieko Kawakami

“…cuando hablamos, se entienden las palabras, ¿verdad? Pero, en realidad, muchas veces no pasa lo mismo con lo que queremos decir. Las palabras se entienden, pero el contenido no. Muchos problemas nacen de ahí. Nosotros vivimos en un mundo en que se entienden las palabras, pero no lo que decimos. Todos nosotros.”

Now each of us constructs a custom informational universe, wittingly (we choose to go to the sources that uphold our existing beliefs and thus flatter us) or unwittingly (our app algorithms do the driving for us). The data we get this way, pre-imprinted with spin and mythos, are intensely one-dimensional.”
