Quote by Joseph Reagle

“life hacking, especially the optimizing type, is associated with a type of tunnel vision. Life hacking can be like donning a set of horse blinkers so as to block out distractions and focus attention on personal goals. This means, however, that with their vision fixed on the horizon, hackers can be naive to the people and circumstances on their periphery. The more optimal the hacking, the more narrow and distant the vision tends to be. (*Hacking Life*, p. 12)”

“Bishop, I hear the frustration, and I won’t pretend every voice coming out of Jerusalem is measured. Some speak too loudly, too possessively.

For many of us, the land isn’t conquest; it’s the only place where we were ever allowed to stop running. I don’t defend every policy, every settlement, every excess. I only ask for the same nuance you would want for your own Church’s long history of power and error.”
