Authentication is as important as the raw information itself, and the manner and speed of the authentication process can be crucial.”

“Ideation without execution is delusion”
“Idee per innovare un sistema turistico e dell’ospitalità così tradizionale come quello italiano? Nessuna. Non c’è speranza. Ora abbiamo pure resuscitato Italia.it. Siamo al nonsense! Venti milioni di euro buttati nel 2007 per un progetto che era già obsoleto 15 anni fa. Se li avessero investiti in bitcoin ora avremmo nove trilioni di euro da destinare al settore. Il ministero del turismo crede davvero che una tecnologia creata nel ‘91 abbia ancora una qualche rilevanza nel 2022? Se si, ve la mostro in prospettiva: quando veniva pubblicato il primo sito web, Riccardo Cocciante vinceva Sanremo con “Se stiamo insieme.” Ecco, puntare su Italia.it oggi è l’equivalente di mandare Cocciante all’Eurovision al posto dei Maneskin.”
“Ideea de destin, care îi obsedează pe oameni sub mii de forme, îmi închipui că provine din această stranie coaliție a forțelor destructive, din această imposibilitate de a opri ceea ce se rostogolește pe pantele abisului. Astupi o breșă și se ivesc zece fisuri. Redresezi cârma și furtuna își dubleză forța. Decrepitudinea, decadența, căderea, s-ar zice că se hrănesc singure, și până la fascinație, din propriul vertij. Nu-i nimic de făcut împotriva uzurii, nu-i nimic de făcut împotriva timpului.”

“Identical information can lead to opposite conclusions based on relative perceptions of its receivers.”
“Identical twins are endemically alike in many ways.”
“Identical twins are ideal lab specimens for studying the difference between learned and inherited traits since they come from the womb preloaded with matching genetic operating systems. Any meaningful differences in their behaviors or personalities are thus likely to have been acquired, not innate.”
“Identical twins think and feel in such similar ways that they sometimes
suspect they are linked by telepathy. When separated at birth and reunited as
adults, they say they feel they have known each other all their lives. Testing
confirms that identical twins, whether separated at birth or not, are eerily alike
(though far from identical) in just about any trait one can measure. They are
similar in verbal, mathematical, and general intelligence, in their degree of life
satisfaction, and in personality traits such as introversion, agreeableness, neuroticism,
conscientiousness, and openness to experience. They have similar attitudes
toward controversial issues such as the death penalty, religion, and
modern music. They resemble each other not just in paper-and-pencil tests
but in consequential behavior such as gambling, divorcing, committing
crimes, getting into accidents, and watching television. And they boast dozens
of shared idiosyncrasies such as giggling incessantly, giving interminable answers
to simple questions, dipping buttered toast in coffee,and-in the case of
Abigail van Buren and Ann Landers-writing indistinguishable syndicated
advice columns. The crags and valleysof their electroencephalograms (brainwaves)
are as alike as those of a single person recorded on two occasions, and
the wrinkles of their brains and distribution of gray matter across cortical
areas are also similar.”

“Identical twins. I'm glad they're identical 'cause you save money on photographs. That's what I like. Yeah. Here's my little boy. I got another one just like it.”

“Identification with one's office or title is very attractive indeed, which is precisely why so many men are nothing more than the decorum accorded to them by society. In vain would one look for a personality behind the husk. Underneath one would find a very pitiable little creature. That is why the office is so attractive: it offers easy compensation for personal deficiencies.”

“Identification with the body, with the mind, with our possessions, with our families, with our friends - any kind of identification takes you outwards. All your possessions will be outwards: your wife, your husband, your children, your body - your body is outside you; your mind - your mind is outside you. The only thing that is not outside you is the witnessing. Just the watchfulness - that is your buddha. Identification means losing witnessing, falling into the trap of attachment. That is our misery, that is our slavery.”
“Identification with the rag called the national flag is an emotional and sentimental factor and for that factor you are willing to kill another - and that is called, the love of your country, love of the neighbor . . .? One can see that where sentiment and emotion come in, love is not.”
