“For centuries before Google, MIT, and IDEO, modern hotbeds of innovation, we struggled to explain any kind of creation, from the universe itself to the multitudes of ideas around us. While we can make atomic bombs, and dry-clean silk ties, we still don't have satisfying answers for simple questions like: Where do songs come from?

Our popular answers have been unconvincing, enabling misleading, fantasy-laden myths to grow strong.”

Those now old children also want to stop time, but at another time. They want to freeze their own children at the center of time.”

“Most 20th century academic physicists, and academia as a whole, simply did not want to touch the subject of consciousness.
