“My number one goal was not getting 'A's' - and I proved it. I was a 'C' student. You have to be ready to learn. If you're not interesting in learning, it doesn't work.

“For many of us, the computer is the means by which we earn a living. To give it a nod, then, is a way of thanking the tool for what it provides in life. It helps put bread on the table and a roof overhead. It gives us work and pleasure, exercises our minds, brings us information, connects us with other people. It is a partner helping us achieve our goals. Nodding also thanks the unseen hands and minds who helped create our machine.” PeopleWayGivingMindMeanHelpingHandsGoalPleasureAchieveInformationExerciseGratitudeComputerToolsMachinesTablesPartnersBreadThanksRoofUnseenOverheadNodding Author:Philip Toshio Sudo
“Our goal is not to assume leadership of existing institutions, but rather to render them irrelevant. We don't want to take over the state or change its policies. We want to render its laws unenforceable. We don't want to take over corporations and make them more 'socially responsible.' We want to build a counter-economy of open-source information, neighborhood garage manufacturing, permaculture, encrypted currency and mutual banks, leaving the corporations to die on the vine along with the state. We do not hope to reform the existing order. We intend to serve as its grave-diggers.” WantStatesLawPurposeOrderDiesSocialGoalChangeEconomyInformationPolicySourceEconomicsResponsibleAimInstitutionsAssumingLeavingGravesReformCorporationsNeighborhoodMutualCurrencyIrrelevantManufacturingReformationGarageVinesRenderingPermacultureOpen SourceEconomic Reforms Author:Kevin Carson

“Speed as a drug disorganizes the personality; speed as the goal of information dissemination commits a subtler crime. People are mainlining our words.

“At Facebook we feel a lot of affinity not just for this community but for any community that is trying to do what Davos is trying to do, which is to share information. And Davos is doing it in a particular way - I think the Facebook approach is obviously more broad-based, we're trying to include everyone in the world.
