“Rhythms, beats, etc., are fundamentally central to my creative drive: my first instrument was the drums, nearly every band I have been involved in or at the helm of, is driven by rhythm, my band is driven entirely by rhythm, machine rhythm, and the purpose of the rock instrumentation is literally to speak the beats, to emulate the rhythms with guitars and bass, with very little articulation, and without being 'progressive'.” FirstsLittlesHas BeensPurposeSpeakCreativeRocksInvolvedBandBeatsMachinesInstrumentsGuitarDrivenRhythmEtcProgressiveBassEmulateHelmArticulationInstrumentation Author:Justin Broadrick
“The Palestinians are fighting with human suicide bombers, that's all they have. The Israelis... they've got one of the most powerful military machines in the world. The Palestinians have nothing.

“I can make dough in a machine faster than I can make it by hand, but I want to make it by hand, because I want to remember the way it feels. It's so important for me to make it by hand - whether it's a pasta dough or a pâte brisée. You become involved in it. You become personal with it. For me it's such a wonderful way to get satisfaction and gratification when I'm cooking.” WayWantFeelsI CanImportantHandsRememberWonderfulInvolvedMachinesCookingSatisfactionFasterGratificationPastaDough Author:Thomas Keller
“To picture Roosevelt as a man at this time in his life - he felt he was old. He was 53 years old, feeling lonely and irrelevant. And all of a sudden, he takes on this campaign, and it becomes a crusade for popular government. And he ultimately goes on fire in the campaign, but he discovers he's up against all the old machine tactics that he used to use himself, and he has to let the public get involved. And he energizes the public through the most extreme kind of rhetoric, which truly brings him into the streets and onto his side.” MenYearsKindUseFeelingsGovernmentUsedFeltSidesFireStreetsGoes OnInvolvedLonelyMachinesExtremesCampaignsRhetoricIrrelevantTacticsGet InvolvedFeeling LonelyCrusadesOld Feelings Author:Geoffrey Cowan

“If you want a cow to be not just a cow but a milk machine, you can do a very good job at that by creating new hormones like the Bovine Growth Hormone. It might make the cow very ill, it might turn it into a drug addict, and it might even create consumer scares about the health and safety aspects of the milk. But we've gotten so used to manipulating objects and organisms and ecosystems for a single objective that we ignore the costs involved. I call this the "monoculture of the mind."” IfsWantMindMightJobsUsedTurnsGrowthCan DoObjectsInvolvedCostDrugCreatingAspectMachinesSafetyVery GoodIllObjectivesConsumersScareMilkCowsOrganismsAddictGood JobEcosystemsHormonesDrug AddictHealth And SafetyMonocultureBovineGrowth Hormones Author:Vandana Shiva
“Most writers I know have switched to word processors. I haven't but I'm very curious about why people like it so much. I think it has something to do with the fact that at last writing, which has been such an old-fashioned, artisanal activity, even on a typewriter, has now entered the central domain of modern experience which is that of making copies, being involved in the world of duplicates and machine-mediated activities.” PeopleThinkingKnowsWorldWritingHas BeensFactsLastsModernHavensInvolvedActivityMachinesCuriousCopiesOld FashionedDomainTypewritersDuplicateProcessors Author:Susan Sontag
