“You make something, and you really have fun with it, and you try to put emotion in it, and at the end of the day, you have no idea how the tide is going to fall. You don't know if everyone's going to like it, if everyone's going to hate it, if it's going to be like you're a media darling, or all of a sudden you're a sellout. You have no idea.” IfsKnowsTryingIdeasEndsHateFallFunEmotionMediaLike YouNo IdeaHaving FunThe End Of The DayTidesDarlingAnd At The End Of The Day Author:Regina Spektor
“American culture is no longer created by the people... A free, authentic life is no longer possible in AmericaTM today. We are being manipulated in the most insidious way. Our emotions, personalities and core values are under siege from media and cultural forces too complex to decode. A continuous product message has woven itself into the very fabric of our existence. Most North Americans now live designer lives-sleep, eat, sit in car, work, shop, watch TV, sleep again. I doubt there's more than a handful of free, spontaneous minutes anywhere in that cycle.

“I believe that part of what propels science is the thirst for wonder. It's a very powerful emotion. All children feel it. In a first grade classroom everybody feels it; in a twelfth grade classroom almost nobody feels it, or at least acknowledges it. Something happens between first and twelfth grade, and it's not just puberty. Not only do the schools and the media not teach much skepticism, there is also little encouragement of this stirring sense of wonder. Science and pseudoscience both arouse that feeling. Poor popularizations of science establish an ecological niche for pseudoscience.” FeelsFirstsBelieveChildrenLittlesFeelingsHappensSchoolI BelievePoorPowerfulEmotionWonderTeachMediaEncouragementThings HappenAcknowledgeGradesClassroomSkepticismThirstVery PowerfulNicheEcologicalStirringPubertySense Of WonderPseudosciencePowerful Emotions Author:Carl Sagan
