“If instituted, the TPP's IP regime would trample over individual rights and free expression, as well as ride roughshod over the intellectual and creative commons. If you read, write, publish, think, listen, dance, sing or invent; if you farm or consume food; if you're ill now or might one day be ill, the TPP has you in its crosshairs.” IfsThinkingWritingWellsMightIndividualCreativeRightsExpressionOne DayIntellectualIllFarmsRegimesPublishIndividual RightsFree Expression Author:Julian Assange
“An understandable hunger for potential clients tempts many [career counseling therapists] to overpromise, like creative writing teachers who, out of greed or sentimentality, sometimes imply that all of their students could one day produce worthwhile literature, rather than frankly acknowledging the troubling truth, anathema to a democratic society, that the great writer, like the contented worker, remains an erratic and anomalous event, immune to the methods of factory farming.” WritingSometimesLiteratureCareersCreativeTeacherEventsStudentsProduceOne DayMethodRemainsDemocraticWorkersGreedHungerFactoriesWorthwhileClientsCreative WritingFarmingImmuneTherapistsGreat WritersSentimentalityCounselingDemocratic SocietyFactory FarmingErraticAnathema Author:Alain de Botton

I find that incredibly exciting and conceptually actually remarkable.” MayIdeasNextProcessSoundCreativeOne DaySolutionsExcitingNo IdeaRemarkableCreative ProcessNext DayNaive Author:Jonathan Ive
“My interest, perhaps, came out of the trauma of being a young immigrant in this country and constantly feeling my "resident alien" status. I remember trying to learn English on kindergarten playgrounds. I tried hard to be a convincing American but it was a losing battle. I was labeled weird and that tag never left me - all through high school, I was always the oddball. It was not always an easy path - I just had to tell myself that one day, being on the periphery would become an asset (and I think it finally has, as a creative adult).” ThinkingTryingCountryHardFeelingsSchoolRememberYoungLeftEasyInterestCreativePathBattleOne DayLosingHigh SchoolAdultsTraumaAliensImmigrantsAssetsConvincingTagPlaygroundsResidentsKindergartenPeripheryOddballs Author:Porochista Khakpour
“If you create something, it really should mean something more than that to you. I had to grow into all of this though, through a learning process. I didn't wake up one day and just say, 'Yeah, that's Jlin, there it is'. That's why I said it took my entire life to make this album and it comes back to having that comfort zone - if you don't have one, the more progress you make and the more creative you become over time.” IfsShouldMeanSaidGrowsProcessCreativeProgressComfortOne DayWake UpYeahAlbumsZoneComfort ZoneLearning Process Author:Jlin
