“I think functioning as a business manager can be a hindrance to having a real dialogue with the artist. I do think that artists need good lawyers and accountants, because they're dealing with serious money. But an artist who stands behind a manager? That's a little different. I think that can be a bad buffer.” ThinkingNeedsLittlesDifferentRealArtistBehindsSeriousLawyerDialogueManagersAccountantsHindranceGood Lawyer Author:Larry Gagosian

“Of course there are collaborations. But in official meetings with Western diplomats from the US and the European Union, the major issues of our relationships are simply not discussed. The topics are on climate change or any other issues they want us to agree with them on. But they never discuss how we could develop an equal relationship. They should stop using pompous orchestrated summits and begin a serious dialogue with small meetings.” WantShouldCoursesIssuesSeriousEqualMajorsAgreeUnionsMeetingsClimateWesternClimate ChangeDialogueOfficialsCollaborationOur RelationshipTopicsWant USummitEuropean UnionDiplomatsPompous Author:Yoweri Museveni
“The so-called resistance is very broad and we don't agree on everything, but there's a moment of opportunity when people are paying attention. It's time for us to really get serious about political education and about our own moral education in this moment, and to seize this opportunity to organize and be in deep dialogue with a whole lot of people who never even thought about being politically engaged or active before. There's real hope there and real opportunity.” PeopleRealMomentsPoliticalOpportunityAttentionMoralSeriousAgreeDialoguePay AttentionOrganize Author:Michelle Alexander
“The problem with natural language processing and the thing that really holds the technology back, is that when it crashes and burns, it's horrific. I think we would be in a position to really take a serious look at it, once two things happen. The interesting thing about a dialogue-choice system is that we've devoted so much into all kinds of other systems for processing, and dialogue choices use zero processing. So suddenly, if you want to have a great natural language processor, you need to dial down your graphics to make it work.” ThinkingKindProblemChoicesLanguageNaturalInterestingTechnologySeriousThings HappenDialogueAll KindsCrashHorrific Author:Greg Zeschuk
