"Web 2.0 ideas have a chirpy, cheerful rhetoric to them, but I think they consistently express a profound pessimism about humans, human nature and the human future."

- "Advertising is the edge of what people know how to do and of human experience and it explains the latest ways progress has changed us to ourselves."
- "My parents were kind of like me in that they had tons and tons of weird, amazing stuff."
- "Technologists provide tools that can improve people’s lives. But I want to be clear that I don’t think technology by itself improves people’s lives, since often I’m criticized for being too pro-technology. Unless there’s commensurate ethical and moral improvements to go along with it, it’s for naught."
