“I mean, I can think of at least a dozen other socially manipulative, intellectually bankrupt writers who’ve perpetuated far worse personal and professional scams, but who my peers will never air out loud because they don’t want to shake the tree and bring down a world of bird shit.”

“Medicine is of all the Arts the most noble; but, owing to the ignorance of those who practice it, and of those who, inconsiderately, form a judgment of them, it is at present far behind all the other arts”
“I know there's a lot of scary stuff in the world right now, but this is something I've been thinking about that I can't get out of my head. As a cast member on a show about tech., our job entails visiting tech. companies/conferences etc. We meet people eager to show off new tech. Often we'll see tech that is scary. I don't mean weapons etc. I mean altering video, tech that violates privacy, stuff with obvious ethical issues.  And we'll bring up our concerns to them. We are realizing that ZERO consideration seems to be given to the ethical implications of tech.  They don't even have a pat rehearsed answer. They are shocked at being asked. Which means nobody is asking those questions. 'We're not making it for that reason but the way people choose to use it isn't our fault. Safeguard will develop.'  But tech. is moving so fast.  That there is no way humanity or laws can keep up. We don't even know how to deal with open death threats online.  Only 'Can we do this?' Never 'should we do this?' We've seen that same blasé attitude in how Twitter or Facebook deal with abuse/fake news.  Tech. has the capacity to destroy us. We see the negative effect of social media & no ethical considerations are going into development of tech. You can't put this stuff back in the box. Once it's out there, it's out there. And there are no guardians. It's terrifying. The end.”

“nascent, adj.: I was guilty, early on, of liking everything you posted, wanting to leave signposts for how much I liked you.”
“Even as a little child, I've always had that comedian kind of attitude.”
“The media says you have a right to know But they make you forget your right to live”
