My favorite quotes:

"Science has gone from being an optimistic source to a pessimistic source. Politics has gone from being dynamic to being static and managerial. And tech has brought in a system of feedback management that’s so seductive that we’re trapped.“

"People want a big narrative. What people don’t want are rants and columns. They want a story out of which you can draw ideas."
