“Kiedy człowiek staje się zbiorem danych na stronie takiej jak Facebook, zostaje zredukowany. Wszystko się kurczy: indywidualny charakter, przyjaźnie, język, wrażliwość. W pewnym sensie jest to doświadczenie transcendentne: tracimy nasze ciała, zapominamy o naszych chaotycznych uczuciach, pragnieniach i lękach.”

“Od 20 lat zastanawiam się nad tym, czego pragną ludzie. I dochodzę do wniosku, że wcale nie chcą wolności. Chcą, by ktoś nimi pokierował. Dlatego myślę, że populizm nie może być jedynie domeną prawicowych polityków. Jeśli druga strona będzie stawiać tylko na racjonalną politykę, to przegra.”
