"...there's no reason why scholarship can't be as seriously playful as bubble-blowing."
"[Buckminster Fuller] started talking about it far enough afterwards, an audience that was far enough from when they - when the air flow and the Zephyr and these cars in the time period that were made by mainstream automakers. It was far enough in the future, far enough after that point that nobody really bothered to fact-check."

"I would argue that search has made the world a better place. It has done so for reasons that arbitrarily could completely change that - not arbitrarily at all but to completely change how that plays out based upon the needs of profitability. So it's totally unreliable and it has many layers nested underneath that of many ulterior motives nested underneath it."
"We are not evolved really very well to be able to understand or to be able to work with and grapple with technologies that we have."
"I think that as a society as well, we need to be smart about what technologies we take up and how construe progress."
"I select my technology based on what I need and I also don't take up what I don't feel that I need."
"I don't know whether what I do is art. But making things out in the world and having as many conversations as possible."
