"I would argue that search has made the world a better place.

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."
