Tim Pool: After a while I realized, maybe the best thing to do is document this as truthfully as possible so we could have just transparency. I am an activist for transparency. I think information wants to be free, it deserves to be free, and the only way we are going to have a functioning government for the people is if people can see and understand why decisions are made. I hope I am contributing to that.
Jose Saramago: You're right, our problem is that we're blind.
Tim Pool: I turn my camera on and I just talk and everyone tells me it's an amazing narration, and I kind of don't think so. I am kind of just confused by it.
Lee Siegel: 1. Not everyone has something valuable to say. 2. Few people have anything original to say.
Jonathan Franzen: The technological development that has done lasting harm of real social significance -- the development that, despite the continuing harm it does, you risk ridicule if you publicly complain about today -- is the cell phone.
Bruce Schneier: Will not wearing a life recorder be used as evidence that someone is up to no good?
Philip Hensher: I wish there was some less feeble response to this constant, exhausting, draining surveillance we live under.
Douglas Haddow: We are a lost generation, desperately clinging to anything that feels real, but too afraid to become it ourselves. We are a defeated generation, resigned to the hypocrisy of those before us, who once sang songs of rebellion and now sell them back to us. We are the last generation, a culmination of all previous things, destroyed by the vapidity that surrounds us.
