01 / belief
“I saw that article last week on this topic, and I realized that the guy who’s writing it is largely just goofing, but I hope nobody takes it seriously.”
02 / uncertainty
“I don’t know. A lot of this kind of philosophizing can just have the effect of pulling you back, zooming out from the day-to-day particulars of your life, and thinking about things in a more detached, let’s say, maybe calmer frame of mind.”
03 / belief
“I think actual real-world examples of that happening are somewhat few and far between.”
04 / evaluation
“We think of Victorian novels as a kind of stodgy, old-school way of writing, but he was all over the map in terms of nutty, random things that he would put into his books.”
05 / evaluation
“A lot of it, I think, seems to be well intentioned, but somebody was pointing out to me a little while back that the Golden Gate Bridge was built in a shockingly brief period of time compared to almost anything that we try to build today.”
06 / preference
“I think that the nonmonetary applications of distributed ledgers seem to be more interesting than just making money.”
07 / preference
“Well, they’re certainly of their time, but I find that of all of the science fiction writers that I read when I was a kid, his stuff has stayed with me more than others because he had this knack for capturing little moments, little human interactions, and images that produced really vivid memories in my head that are still with me.”
08 / prediction
“I think we’re actually living through the worst-case scenario right now, so look about you, and that’s what we’ve got.”
09 / recommendation
“I think people just have to be diligent and be aware of what’s happening in that area and push back against it.”
10 / prediction
“Dystopia is an interesting idea because a lot of times, what science fiction writers are really doing is writing a kind of metaphorical story about the present.”
11 / evaluation
“I think that part of it begins with empathy because, in order to tell somebody a thing, you need to know and understand what it’s like to not already know that thing, which seems kind of obvious.”
12 / recommendation
“I’ve been talking about a really interesting book called A Culture of Fact by Barbara Shapiro, which is a sort of academic-style book that discusses how the idea of facts entered our minds in the first place because we didn’t always have it.”
13 / evaluation
“I would say underrated because it’s got just crazy, random stuff in it that you almost can’t believe that you’re reading it.”
