Everyone has something to work out
Everyone shares a blind spot
If an end to ignorance is expected
Can you lead by example?

And everything always finds it's place As the water comes rushing through It fallows along the same river bed A few changes in it's position will occure But it's still fallows the same path

It is in the very nature of things That there are loops and repeats And i'm just a stick Drifting with the current Awaiting my landing Whenever that may be I gave up on asking

Then I gave up on wanting Growning so tired of never getting And getting is just having Something I don't need Cuz I have what I have Thats all there will ever be

Everythings so green

The young are still the enemies of uniformity, and the Internet, as it extends its reach into all the nooks and crannies of our days, is looking more and more like an enormous conduit of conventionality. What are Facebook and Google but giant institutions, arms of the new establishment? What are smartphones if not high-tech leashes? Some kind of rebellion seems in order. -- Nick Carr, Get on my lawn, kids, June 02, 2011

There is no such thing as a person whose real self you like every particle of. This is why a world of liking is ultimately a lie. But there is such a thing as a person whose real self you love every particle of. And this is why love is such an existential threat to the techno-consumerist order: it exposes the lie. -- Johathan Franzen, Liking Is for Cowards, New York Times, June 29, 2011

The core function of memory is to imagine the future. Memory is not designed to perfectly replay past events; it is to flexibly construct future scenarios. -- Tali Sharot, The Optimism Bias, Time, June 6, 2011

A project is sustainable if it is cheap enough to be the first of a series continuing indefinitely into the future. A project is unsustainable if it is so expensive that it cannot be repeated without major political battles. A sustainable project marks the beginning of a new era. An unsustainable project marks the end of an old era. --Freeman Dyson, The Sun, the Genome, and the Internet, p34

I am only me for practical purposes. -- Julian Baggini, The Ego Trick, New Scientist, March 12, 2011

News has to be subsidized because society’s truth-tellers can’t be supported by what their work would fetch on the open market... Markets supply less reporting than democracies demand. -- Clay Shirky, Why We Need the New News Environment to be Chaotic, July 9, 2011.

I’d always been a closet lame person. I think I became cooler when I stopped trying to be cool. -- Amanda Hocking, Storyseller, NYT, June 19, 2011

It is said that we are all three different people: the person we think we are (the one we have invented), the person other people think we are (the impression we make) and the person we think other people think we are (the one we fret about). -- Stephen Bayley, The Gentle Art of Selling Yourself, March 4, 2007

In attempting to construct such machines we should not be irreverently usurping His power of creating souls, any more than we are in the procreation of children. Rather we are, in either case, instruments of His will providing mansions for the souls that He creates. -- Alan Turing, Computing Machinery and Intelligence, 1950, p. 444.

Some luck lies in not getting what you thought you wanted but getting what you have, which once you have got it you may be smart enough to see is what you would have wanted had you known. -- Garrison Keillor, Lake Wobegone Days, (1985), p. 337

Is it a fact - or have I dreamt it - that, by means of electricity, the world of matter has become a great nerve, vibrating thousands of miles in a breathless point of time? Rather, the round globe is a vast head, a brain, instinct with intelligence! - Nathanial Hawthorne, The House of the Seven Gables. Chapter 17.

I'm an inventor, and I started looking at long-term trends because an invention has to make sense in the world in which it was finished, not the world in which it started. - Ray Kurzweil,BrainMail, September 2007
In civilizations without boats, dreams dry up, espionage takes the place of adventure, and the police take the place of pirates. -- Michel Foucault, Of Other Spaces, 1967

To create what the customer wants.

Sometimes this will mean simple customization: You want a vacation experience unlike anyone else's. Sometimes this will mean mass customization: You want a pair of jeans that fit your unusual leg shape at the same price as a regular pair of jeans. Sometimes mass customization is not what you want. The huge fashion industry makes its fortune on people's dependable desire for wearing what everyone else is wearing. Sometimes what you want is semicustomized: You read the New York Times because everyone else is reading it, but you don't read the sports section or the obits. You want not the Daily Me, but the Daily You and Me, the publication your 12 closest friends read.
A huge tide of information and trust must flow between users and creators in order to create exactly what the customer wants. The interface technology must be clear and simple for people to convey their desires. The nightmarish logistics of delivery and production must be managed with exactness. The most difficult aspect of this mission may not be the order form but the manufacturing; anything that involves atoms is much harder to customize than first thought. But any solutions surely involve networked technologies.
