Felix Stalder, media theorist: "Why do we share cultures? Why do we share language? Because we imitate each other. What keeps us together is that we copy from each other."

"We need to ask a little bit more about Utopia. We need to really figure out what kind of world we'd like to live in.

Brewster Kahler: "Let's build a world that we're actually gonna be proud of. Not just a profitable world for a few very large media."
