"Pokud vím, tak nikdo na světě - a to jsem roky pátral v záznamech a zaměstnával agenty, co mi pomáhali - ještě neprodělal peníze podceňováním inteligence velké masy obyčejných lidí. Nikdo tak ani neprohrál volby do veřejného úřadu. Chybné je vždycky dělat opak. Jelikož obyčejní lidé jsou schopni mluvit a vnímat a v mnoha případech dokonce i číst a psát, tak se předpokládá, že mají v hlavách ideje a že baží po dalších. Takový předpoklad je ovšem pošetilý. Oni ideje nesnáší, protože z idejí jsou nesví."

And this moves us very quickly toward a world in which the Internet is showing us what it thinks we want to see, but not necessarily what we need to see. As Eric Schmidt said, "It will be very hard for people to watch or consume something that has not in some sense been tailored for them. ..."

"... What they discovered was that in our Netflix queues there's this epic struggle going on between our future aspirational selves and our more impulsive present selves. You know we all want to be someone who has watched "Rashomon," but right now we want to watch "Ace Ventura" for the fourth time. So the best editing gives us a bit of both. It gives us a little bit of Justin Bieber and a little bit of Afghanistan. It gives us some information vegetables; it gives us some information dessert. ..."

"... And the thing is, we've actually been here before as a society. In 1915, it's not like newspapers were sweating a lot about their civic responsibilities. Then people noticed that they were doing something really important. That, in fact, you couldn't have a functioning democracy if citizens didn't get a good flow of information, that the newspapers were critical because they were acting as the filter, and then journalistic ethics developed. It wasn't perfect, but it got us through the last century. ..."
