JP: you can make an art of daily living so that everything is “art.” There is no separation between art and life, sacred and mundane—it all depends on the awareness, attention we bring to the things we are doing—from cooking, to lovemaking, dressing, writing, walking, talking—finding the patterns that connect.

The general situation is this: as the universal expansion accelerated beyond a certain rate, matter precipitated from, and is, energy that failed to stay in equilibrium.

One of the strongest tools we have our repertoire in convincing others is prototyping and video: turning ideas into high-bandwidth communication artifacts. The goal of a prototype is to sketch an idea and to inspire participation: you are creating a narrative. – aza raskin

“I thought again about my early plan of a new language or writing-system of reason, which could serve as a communication tool for all different nations… If we had such an universal tool, we could discuss the problems of the metaphysical or the questions of ethics in the same way as the problems and questions [...]
