1. "This is what those elves in hyperspace are trying to push us toward. Remember how I said, they sing objects into existence? ...It's that in order to get the ambiguity out of language we are going to have to go to a wider bandwidth. And the wider bandwidth is visual." (28:55)
2. "The only way you can transcend the ambiguity of language is if you turn it into something beheld." (31:30)
3. "And notice that when we talk about language, our notions of clarity, there it is, our notions of clear speaking are all visual metaphors. If you think you think you really understand somebody, then you say, 'I see what you mean'." (32:12)

Stephen Downes: personal education
This post is a collection of quotes from Stephen Downes about personal education in a lecture with the Chang School in 2015. I recommend watching to the interview at this link. There are 8 quotes listed below chronologically.
2. "The right model is to stop attempting to design learning and education and technology for people, and to create mechanisms that enable them to do it themselves." (5:08)
3. "We have to look at learning as something that is not done for us but is something that we do... We have to look at education as a reclamation project of owning our own learning again." (6:17)
4. "Personalized is something that people to do for you. Personal is something you do for yourself." (7:24)
5. "[Personal] is built and based on your own needs and desires and its self-organizing."(7:59)
6. "Reclaimed learning is network learning. Instead of all meeting together in a common institution, in a learning management system, we connect directly to each other peer to peer in networks of our own design, our own creation." (8:46)
7. "Think of [collectivism] as the projection of one's own neural network out into the social network." (11:59)
8. "[Cooperation] is a meeting of people who exchange mutual value but they come from a different place. They're trying to do different things. They're interacting in a syntactic way when each person has their own content, their own idea of reality, their own way of thinking, their own things that they want to do." (14:30)

Henry Jenkins: participatory culture
This post is a collection of quotes from Henry Jenkins about participatory culture in a lecture with the India Culture Lab in 2015. I recommend watching the interview at this link. There are 4 quotes listed below chronologically.
1. "It actually goes back to the 1920's, this idea that a fan community can be a visible participant in what the story's about..." (1:58)
3. "...we are seeing that the ability of remix, to recirculate stories of popular culture is making a difference in struggles for social justice and equality around the world. And those stories become really powerful tools for changing the hearts and minds of society." (1:00:29)
4. "We need a lot of models for what we mean by co-creation. We should be skeptical of each new model figuring out which way they're encouraging equitable stakes and which ways they're not. And we can't celebrate any given model right away but we all should be open to seeing how things play out and what emerges from those models as they're taking shape." (1:27:00)

2. "You can either manipulate physical media that other people did and kind of make something new out of it. Or you can manipulate ideas and to me its very similar." (23:44)
3. "I know I'm sampling. I'm blatant. I'm as obvious as I can be. But at the same time you can really make new music out of samples..." (25:46)

Colin Wilson and the unknown
Colin Wilson (1931-2013) was an English writer best known for his contributions to existentialism and philosophy. The rest of this post is some quotes from Wilson.
Unknown
"Boredom is basically a feeling of narrowness, and surely a narrow vision is bound to be less true than a broad one?" (The Misfits: A Study of Sexual Outsiders, 1988)
"The heart, oddly enough, seems to be the essential organ concerned. When we are in a hurry or doing something we dislike, we clench the heart, exactly like clenching a fist and nothing can get in. When we are filled with a sense of multiplicity and excitement we somehow 'open' the heart and allow reality to flow in." (Beyond the Occult, 1988)

Terence McKenna: Timewave - internet quotes
This post is a collection of quotes about the internet from Terence McKenna in a бor video titled Timewave. I recommend listening to the video at this link. There are 4 quotes listed below chronologically.

2. "Collage is a unique, 20th century form of art. And it deconstructs culture and it has all kinds of adumbrations and echoes and resonances built into it. Hypertextualizing collage through image mapping to built vast multi-leveled hyper collage-like environments is something I want to do." (1:06:07)
3. "You should do your version. Everybody should understand, you have this little place where you can build and display your dreams... There is this place now which is a window into your soul that you can put online. And my website will become more and more me until to will be more me than I am." (1:06:55)
4. "This becomes an enormous database for learning, for understanding, for feeling what it is to be human." (1:08:44)

Terence McKenna: Language Can Do Anything
This post is a collection of quotes from Terence McKenna in a We Plants Are Happy Plants video titled Language Can Do Anything. I recommend listening to the video at this link. There are 3 quotes listed below chronologically.
2. "Language can do anything... Let us build a ladder of words, an analogical engine, a bark of verses, a wagon of phrases... And these kind of structures are really to my mind ultimately to be seen as words." (4:02)
3. "...we must receive, transmit and conquertize the word in order to create a forward escape out of the contradictions in the world that are the legacy of bad language that's brought us this far. Its a healing of language" (5:09)
