I just had this notion that I wanted to do the most extreme thing I could and I also very consciously wanted to do something that was very different from Mars because we were all very close. ↗

To make democracy work, we must be a notion of participants, not simply observers. One who does not vote has no right to complain. ↗

Not wishing to be disturbed over moral issues of the political economy, Americans cling to the notion that the government is a sort of automatic machine, regulated by the balancing of competing interests. ↗

I don't like the idea of separating life and work. That notion seems dated and a bit alien to me. ↗
