"Today, the liberty that we call privacy is being championed by a new generation. Not yet born on 9/11, they have spent their entire lives under the omnipresent spectre of this surveillance. These young people who have known no other world have dedicated themselves to imagining one, and it's their political creativity and technological ingenuity that gives me hope." - Edward Snowden, Permanent Record, 2019
"Being 'different' causes a reaction. Gender, orientation, race, disability... the list is long. You can't ignore or avoid this reaction. Instead, lean into it. Don't hide, deny, or moderate who you are. Authenticity earns respect. So be your authentic self." - Reggie Fils-Amié, Disrupting The Game, 2022
"The year is 2029. The machines will convince us that they are conscious, that they have their own agenda worthy of our respect. They'll embody human qualities and claim to be human, and we'll believe them." - Our Lady Peace, Spiritual Machines, 2000
