“One of the greatest threats we face is, simply put, bullshit. We are drowning it. We are drowning in partisan rhetoric that is just true enough not to be a lie; in industry-sponsored research; in social media’s imitation of human connection; in legalese and corporate double-speak. It infects every facet of public life, corrupting our discourse, wrecking our trust in major institutions, lowering our standards for the truth, making it harder to achieve anything.”

“[Apple] could release a revolutionary 60-inch 4K TV for $99 with built-in nanobots to assemble and dispense free smartwatches, and people would complain that it should cost $49 and the nanobots aren’t open enough.”

- Have the Apple press corps become “petulant children”?

“What are the labor laws in a world where workforce is on demand? And an even bigger question is how are we as a society going to create rules, when data, feedback and, most importantly, reputation are part an always-shifting equation?”

“Before 2006, the phrase “zombie apocalypse” had appeared just twice in The New York Times, the first time in a 2003 article about the director Danny Boyle and his horror film “28 Days Later.” But last year it logged 20 appearances — in political columns, in television coverage and in an article about peanut butter-and-pickle sandwiches.”
