Jaron Lanier Quotes

After my mother’s death, I had such difficulty relating to people Picture Quote #1

I’d much rather see a world where, when you make some quirky comment on a blog or news story or you upload a video clip, instead of just a moment of fame for your pseudonym, you’ll get 50 bucks. The first time that happens, you’ll realise that you’re a full-class citizen. You have the potential to make money from the system Picture Quote #1

Web 2.0 ideas have a chirpy, cheerful rhetoric to them, but I think they consistently express a profound pessimism about humans, human nature and the human future Picture Quote #1

America’s Facebook generation shows a submission to standardization that I haven’t seen before. The American adventure has always been about people forgetting their former selves - Samuel Clemens became Mark Twain, Jack Kerouac went on the road. If they had a Facebook page, they wouldn’t have been able to forget their former selves Picture Quote #1

Separation anxiety is assuaged by constant connection. Young people announce every detail of their lives on services like Twitter not to show off, but to avoid the closed door at bedtime, the empty room, the screaming vacuum of an isolated mind Picture Quote #1

Why do people deserve a penny when they update their Facebook status? Because they’ll spend some of it on you Picture Quote #1

The attribution of intelligence to machines, crowds of fragments, or other nerd deities obscures more than it illuminates. When people are told that a computer is intelligent, they become prone to changing themselves in order to make the computer appear to work better, instead of demanding that the computer be changed to become more useful Picture Quote #1

The beauty of HTML was that one-way linking made it very simple to spread because you could put something up and take no responsibility whatsoever. And that creates a society in which people display no responsibility whatsoever. That’s the problem Picture Quote #1

I’ve occasionally been wrong about certain things, which is in a way more delightful than being right Picture Quote #1

I do real paintings, you know. I’m a little messy in the studio, so I’m a bit of a danger. But I just adore it Picture Quote #1

I’m astonished at how readily a great many people I know, young people, have accepted a reduced economic prospect and limited freedoms in any substantial sense, and basically traded them for being able to screw around online Picture Quote #1

The mass culture of childhood right now is astonishingly technical. Little kids know their Unix path punctuation so they can get around the Web, and they know their HTML and stuff. It’s pretty shocking to me Picture Quote #1

People have to be able to make money off their brains and their hearts. Or else we’re all going to starve, and it’s the machines that’ll get good Picture Quote #1

Our times demand rejection of seven word bios Picture Quote #1

People degrade themselves in order to make machines seem smart all the time Picture Quote #1
