Whether or not Twitter makes you stupid, it certainly makes some smart people sound stupid.

I'm a Capricorn, actually.

My feeling about the Internet or anything else is that the more it tends to become a cult, the more I want to call it into question.

My dad was an engineer, and he became the CEO of Chevron. His was an engineer's mind-set: Everything's kind of a problem how do you approach the problem?

Julian Assange, the WikiLeaks founder, has on several occasions talked about transparency as an absolute principle. I don't personally believe that.

Everything is accessible to everyone all the time, and I think there are wondrous things to treasure with what the Internet has made available to journalists. But I think it's also had some effects that are less pleasant. It has chipped away at a sense of privacy and secrecy.

You don't want to go around willy-nilly suing news organizations. That's probably self-defeating.
