One of the pervasive risks that we face in the information age, as I wrote in the introduction, is that even if the amount of knowledge in the world is increasing, the gap between what we know and what we think we know may be widening.

I think people feel like there are all these things in our lives that we don't really have control over.

I guess I don't like the people in politics very much, to be blunt.

If you're keeping yourself in the bubble and only looking at your own data or only watching the TV that fits your agenda then it gets boring.

People gravitate toward information that implies a happier outlook for them.

We're living in a world where Google beats Gallup.

You get steely nerves playing poker.
