We're democratizing the tools of creativity.

We appear to be programmed with the idea that there are 'things' outside of our self, and some are conscious, and some are not.

To transcend means to "go beyond," but this need not compel us to an ornate dualist view that regards transcendent levels of reality (e.g., the spiritual level) to be not of this world. We can "go beyond" the "ordinary" powers of the material world through the power of patterns. Rather than a materialist, I would prefer to consider myself a "patternist." It's through the emergent powers of the pattern that we transcend.

We only have to capture 1/10,000th of the solar energy landing on earth to completely satisfy all our energy needs.

A successful person isn't necessarily better than her less successful peers at solving problems; her pattern-recognition facilities have just learned what problems are worth solving.

The telephone is virtual reality in that you can meet with someone as if you are together, at least for the auditory sense.

Doing real world projects is, I think, the best way to learn and also to engage the world and find out what the world is all about.
