My current goal is to change the way we think about antitrust and anti-monopoly.

I tend to think that knowledge is preceded by power instead of the other way around.

I think the reason you see so many people dropping out of politics is because there's an anti-poetic strain in modern political discourse.

There are some libertarians who are really anarchists, but others are more concerned about the distant relationship between themselves and power. They mistakenly think they want to get rid of government when instead they might just want to have greater access to power.

I think a lot of the reason people are attracted to the Keystone pipeline is because at least we're doing something. There's a fear that society will collapse if it's not acting. To contrast those actions with other actions is important in making it feel plausible. Maybe we must have the size of the dream meet the size of the threat.

Public education is so important - resisting privatization and charterization, high-stakes testing, and defunding. It's important for New York, but it's also important for the country.

New York City is one of the most vulnerable cities in the world to climate change, so I see Keystone as the central threat to New York.
