  • Everyone who has experienced meaningful creativity is aware of this vivid state of consciousness. Flow state removes your sense of self, immersing you entirely in the value outside of you. Audiences adore this strange sense of something being created by someone in a fit of passion, but somehow magically being designed for the audience simultaneously. When you place the role of value outside of the self, in some space that subsumes both performer and audience, humanity thrives.

  • Increasing the capability of a man to approach a complex problem situation, to gain comprehension to suit his particular needs, and to derive solutions to problems. Increased capability in this respect is taken to mean a mixture of the following: more-rapid comprehension, better comprehension, the possibility of gaining a useful degree of comprehension in a situation that previously was too complex, speedier solutions, better solutions, and the possibility of finding solutions to problems that before seemed insolvable.

  • Twitter is all about interests, not intimacy. According to Golden, Twitter’s graph is based primarily on who you follow (and secondarily on your bio)—not what you tweet. For example, I tweet regularly about sports and have conversations about baseball—but my Twitter followers are mostly in the business sphere. So Twitter’s betting its ad model on the fact that it’s more valuable to have my eyeballs on business tweets than sports tweets. And they’re likely right—that I’m more likely to focus on, comment on, or check out a promoted tweet around a business topic than one around a sports topic. It…

  • In the very poorest countries – including Eritrea, Somalia, Guinea-Bissau, the Central African Republic, Niger, and Madagascar – fewer than 5% are online. And at the very bottom is North Korea, where the country’s oppressive regime restricts the access to the walled-off North Korean intranet Kwangmyong and access to the global internet is only granted to a very small elite.

  • Metcalfe's law states that the value of a telecommunications network is proportional to the square of the number of connected users of the system (n2). First formulated in this form by George Gilder in 1993,[1] and attributed to Robert Metcalfe in regard to Ethernet, Metcalfe's law was originally presented, c. 1980, not in terms of users, but rather of "compatible communicating devices" (e.g., fax machines, telephones).[2] Only later with the globalization of the Internet did this law carry over to users and networks as its original intent was to describe Ethernet connections.[3]

Items such as "Even after…

  • As the world’s information continues to gush towards us, perhaps we should continually reassess our tools for wading through it.
