Don’t have to elevate or project or photoshop.  - Reverence for the base model.<br>- Technology does train us, regardless of what we think about that.<br>- Have an understanding of the basis of what we have as a human.<br>- We’ve lost the drive to imagine apart from entertainment and convenience.<br>- We don’t have a vision of what a profile of a graduate looks like.<br>- We need imagination for education, housing, energy.. the areas that would benefit ordinary people the most  - 9 beatitudes of media technology<br>- “Let’s just wait until the data is conclusive”<br>- Kayfabe vs. Collective journey<br>- Jerry Springer - Brilliant politician in Cincinnati.<br>- Personal brand prohibited him from being a good politician<br>- Hero’s journey is tiring.<br>- Collective journey doesn’t have heroes.
