Ethan – here is what i was trying to do. i screwed up. i’m trying again. we need to move away from the model of what we think we have – of what it means to be a good citizen. my no good – bad day – on the internet – pails in comparison to the ..hate we share on the internet. we should be looking at the internet and saying – is this what we wanted.

Alex – 11 yr old son stressed about school. the more i failed the closer i got to my profession. i want my kids not to fear failure.. i want them to learn how to fail successfully. i learned how to question things and not take them as normal. (art by kids – lovely)

Richard – orchard of understanding.. i know i’m not bright.. so things can come in. i can see patterns. secret to success: i want to have interesting days. a joke is the opposite of expectations.. a radical alternative. opposites of things are amazing. the unexpected.

i know i'm not bright

– – – – –

Rachel – a brand that is constantly changing. rewrite the rules for making things – per square foot. all we are is a dating service. how can we make a store – a living discovery platform. –i’m obsessed with this idea of democratizing discovery. how can we democratize in real life – offline.

Guy – everything is connected. smaller is smarter

Irwin – human beings – the only species that go to conferences. after i lost 2 friends in 9 11 – i was convicted – we need less groupiness. gratitude/hope/a-sense-of-belonging. if you can connect the tree of knowledge with the tree of life – it’s not a fall for you.

not one of the messages that people left – who died in 9 11 – was angry.

For the first time in history, sept 11th gave us recordings of people’s last words. Not one voice was angry.

Eileen – do you think you have a book in you..? filter as value. book as filter

– – – – –

Haydn – i realized i was part of the noise. learn to reason for the common good.

i realized i was part of the noise

– – – – –

Cheryl – i believe this audience has the capacity to hear it – and not just listen. things we need to talk about that most walk away from.new way of being with problems. questioning what we think we know. the case for uncertainty. for survivors of rape – the battlefield is intimacy. every kiss. why aren’t you over this yet. profoundly ignorant. this might be as good as it gets.. not something i wanted to live with. i just had to know that i didn’t know. and that gave me enough space to breathe. i had only grim determination to offer. acceptance is a present tense activity. deepeningn the capacity of the system to heal itself. no one can predict the ferocity of the human heart. black swan ness.

Elana – there is control over disease in sharing our data. i’m just a kid. i’m no genius. but i had the resources to do something. take control of your own disease. so yeah.

– – – – –

Joy – one of my desires is that more people would actually see what’s in front of them. no was a motivator for me. i think praise is overrated. eminently trainable. not everyone wants to be publicly known. i want a disguise – i have enough friends. my goal in life is to simplify – so we add that to the list. touch is very important and we keep forgetting that part of the interface. you have to keep breaking the rules and move on. try things.

John – narrative + creation spaces = movement. story: self-contained, about me/them, not about you. narrative: open ended, resolution hinges on you. narratives need to be opportunity based rather than threat based.

– – – – –

Thysson – if you have something that doesn’t work – you should work to change it.

– – – – –

Michael – when asked – what do you do – i make people unhappy – enough to make a change – use the pain. burn it as fuel. for light and warmth. not all of us who wander are lost.

– – – – –

David M S – mit: place for dreaming. sierra leone: we have learned dependency. how to create for something that constantly changes. we’re not waiting for people to grow up, to get a degree, we’re simply asking – what is your moonshot. dreaming is free. i’m dreaming of a day..

Walt – i got invited because of my mediocre rise. overnight success takes years. brand – what you stand for. pay attention to others – don’t be afraid to iterate on their ideas. (diff between innovation and invention)

Umberto – snippets. because all of our narratives are infinitely nuanced. it wasn’t as if i was unoccupied… i was busy dodging the draft, selling drugs, and gambling.i ate it up. (suggested book reads) & i had this moment where: how come nobody told me about this. i had a feeling/glimpse into a life of a person i wanted to be. and i was afraid i would never live it. we can only be stronger as a community – when we realize we each come with unique inquisitiveness. as – for alternative space.
