A few incurable critics will disregard the no criticism rule and will belittle what others suggest. At first such a transgressor should be gently warned; but if they persist, they should be firmly stopped. In one of our sessions, when one participant kept on criticizing, the leader blasted him with: “If I were less vulgar, I might say, “We don’t want your opinions at this time.” What I do say is, “Think up or shut up!

Good teachers know that now, in what’s called the civilized world, the great enemy of knowledge isn’t ignorance, though ignorance will do in a pinch. The great enemy of knowledge is knowingness. It’s the feeling encouraged by TV and movies and the Internet that you’re on top of things and in charge. You’re hip and always know what’s up.

В Spore сюжета тоже нет: во-первых, ничего интереснее эволюции все равно не придумать, а во-вторых, как говорит Райт, ему «важнее создать среду, в которой пользователь сам будет генерировать уникальные истории». Которые и в самом деле генерируются в бешеном темпе: свое первое спаривание с роскошным полосатым головастиком забудешь нескоро — и оно имеет место в первые же три минуты игры. Райт называет Spore «средой высокой нарративной плотности» — причем словосочетание, которое завтра собезьянничает вся индустрия, он на ходу придумал в телефонном разговоре с «Афишей».

Customer communities are more sterile, homogenized and veneer than they will be in the future. When people seeking support, sales, partner, developer and media conversations intersect primarily with one part of the organization that has its own goals and measurements — you have an elephant trying to fit through a keyhole and nobody knows who has the key.

A cafe is a platonic academy… where no lessons are taught, but where one learns to socialize and to be enchanted. One can chat and gossip, but it is forbidden to preach, lecture or instruct.

Фотографировать, правда, нельзя — на каждое фото нужно предварительное согласование, и я пока договорился только про снимок полочки с шампунями в гостинице.
