1. Human beings are broken. They cannot be fixed by either technology or ideology.
2. Human beings are creative. They will use technologies in ways that we cannot predict.
3. Human beings are apes. They are collaborative, competitive, and tribal.
4. Human beings transform and are transformed by their technologies.
5. Every tool can be a weapon. Every weapon can be a tool.
6. You might not be interested in technology but technology is Interested in you.
7. Conversely, you might not be interested in politics but politics is interested in you.
8. We hope not because we believe that we can fix human beings but rather because human beings excel at making new mistakes – or what some call “change”.
