At this point, the state of the online media market is immature enough that they are still a physical goods company and a company that is driven by great engineering and integration. They are still...

With the media how it is these days, people expect to know everything. I don’t talk about my girlfriend because essentially she doesn’t want to be talked about.

The media dwells mostly on negativity.

The media is the right arm of anarchy.

American journalism (like the journalism of any other country) is predominantly paltry and worthless. Its pretensions are enormous, but its achievements are insignificant.

It is the nature of physics to hear the loudest of mouths over the most comprehensive ones.

Robbed of a rapt audience, advertisers know that influencing how you spend what to do while depends on having some control over how you spend the resources in your head.

I think the media’s a little frightened of women.

As women demanded access to power, the power structure used the beauty myth materially to undermine women’s advancement.

The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum—even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives...

The wrong information will only lead to deformation
