Clever of me to become a critic. We critics scrutinize and show off to a higher end. For a greater good. Our manners, our tastes, our declarations are welcomed. Superior for life.

American Critic

Margaret Atwood

We have to rethink our whole energy approach, which is hard to do because we're so dependent on oil, not just for fuel but also plastic. If plastic vanished, there would be total chaos.

Canadian Novelist

P. J. O'Rourke

American Comedian

British Novelist

Fred Ehrsam

Mark Cuban

I am telling you, the world's first trillionaires are going to come from somebody who masters A.I. and all its derivatives and applies it in ways we never thought of.

Anthony Storr

Since I was not able wholly to subscribe to any one set of beliefs advanced by any 'guru' I had to fall back on my own, however derivative.

The discussion of derivatives in the political world has become a zero sum game.

 And what would that even sound like? To be clear, musicians have been taught to be really protective over our IP, and that's for really good reason.
