- “We are coming to a point where the concern for artificial intelligence is beginning to drown out the human side of the way we live our lives.”
- “So we have these four terms for creativity: invention, discovery, innovation and intuition. Each one, a world in itself and deserving of exploration.”
- “When we make a connection between two different stories that don't seem to fit together, but the human imagination sparks and sees the connection, finding that connection is what innovation is about.”
- “We need to pay more attention to what purposes are in our minds, what values we have, and why would we do it.”
