I love information. I want to stay current. I don't want to be under-informed. But I'm busy. Sometimes, I need an instant overview of a situation that I can grasp in a second.

The thing about information is that information is more valuable when people know it. There's an exception for business information and super timely information, but in all other cases, ideas that spread win.

One of the great joys of life is creativity. Information goes in, gets shuffled about, and comes out in new and interesting ways.

Wikipedia, every day, is tens of thousands of people inputting information, and every day millions of people withdrawing that information. It's a perfect image for the fundamental point that no one of us is as smart as all of us thinking together.

I love smart and curious people. I value intelligence in my friends and relationships.

I like facts and data because they help me think clearly, beyond the cultural messages that I ingest unwittingly, and sometimes find myself regurgitating almost unconsciously.

Scientifically, information is a choice - a yes-or-no choice. In a broader sense, information is everything that informs our world - writing, painting, music, money.

I find that a great part of the information I have was acquired by looking up something and finding something else on the way.

Information is power. But like all power, there are those who want to keep it for themselves.

I love getting into people's brains and understanding the creative impetus for something.
