"The deep structure of future human connection is being contrived, now, on the web, and it will slowly unseat other
systems, like an oak tree growing in a churchyard, encroaching on the cathedral's foundations with roots that are deeper and stronger than artifice can achieve. This is in
us, it is in the wiring, and social tools are allowing us to rechannel our ancient tribal past in a post-industrial future.
Nothing can stop it.”

learning– People are better at learning when they can
figure it out for themselves
