“…if you think that a corporate machine that has fracked the entire history of human existence … can ‘summarize’ human thought, experience and creativity for you… so that there is no longer any need to engage directly and creatively with the sources of human imagination and insight… imagine this: you no longer have dreams or visions or insight. You simply receive, in the morning, a crib sheet about the dreams »you might otherwise have directly experienced. If there’s a slope more deceptive, dangerous, and ever-more slippery… this is it.”
