Helmut Newton. Study for voyeurism, Los Angeles 1989 (via The Best of Helmut Newton. Selections from His Photographic Work)
Don’t ever forget that you’re a citizen of this world, and there are things you can do to lift the human spirit, things that are easy, things that are free, things that you can do every day. Civility, respect, kindness, character. You’re too good for schadenfreude, you’re too good for gossip and snark, you’re too good for intolerance — and since you’re walking into the middle of a presidential election, it’s worth mentioning that you’re too good to think people who disagree with you are your enemy.

“we have to connect our attention to our intention and be more aware of how what we’re actively doing relates (or often doesn’t) to what we need.” —
Net Smart offers up a set of five literacies Rheingold sees as important: attention, participation, collaboration, “crap detection,” and network smarts. As we’ve become more sophisticated in the ways we use the web, we need to adjust how we use it, being able to tell fact from rumor and able to call on the skills and resources of a community to help answer our questions.
What distinguishes Rheingold’s work here is the attention to, well, attention. He’s talking about metacognition, or making ourselves more aware of what we’re doing online.

«For me, when I do something, whatever it is, the doing of it is much more interesting than the other side.»

“tutti i sentimenti e i valori sono così estremi perché primordiali, non ancora intaccati dalla «civiltà»: il desiderio e l’odio, l’attrazione e l’ambizione, la lealtà e il tradimento, la giustizia e la vendetta.” — «Il trono di spade», un fantasy imponente
