“Intelligence is aliveness, it is spontaneity.<br />
It is openness, it is vulnerability.<br />
It is impartiality, it is the courage<br />
to function without conclusions. ---<br />
To function without a conclusion<br />
is to function in innocence.<br />
There is no security;<br />
you may go wrong,<br />
you may go astray.”<br />

„In the search for<br />
sharing,<br />
for “friends,”<br />
there is the<br />
challenge to be<br />
authentic and faithful,<br />
and not give in<br />
to the illusion <strong>of</strong><br />
constructing an<br />
artificial public pr<strong>of</strong>ile<br />
for oneself.‟<br />
-Pope Benedict,<br />
giving a measured blessing<br />
to the use <strong>of</strong> social media
Using<br />
technology<br />
to battle<br />
depression<br />
by<br />
abstaining
“Socrates believed in<br />
dancing every morning.<br />
We could do more<br />
for public health<br />
if the government<br />
spent a fraction<br />
<strong>of</strong> what it spends<br />
[fighting depression ]<br />
on<br />
promoting dancing.”
