“As a society, we haven't spent as much time building the citizen Internet.”

“Everything that works on the Internet depends on a lot of people collaborating, but there's also these rules that you see across all the really successful platforms. Many, many, many more people consume the information or benefit from the information than actually contribute the information.”

“If there's one thing government needs desperately, it's the ability to quickly try something, pivot when necessary, and build complex systems by starting with simple systems that work and evolving from there, not the other way around.”

“I am the epitome of a citizen legislator.”

“I ask you, as a citizen, is it a crime to go to the temple? And if I am propagating superstition by going to the temple, then the whole country is propagating superstition.”

“I have been a politically conscious citizen. I've been an artist, a reader, and have been chiselled by that.”
