People have to be able to make money off their brains and their hearts. Or else we're all going to starve, and it's the machines that'll get good.

An intelligent person feels guilty for downloading music without paying the musician, but they use this free-open-culture ideology to cover it.

A remarkable thing about the Silicon Valley culture is that its status structure is so based on technical accomplishment and prowess.

Humans change themselves through technology.

I would argue that among musicians who work in technology today, the level of technological sophistication probably exceeds that of military programs, to be blunt. They are just really smart people attracted to making strange new sounds.

We should talk about the ultimate cause of war. It's a question we should never stop asking, because if we do, there's a chance, however remote, that we might miss an opportunity to reduce the occurrence of war.
Jaron Lanier
What does it mean to not be alone? I've approached that question through music, technology, writing and other means.

A file-sharing service and a hedge fund are essentially the same things. In both cases, there's this idea that whoever has the biggest computer can analyze everyone else to their advantage and concentrate wealth and power. It's shrinking the overall economy. I think it's the mistake of our age.

When developers of digital technologies design a program that requires you to interact with a computer as if it were a person, they ask you to accept in some corner of your brain that you might also be conceived of as a program.

Pop culture has entered into a nostalgic malaise. Online culture is dominated by trivial mashups of the culture that existed before the onset of mashups, and by fandom responding to the dwindling outposts of centralized mass media. It is a culture of reaction without action.

A market economy cannot thrive absent the well-being of average people, even in a gilded age.

After my mother's death, I had such difficulty relating to people.

Advertisers and marketers should be looking to bring new experiences to different parts of the brain. It's a more profound idea than just dropping a billboard into a video game.
Jaron Lanier
If we allow our self-congratulatory adoration of technology to distract us from our own contact with each other, then somehow the original agenda has been lost.
