To rapidly reveal the true character of a person you just met, move them onto an abysmally slow internet connection. Observe.
I believe in the power of storytelling to change the world.
Civilization is a stream with banks. The stream is sometimes filled with blood from people killing, stealing, shouting and doing the things historians usually record, while on the banks, unnoticed, people build homes, make love, raise children, sing songs, write poetry and even whittle statues. The story of civilization is the story of what happened on the banks.
