In practice, socialism didn't work. But socialism could never have worked because it is based on false premises about human psychology and society, and gross ignorance of human economy.
The social and physical construction of suburban America really was quite complex. It was a very elaborate system, and clearly a massive social engineering project that has changed U.S. society enormously.
Social networking technology didn't really exist until 2004-2005. I had the idea to use this technology to bridge this gap between a general interest in addressing social issues and the practical action.
At a minimum the majority of search dollars will flow to a social media model because people care most about what their peers think and the technology is there for that information to be quickly shared on products and services.
The more social media we have, the more we think we're connecting, yet we are really disconnecting from each other.
'6 Times' is an attempt to reinvestigate the social responsibility of sculpture. The body in question is a particular body, but it doesn't really matter whose it is.
It's a dialogue, not a monologue, and some people don't understand that. Social media is more like a telephone than a television.
The reason people need advice on using social media is that they're a much more complex and nuanced way to communicate than a conversation or email.
Teaching has always been, for me, linked to issues of social justice. I've never considered it a neutral or passive profession.

One poll shows that by 61 percent to 29 percent Americans under 40 say that Social Security needs to be fixed.
Social Security not only helps Americans enjoy a secure retirement, it has also kept millions of Americans out of poverty.
I really admire the way the fans have joined me in social justice endeavours and the charitable work that I've been involved in. We've raised over $100,000 on Twitter for our non-profit in Uganda.
To learn about other people is science, to learn to know yourself is intelligence.
A sword in the hands of a drunken slave is less dangerous than science in the hands of the unscrupulous.
My birthday is coming up. I was born on March 5th, 1982. Humans have come a long way since then—nearly 30 years, if my math is good. And my math better be good, because if my math’s no good, what’s that leave? I mean aside from English, art, sc...
It’s been my experience that people always assume that generalized anxiety disorder is preferable to social anxiety disorder, because it sounds more vague and unthreatening, but those people are totally wrong. For me, having generalized anxiety dis...
We look for medicine to be an orderly field of knowledge and procedure. But it is not. It is an imperfect science, an enterprise of constantly changing knowledge, uncertain information, fallible individuals, and at the same time lives on the line. Th...
