“That's the whole trouble. You can't ever find a place that's nice and peaceful, because there isn't any. You may think there is, but once you get there, when you're not looking, somebody'll sneak up and write "Fuck you" right under your nose. Try it sometime. I think, even, if I ever die, and they stick me in a cemetery, and I have a tombstone and all, it'll say "Holden Caulfield" on it, and then what year I was born and what year I died, and then right under that it'll say "Fuck you." I'm positive, in fact.”
― J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

“You mean old books?"

"Stories written before space travel but about space travel."

"How could there have been stories about space travel before --"

"The writers," Pris said, "made it up.”

“I remember the will said, 'May God thy gold refine.' That must be from the Bible."

“As far as I'm concerned, you can't beat a good whodunnit: the twists and turns, the clues and the red herrings and then, finally, the satisfaction of having everything explained to you in a way that makes you kick yourself because you hadn't seen it from the start.”
― Anthony Horowitz, Magpie Murders

“Ah! Madame, I reserve the explanations for the last chapter.”

“HS is supposedly a story that is also a game. In games, the characters die all the time. How many times did you let Mario fall in the pit before he saved the princess? Who weeps for these Marios. In games your characters die, but you keep trying and trying and rebooting and resetting until finally they make it. When you play a game this process is all very impersonal. Once you finally win, when all is said and done those deaths didn鈥檛 鈥渃ount鈥�, only the linear path of the final victorious version of the character is considered 鈥渞eal鈥�. Mario never actually died, did he? Except the omniscient player knows better. HS seems to combine all the meaningless deaths of a trial-and-error game journey with the way death is treated dramatically in other media, where unlike our oblivious Mario, the characters are aware and afraid of the many deaths they must experience before finally winning the game.”
― Andrew Hussie, Homestuck

“Y'know 鈥� Babylon once had two million people in it, and all we know about 'em is the names of the kings and some copies of wheat contracts . . . and contracts for the sale of slaves. Yet every night all those families sat down to supper, and the father came home from his work, and the smoke went up the chimney,鈥� same as here. And even in Greece and Rome, all we know about the real life of the people is what we can piece together out of the joking poems and the comedies they wrote for the theatre back then.
So I'm going to have a copy of this play put in the cornerstone and the people a thousand years from now'll know a few simple facts about us 鈥� more than the Treaty of Versailles and the Lind-bergh flight.
See what I mean?
So 鈥� people a thousand years from now 鈥� this is the way we were in the provinces north of New York at the beginning of the twentieth century. 鈥� This is the way we were: in our growing up and in our marrying and in our living and in our dying.

“Now I existed solely thanks to the quantum paradox, my brain a collection of qubits in quantum superposition, encoding truths and memories, imagination and irrationality in opposing, contradictory states that existed and didn't exist, all at the same time.”

“Silicon Valley is awash in wooden Montessori toys and shrouded in total screen bans. Parents at work talk about how they don't allow their teens to have mobile phones, which only underscores how well these executives understand the real damage their product inflicts on young minds.”

“I feel sick when I look at the parody synopsis, at the letters from the film company... The novel is 'about' a colour problem. I said nothing in it that wasn't true. But the emotion it came out of was something frightening, the unhealthy, feverish illicit excitement of wartime, a lying nostalgia, a longing for licence, for freedom, for the jungle, for formlessness. It is so clear to me that I can't read that novel now without feeling ashamed, as if I were in a street naked. Yet no one else seems to see it. Not one of the reviewers saw it. Not one of my cultivated and literary friends saw it. It is an immoral novel because that terrible lying nostalgia lights every sentence.”
― Doris Lessing, The Golden Notebook

“But if we can't think ourselves, ... that means we, ourselves, are things that can't think themselves, and so are the proper objects for our thought; we fulfill the game's condition, we are ourselves Other. So if we can think ourselves, we can't; and if we can't; we can. KABLAM, ... There go the old crania.”
― David Foster Wallace, The Broom of the System

“La humanidad ha pensando muy pocas veces en el bienestar colectivo, tanto durante los 煤ltimos siglos como en la actualidad. Entre los malos h谩bitos en que incurrimos, optamos repetidamente por los beneficios a corto plazo antes que por los beneficios a largo plazo.”

“I confini tra materiale e immateriale sono un retaggio del XX secolo. La realt脿, ormai, 猫 mista.

Perch茅 la gente paga migliaia se non milioni di euro per comprare un jpg di una scimmietta? Perch茅 la distinzione tra reale e irreale 猫 un consenso comune.

Ricordi quel quadro di Magritte? Questa non 猫 una pipa. Puoi provare il contrario? No!

E da prima di Aristotele che ci facciamo domande su cosa sia la realt脿. Io sono un costruttivista in questo senso.

La realt脿 猫 un costrutto sociale, non 猫 oggettiva. E se socialmente raggiungiamo il consenso che il Pikachu che vedo dentro Pok茅mon GO 猫 reale, allora lo 猫.”

“Nel travel, perlopi霉 il metaverso 猫 strumentale e non autoreferenziale, come nel gaming.

脠 solo uno strumento.

Non prenoto su Booking ma prenoto su Decentraland. Che differenza fa? Comunque in hotel devo andarci. Cambia solo il mezzo.

脠 come dire che da quando siamo passati da prenotare dal telefono alla email abbiamo dematerializzato il travel.

脠 puro nonsense.”
― Simone Puorto

“La nozione centrale di "viaggio" potrebbe trasformarsi in modi che possiamo solo intravedere oggi.

Pensa a come 猫 cambiata negli anni la connotazione della parola 鈥渁mico鈥�. Fino al 2004, un amico era una persona fisica con cui uscivi nella vita reale. Dopo Facebook, il termine 猫 diventato anche sinonimo di 鈥渃onnessione virtuale鈥�, qualcuno con cui potresti non aver mai scambiato una singola parola.

Quindi chiss脿 cosa significher脿 viaggiare tra 10-15 anni. Possiamo solo speculare, ma, almeno in teoria, le applicazioni del metaverso sono illimitate: vuoi visitare Atlantide, l鈥橝ntica Roma o Marte? Puoi viaggiare nel tempo e nello spazio e sperimentare qualcosa che non esiste nel mondo fisico.

Il travel ha un impatto catastrofico sull'ambiente. Il nostro settore, se continua cos矛, far脿 alzare la temperatura di un grado e mezzo nel giro di 25 anni. Non lo dico io, ma i dati. Solo le emissioni di carbonio causate del volo civile sono cresciute del 75% dagli anni '90.

Trovare alternative praticabili a un settore talmente dannoso per l'ambiente come il nostro non 猫 solo auspicabile.

脠, a questo punto, obbligatorio.”
