Julian Assange Random Quote Generator I made this with quotes from speeches and interviews by Julian Assange who is a representative of Wikileaks. It’s a simple and interesting way to see the ideas of Wikileaks and also many of the deep insights that leaked documents (and the subsequent reactions to them) have provided.
This is an ongoing project and will be updated regularly.
Some advice that’s becoming exponentially more relevant each day due to the pace of advances in technology:
Do Not Covet Your Ideas
Give away everything you know, and more will come back to you.
…The problem with hoarding is you end up living off your reserves. Eventually you’ll become stale.
If you give away everything you have, you are left with nothing. This forces you to look, to be aware, to replenish.
Somehow the more you give the more comes back to you
Ideas are open knowledge. Don’t claim ownership. They’re not your ideas anyway, they’re someone else’s. They are out there floating by on the ether.
You just have to put yourself in a frame of mind to pick them up.
From: It’s Not How Good You Are, It’s How Good You Want To Be by Paul Arden.
“I want to set up a new standard: ‘scientific journalism.’ If you publish a paper on DNA, you are required, by all the good biological journals, to submit the data that has informed your research—the idea being that people will replicate it, check it, verify it. So this is something that needs to be done for journalism as well. There is an immediate power imbalance, in that readers are unable to verify what they are being told, and that leads to abuse.”
-Julian Assange (founder of Wikileaks)
