“The point of modern propaganda isn't only to misinform or push an agenda. It is to exhaust your critical thinking, to annihilate truth.”
Garry Kasparov

“To become good at anything you have to know how to apply basic principles. To become great at it, you have to know when to violate those principles.”
Garry Kasparov, Deep Thinking: Where Machine Intelligence Ends and Human Creativity Begins

“There is no one that can share your responsibility. It it is your responsibility you must carry it on and you must be responsible for your actions. At the end of the day we all are being challenged, sooner or later, by our destiny. And it's up to us to make all the difference in this life. If not you, who else?”
Garry Kasparov
