Sol Luckman
“We need to recognize that social media is far more than just a harmless distraction or handy tool.

Rather, it has been brilliantly architected as a comprehensive net or web for the mind that can be used to alter our thoughts and behaviors, and from there redirect the creative focus of our attention, usually without our even realizing it.”
Sol Luckman, Get Out of Here Alive: Inner Alchemy & Immortality

“Social engineering tactics succeed only if the situation allows defaults to fire unchallenged. Whoever engineers the situation engineers the outcome.”
Timsux Wales
