“There is the desire of a consumer society to have no learning curves. This tends to result in very dumbed-down products that are easy to get started on, but are generally worthless and/or debilitating.” 1
— Alan Kay, 2013
“We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.” 2
― Kurt Vonnegut, 1962
