"I wrote my thesis on the counter-culture of the Sixties in America, when absolutely everything was being questioned and challenged, and there was an “Us vs Them” narrative, kind of like what is occurring now and how technology in Silicon Valley is. It was like the young start-ups versus the giant moguls."

"Private companies–because they can hire super-talented people–deploy technological advances way before regulators understand whether it’s good or bad. That is the disconnect."
