We humans are those simple individual life forms that are beginning to bring technology into our bodies, whether it’s the cell phone or eventually brain/computer interface.

The challenge we have in a democracy is that we can change our minds depending on which party is in power. 

Constrains, willingness to fail, willingness to take big risks and rapid iteration are absolutely fundamental to innovation. 

Peter Diamandis: It's really when you combine AI & Robotics together that you have magic happening.

The issue is learning the best questions to ask and learning how to interact once you have the knowledge to create new knowledge.

Learning facts and figures are going to be best done by technology feeding them to you the way you want to hear them, when you want to hear them. 

We ultimately need to change the global conversation from one of people complaining about problems to a mindset of solving them. 

If you launch with today’s technology by the time you come to market you’re going to be out of business. 

When things change dramatically we resist it at first and then we adapt and then we love the change. 

It’s much safer to be able to be a child and to be a mom.

Ultimately we’re never going to get people used to the rate of exponential change.  Humans will always be somewhat resistant to it.

90% of the news in the newspaper and on television is negative because that’s what we pay attention to.

Energy becomes literally the fuel that allows us to fulfill almost all of our dreams and what I point out to people is we do have a squanderable abundance of energy.  It happens to be sunlight. 

Technology has a scarcity-liberating capability.  It takes that which is scarce and can make it abundant.

We will have abundance in terms of knowledge and equality and we won’t have the bottom billion anymore, but what I call the rising billion.  

And as someone who has a really terrible driving record I can't wait for autonomous cars to come out.

A lot of the great successes in life were overnight successes after 10 years of hard work.

Taking risks doesn’t mean being stupid.  It really involves taking measured risks and really understanding how to mitigate those risks in one way or another. 

If you’re looking for breakthroughs, you need to be willing to take huge risks and to back non-traditional approaches.  

Chris Anderson's community is aimed at demonetizing a number of industries.  

As humans we think linearly, but the world is changing exponentially.
