“The Culture of Generosity describes what I see as the loveliest manifestation of social interactions online. People are incredibly generous and selfless online, and that is what attracted me to the internet in the first place. It is full of web sites that people put up, discographies of their favorite bands, essays they’ve written, the syllabi of university classes, photos of themselves, their families, and real artwork. It’s amazing, and inexhaustible!”

“When the Dalai Lama was a child, studying the doctrines of Tibetan Buddhism, his teachers explained that the moon emits its own light. But one day they brought him a telescope. He looked at the moon under magnification and saw that its surface contained shadows. He had made a discovery: The moon’s light comes from elsewhere. It must come from the sun. The doctrine was directly at odds with what he could perceive with his own senses and a scientific instrument. What to do? Simple: Change the doctrine.”
