Key quotes and takeaways from the show:
Physical violence should be the absolute last resort. Speak up or move away before any situation becomes physical. There is no positive outcome from physical confrontation.
Everyone should learn how to fall properly.
Facebook is creating a “Metaverse” where humans can have experiences that they couldn’t otherwise have in the physical world.
At the start of social media, no one ever asked the important questions like, “how will this impact our mental health?” We just ran with it and have been running with it ever since.
Social media is a mirror to what is inside people’s heads. You can find what you look for… If you look for the bad, you’ll find the bad; if you look for the good, you’ll find the good.
Self-defence starts with awareness.
Sci-Fi predicts the future.
Technology is moving faster than our brains.
We understand a vast amount about physical laws but we understand hardly anything about universal laws (laws of the Universe).
