Stefanie Wuschitz (Miss Baltazar's Laboratory) at Transmediale 2011 about her experience in international hacker spaces.
"Hackerspace members think of themselves as being extremely open-minded and welcoming, but they're just not. It's a very elite group [whose members] distinguish themselves very strongly from others with certain codes. [They do so unwillingly], but the problem is that they don't acknowledge that [fact]."

You might have seen this video of an epic Sim City 3000 creation... but this interview with the creator has some additonal gems:
"There are a lot of problems in the city hidden under the illusion of order and greatness ... The ironic thing about it is the sims in Magnasanti tolerate it. They don’t rebel or cause revolutions and social chaos. No one considers challenging the system by physical means ... They have all been successfully dumbed down, sickened with poor health, enslaved and mind-controlled just enough to keep this system going for thousands of years. 50,000 years to be exact. They are all imprisoned in space and time."

“— Seperis [liberally quoted]The idea that it's easier to [wait for people to] die than change says a lot, and none of it comforting, about how little potential we see in ourselves, how rigid we think we are, trapped in some kind of evolutionary psychology/sociological hell where progress is dependent on those who know perfectly well that all they have to do is be loud enough, rigid enough, difficult enough that they can hold up movement simply by standing still. ...Change is what happens when we stop waiting.We've had too many generations of casualties already; no one, no one should have it demanded of them to be a sacrifice to the idea [that] the only way to move [is] slowly.”

“ In situations where almost every outcome has been decided in advance according to a set of impersonal and predefined rules and regulations, the only way in which people are able to gain some control over their lives is to exploit 'zones of uncertainty' where the outcomes are not already known. ”— Bureaucracy - Wikipedia

“ Das Diktum des sozialen Geschlechtes, des Rollenzwangs und der festgelegten Verhaltensmuster gilt ebenso für Männer. Weil diese davon aber materiell und sozial immer profitiert haben, wurde erst in jüngerer Zeit zum Thema, dass Geschlechterrollen auch für Männer ein Korsett sind, das ihnen mehr schadet als nützt. ... Frauen haben durch den Feminismus ihre Möglichkeiten erweitert, Männern steht dieser Schritt noch bevor. ”— Das [Deutsche] Grüne Männer-Manifest (via Armin)

“ However, like socialism, which is a far simpler model than capitalism and which has proved fantastically evil in its treatment of those who disagreed with it, objectivism has turned out to be completely inept at dealing with disagreement. Constructing a social system that tends to those who agree with it is a piece of cake compared to constructing one that makes those who disagree with it want to obey its principles. ”— Erik Naggum on Atlas Shrugged - Kent Pitman - Open Salon

Designing society for posterity
Thought-provoking essay by SF writer Charles Stross on the social and political challenge of keeping a society going in a closed system: "You, and a quarter of a million other folks, have embarked on a 1000-year voyage aboard a hollowed-out asteroid. What sort of governance and society do you think would be most comfortable, not to mention likely to survive the trip without civil war, famine, and reigns of terror?"Reposted from

Butch vs. femme ways of thinking about tech, and what the difference means for IT education: "[Currently we're focused on] finding the girls who are interested to think in butch ways [...] and making them feel comfortable in [the butch IT] world. The missing piece is inducting femme thinkers into this universe."

“ Once a politician gets you to identify with them [instead of judging them], they pretty much own you.— Less Wrong: The Two-Party SwindleCommoners identifying with kings was one of the great supports of the monarchy. The commoners in France and England alike might be cold and starving. And the kings of France and England alike might be living in a palace, drinking from golden cups. But hey, the King of England is our king, right? His glory is our glory? Long live King Henry the Whatever!”

“ If you're basically a conventional person, with a conventional, average view of the world, conventional understanding of morality, and so forth, people who never knew you will look back at you from the future and ask, "How could you think such things? What was wrong with you?" ”— dgordon @ Hacker News
