Social Disruption and the Sharing Economy

presented by Matt Kibbe

I think there’s an unprece­dent­ed oppor­tu­ni­ty to change our rela­tion­ship with polit­i­cal pow­er. And I don’t think we need to be afraid of it. I don’t think we have to com­pro­mise our core prin­ci­ples in order to do it.

The New Caring Majority

presented by Ai-Jen Poo

In build­ing this move­ment for a car­ing major­i­ty, we believe that we have to return to our fun­da­men­tal core val­ues. Values that real­ly bring out the best in who we are. Values like respect. Like oppor­tu­ni­ty. Like democracy.

Robert Reich’s Advice for the Next President

presented by Robert Reich

The next President is prob­a­bly going to have to deal with some very dif­fi­cult eco­nom­ic times. The hous­ing mar­ket is start­ing to look like a bub­ble. There’s a pos­si­bil­i­ty of that bub­ble burst­ing. We’ve been there before.

Peter W. Singer’s Advice for the Next President

presented by Peter W. Singer

If I had to sug­gest one job for the next President to do for a day, it would be to take on the role of a mil­i­tary spouse whose wife has deployed abroad.

Jon Huntsman’s Advice for the Next President

presented by Jon Huntsman

The dimin­ish­ing trust that peo­ple have in their insti­tu­tions of gov­er­nance. Toward their sys­tem gen­er­al­ly. That is the issue that has to be addressed. 

Jen Kirkman’s Advice for the Next President

presented by Jen Kirkman

Whoever the next President is, the non-politician that they should call once in awhile to get per­spec­tive from is Howard Stern.

Jamelle Bouie’s Advice for the Next President

presented by Jamelle Bouie

The United States needs a stronger labor move­ment. It needs some­thing to orga­nize work­ers as work­ers, just for the sake of act­ing as a polit­i­cal coun­ter­bal­ance to cor­po­ra­tion and to large for­ma­tions of cap­i­tal. I think a lot of our prob­lems right now are direct­ly traced back to the decline of unions.

Douglas Rushkoff’s Advice for the Next President

presented by Douglas Rushkoff

I think it would be inter­est­ing if the President had to be a min­is­ter for a day and actu­al­ly engaged with peo­ple’s spir­i­tu­al bank­rupt­cy, and think about, ​“Do I want to solve this by lying to them with anoth­er myth, or do I want to help them con­front the truth?”

Deon Cole’s Advice for the Next President

presented by Deon Cole

It’s not nec­es­sary for a machine gun to be able to be pur­chased. What is that for? How do you even have those in stores, and know that they in stores everywhere.

Cory Booker’s Advice for the Next President

presented by Cory Booker

We have a tax sys­tem right now that cre­ates a lot of per­verse incen­tives. It incen­tivizes jobs mov­ing over­seas, incen­tivizes a lack of invest­ment here at home, these inver­sions that are hap­pen­ing. And I do believe that when it comes to pay­ing fair tax­es, there’s a lot of folks who are pay­ing large per­cent­ages of their incom­ing tax­es, but that’s not reflect­ed in oth­er asset brackets.

Some Random Transcripts

On Guts
presented by David Chang

Why did we pick the theme? It seems that when I'm with René or other chefs, younger cooks come up to us and they always ask, "How did you do it?" Or, "Why did you become successful?" Besides it being a team effort, I think it all starts with the seed, a plant of an idea, you know, planting an idea. Read more →

Custodians of the Internet
presented by Tarleton Gillespie

What I'd like to do just with the few minutes that I'm up here is to set the stage. This is a huge set of questions, and I think a set of questions that are exploding into public view in a way that they hadn't even just a few years ago. So I want to sort of like, set the broad place that some of these questions kinda live. Read more →

Star Simpson at the Freedom to Innovate Summit
presented by Star Simpson

One of the most surprising outcomes since then is to find just how many people I know who are engineers [have] had some experience with the law. It's unbelievable the number of people who've come to me and said, "Look, the same thing happened to me when I was a teenager, when I was in college, a little after." Read more →

There Is No Internet
presented by Lori Emerson

What I'd like to do for probably the next 40 to 45 minutes is just first of all talk about how Reading Writing Interfaces as well as the Media Archaeology Lab underlie my next/current project that I'm calling "Other Networks," which will lead me into an explanation of my kind of mysterious title "There Is No Internet." And I'll finish with talking about specific examples of other networks. When I say "other networks" I'm talking primarily about networks that were outside or before what we now call The Internet.
