“Control and surrender have to be kept in balance. That’s what surfers do – take control of the situation, then be carried, then take control. In the last few thousand years, we’ve become incredibly adept technically. We’ve treasured the controlling part of ourselves and neglected the surrendering part.” Eno considers all his recent art to be a rebuttal to this attitude. “I want to rethink surrender as an active verb,” he says. “It’s not just you being escapist; it’s an active choice. I’m not saying we’ve got to stop being such controlling beings. I’m not saying we’ve got to be back-to-the-earth hippies. I’m saying something more complex.”

O tempo todo você sorri com os olhos...  Só o outro consegue ver isso. A gente só se desenvolve quando se relaciona com o outro. Nunca me fecho em um canto. Ninguém se torna uma pessoa mais tolerante sozinha. Ou alguém melhor no mundo. Nada acontece apenas em torno do meu umbigo. É sempre: “Essa situação me incomodou, deixa eu ver o que em mim ela reflete”.

If triggering emotions is the highest prize, and negative emotions are easier to trigger, how could social media not make you sad?

The algorithm is trying to capture the perfect parameters for manipulating a brain, while the brain, in order to seek out deeper meaning, is changing in response to the algorithm’s experiments … Because the stimuli from the algorithm doesn’t mean anything, because they genuinely are random, the brain isn’t responding to anything real, but to a fiction. That process – of becoming hooked on an elusive mirage – is addiction.
