「グローバルウェブ」を牽引する第二要素は、欧米に相変わらず根強くある、世界全体への関与の意志です。グーグル中国問題のところでも述べた、ヨーロッパ近代以来のイデオロギーやアメリカ建国以来の思想を体現し、民主主義や資本主義といった自らが信奉する価値観を世界中に普及させようという情熱です。 また、欧米エスタブリッシュメント層の中には、持てる者が持たざる者に手を差し伸べるべきという考え方や「ノーブレス・オブリージ」的な規範で行動する文化も根付いていますが、そういうことがウェブ進化と融合し、本書のテーマであるオープンエデュケーションというムーブメントにも結びついています。[43ページ] ↗

「グローバルウェブ」を牽引する第一要素は、地球全体をターゲットと自然に考える発想です。２０世紀末までは、グローバルといっても米欧日プラスアルファで１０億人くらいの人口を相手にものを考えればよかったわけですが、今は、中国、インド、ロシア、ブラジルといった新興国群の中間層以上で構成される「次の１０億人」、そしてさらには「残りの４８億人」へと対象を広げていかなければなりません。全世界のインターネット人口は２０１０年中には１９億人とほぼ「次の１０億人」まではカバーされるようになり、未来の成長機会はさらにその先にあります。[42ページ] ↗

I am an American; free born and free bred, where I acknowledge no man as my superior, except for his own worth, or as my inferior, except for his own demerit. ↗

All the fires of hell could burn for a thousand years and it wouldn't equal what I feel for you in one minute of the day. I love you so much there is no pleasure in it. Nothing but torment. Because if I could dilute what I feel for you to the mil­lionth part, it would still be enough to kill you. And even if it drives me mad, I would rather see you live in the arms of that cold, soulless bastard than die in mine.", Merripen said to Win. ↗

Here's what we're not taught [about the Declaration and Constitution]: Those words at the time they were written were blazingly, electrifyingly subversive. If you understand them truly now, they still are. You are not taught - and it is a disgrace that you aren't - that these men and women were radicals for liberty; that they had a vision of equality that was a slap in the face of what the rest of their world understood to be the unchanging, God-given order of nations; and that they were willing to die to make that desperate vision into a reality for people like us, whom they would never live to see. ↗

A marriage of two independent and equally irritable intelligences seems to me reckless to the point of insanity. ↗

I value my own independence so highly that I can fancy no degradation greater than that of having another man perpetually directing and advising and lecturing me, or even planning too closely in any way about my actions. He might be the wisest of men, or the most powerful--I should equally rebel and resent his interference... ↗

Despite my firm convictions, I have been always a man who tries to face facts, and to accept the reality of life as new experience and new knowledge unfolds it. I have always kept an open mind, which is necessary to the flexibility that must go hand in hand with every form of intelligent search for truth. ↗
