“Design creates culture. Culture shapes values. Values determine the future.”

“Culture is concerned with the world of values. All cultures are irreducibly value-oriented.”

“Culture carries no privilege to exist. Cultures do not have value simply because they are. Some cultures, the world is better off without.”

“Changes in language often reflect the changing values of a culture.”

“A culture that values production over life values the wrong things, because it will produce things at the expense of living beings, human or otherwise.”

“We then return our gaze to the mirror-boxed future-towns circling us-the hard drives of our culture, where the human tribe is making flesh its deepest needs and fears; teaching machines to think; accelerating the pace of obsolescence; designing new animals to replace the animals we've erased; value adding; reconstructing the future.”
