Despite my emphasis on technology I do not view laws as inherently evil. My goals are political ones even if my techniques are not. The only way to fundamentally succeed is by changing existing laws. If I rejected all help from the political arena I would inevitably fail.
Technology is similarly just a catalyst at times for fundamental forces already present.
The technology is really where all of the changes have taken place but the fundamentals of a good story being the basis of every good picture and really the only basis still remains the rule more so today I think because we've unfortunately weaned an audience from birth to kind of mindless movies.
Take therefore what modern technology is capable of: the power of our moral sense allied to the power of communications and our ability to organize internationally.That in my view gives us the first opportunity as a community to fundamentally change the world.
What's sort of interesting about the whole public relations disaster that is the Net in some ways is that the fundamentals are really good.

A creative element is surely present in all great systems and it does not seem possible that all sympathy or fundamental attitudes of will can be entirely eliminated from any human philosophy.
Everyone applauds each other's success in Hollywood because they know how tough it is but it really comes down fundamentally to the process.
Temporary success can be achieved in spite of lack of other fundamental qualities but no advancements can be maintained without hard work.
Success is neither magical nor mysterious. Success is the natural consequence of consistently applying the basic fundamentals.
