"We initially thought [social media] would be more democratic because it gives everybody the voice, but it turns out it's not equal; it only gave people with the more polarized, more extreme, louder voices, but the people who actually are in the middle--the centrists, the bridge builders--they are not given voice on such platforms." --Audrey Tang

"La pregunta no es los medios sociales, es los medios pro-sociales o anti-sociales.  Tenemos más de la media anti-social ahora que la media pro-social, pero en Taiwan, han demonstrado que hay medias pro-sociales tambíen." --Glen Weyl

"El conflicto no es el problema; el problema es que siempre estamos reforzando las mismas líneas de conflicto." --Glen Weyl

"AI, just like my eyeglasses, [are] not a replacement for my eyes, it is just to help me see better.  So we need to steer the AI toward those assistive augmented uses." --Audrey Tang

"Nowadays, especially after the pandemic, all the democratic countries in the world come to see Taiwan as not just the most liberal place, one of the most democratic places in Asia, but also very critical in making sure that democracy continues and democracy thrives because we're making so many experiments, as you said, on advancing democracy.  And it is like vaccine, like a cure for polarization, and if you destroy the lab that makes the cure for polarization, then democracies around the world suffers." --Audrey Tang

"Youth engagement I think is one key thing that Taiwan has to teach to the world how we enable the youth to care about democracy...democracy is not just about four years, every vote from this side to that side to that side.  Because if people think of democracy as something that only happens every four years, then the younger people lose interest in participation.  But in Taiwan, some of the most active participants in our democracy are people younger than 18 years old." --Audrey Tang
