Garry Kasparov

So there was a talk and here are some interesting quotes from it:

"In chess you have fixed rules and uncertain results. In Russian politics, exactly the opposite"
"My least favorite line to wait in is the airport security line."
"Peaceful revolution in Russia. I hope Putin doesn't finish his current term."
"Yeah, I've played World of Warcraft with my son. It's kind of your duty as a father." about what video games he play

"International conflict has sadly been the biggest incentive for innovation. Without it, innovation is resisted because it generally destroys jobs before it creates jobs."
"This country got a black president before it landed on Mars because its priorities changed, even though that would have looked unlikely in the sixties. When people ask me what the point is of the Space program, I ask them back if they enjoy using cell phone technology, which is the result of that program."
About Facebook and the internet: "Someone who lives in the desert today has access to more information than Winston Churchill had over his entire life. I don't think we've really felt yet the result of a billion people being able to work together."
