summary
A mix of concrete stories and actionable guidance: builds a backyard robot with a microwave head where one child insists on teaching it to smell, recounts being detained at IST with armed guards while customs compare passports and Facebook profiles, and admits starting the day with a Diet Dr Pepper before a keynote. Argues social media flattens debate, recommends preferring three‑dimensional conversations over tweets, choosing words to preserve dignity, and practicing measured kindness that does not mean automatic compromise.
