    The Voice That Is Great Within Us

    Their words

    So number one, it's a book of poetry called The Voice That is Great Within Us. It's by Hayden Kuth and it is a remark remarkable collection of 20th century poetry. That's where I first became aware of my favorite poem of all time which is a poem by Charles Olsen called Maximus to Himself. P.S. I name my dog Maximus. [snorts] That's number one.

    Hunger

    Their words

    But more recently, in 2017, I started reading a book called Hunger by Roxang Gay. And when I read that book, I fell in love with the author, sight unseen, just reading her words. So much so that I reached out to her. I wanted to get her on my podcast. She said no. I tried to stay in touch. She was very squirly about it. And then through a mutual friend, she got wind that I was actually not a crazy person.

    Tristram Shandy

    Their words

    The Life And Opinions Of Tristram Shandy, Gentlemen is now seen as a forerunner of the use of stream of consciousness and self-reflexive writing. It is mind-blowing in its entirety and one of the most inventive original books ever written.

    The Brand Gap

    Their words

    The Brand Gap was written in 2005, but it is one of the first books to present a unified theory of brand building. Individually they’re both great books, but together they provide a unique perspective that the power of brands have in our lives.

    Apple Pencil

    Their words

    Well, the purchase that has influenced me over the last six months is the Apple pencil. I do so much of my artwork by hand and now there is a device that draws and feels like a real pencil that I can use electronically. It’s changed the way I work.

    I also really, really love the movies Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Elf, mostly because I don’t stop laughing all through Elf, and I think that Jeff Spicoli is one of the great characters in all of cinematic history.

What is a korrent?

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.

Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.

Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post

Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.

The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.

Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
