EMERSON SAID IT

1) be yourself
It's basically just saying stay true to yourself and don't change. They came up in the seminar because it was a pretty relatable quote by Emerson.
2)"the world has been instructed by its kings who have so magnetized the eyes of nations"
This basically is talking about how all the leaders or kings,presidents etc get all the attention when they shouldn't.
3) "the soul is no traveler"
What Emerson is basically trying to say is you act like yourself no matter where you travel
4) "what I must do is all that concerns me not what people think"
It's saying I do what I want and I don't care what people think of me. It came up because we do what we want and we don't care what people think.

So if the only options is Donald trump or Hilary Clinton, he'd probably whisper under his breath how America's screwed. Trump is considered a brute because of all the things he says to the media without caring, which Emerson thinks is genius. On the other hand we have Hilary who is just known for her deleted emails and wanting to start war with Russia. Emerson would probably support trump due to him being confident in himself and not lying.       Emerson would want this country to move forward not backwards by ...

We eat social media for breakfast

What the essays main arguement is claiming is that we use the internet just like how we use paper and how it's the next evolutionary step. It's not just a tool it's much more than that it's how we stay in touch with each other. The internet has changed the way this generation and the past generation did simple things like taking pictures. The internet is probably the most important adaptation of our time.

We have the power to look up anything and learn it online or to find out things within a couple seconds of a google search. The tone of the author is basically trying to tell us that we have a powerful tool that we can use anytime. We have all these social media apps that we use to communicate and talk from a long distance. Simple things like taking a picture in the past took multiple steps and nowadays you can take...
