Words of Wisdom
Look at situations from all angles, and you will become more open.
Dalai Lama
Technology determines the possibilities of society. It does not matter whether
you start out with a fascist state or communist state or a free-market state.
Iain M. Banks
Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.
Terry Pratchett
Against the assault of laughter nothing can stand.
Mark Twain
In the end, we self-perceiving, self-inventing, locked-in mirages are little miracles of self-reference.
Douglas Hofstadter
See that the imagination of nature is far, far greater than the imagination of man.
Richard P. Feynman
Data is not information.
Clifford Stoll
"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
Frank Herbert, Dune
