In the long run, qualitative changes
always outweigh quantitative ones.
Quantitative predictions
of economic and social trends
are made obsolete
by qualitative changes
in the rules of the game.
Quantitative predicitons
of technological progress
are made obsolete
by unpredictable new inventions.
I am interested
in the long run,
the remote future,
where quantitative predictions
are meaningless.
The only certainty
in that remote future
is that radically new things
will be happening.
— Freeman Dyson, Disturbing the Universe (1979), p. 192
