to transform itself in us long before it happens

so that people don't have to experience it.

Max Frisch, Homo Faber


Our machines will become much like us,
and we will become much like our machines.
(Or perhaps we are becoming machine tools).

Rodney Brooks


One of the biggest flaws 
in the common concept of future
is that the future is something 
that happens to us,
not something we create.

                Michael Anissimov


The universe is not only queerer than we suppose,
but queerer than we can suppose or imagine.

J. B. S. Haldane

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.

The big feature 
of human-level intelligence
is not what it does when it works,
but what it does when it gets stuck.

questioning itself via one of
its smallest products?

To be able at any moment
to sacrifice what we are
for what we could become.

The role 
of the infinitely small
is infinitely large.

Louis Pasteur

What is the universe computing? 
As far as we can tell, 
it is not producing 
a single answer to a single question…. 
Instead the universe is computing itself. 
Powered by Standard Model software, 
the universe computes quantum fields, 
chemicals, bacteria, human beings, stars and galaxies. 
As it computes, it maps out its own spacetime geometry 
to the ultimate precision allowed by the laws of physics. 
Computation is existence.

Seth Lloyd & Y. Jack Ng

then they might build us.

The further back you look,
the further forward you can see.

Computer science is no more about computers
than astronomy is about telescopes.

Eric Dijstrom

If an eminent… scientist 
says that something is possible,
he is almost certainly right,
but if he says that it is impossible,
he is very probably wrong.

Arthur C. Clarke

If little knowledge is dangerous,
where is the person who has so much
as to be out of danger?

Thomas Henry

The future ain't what it used to be.
