19. « It is change, continuing
change, inevitable change, that is
the dominant factor in society
today. No sensible decision can
be made any longer without
taking into account not only the
world as it is, but the world as it
will be ... This, in turn, means
that our statesmen, our
businessmen, our everyman
must take on a science fictional
way of thinking. »
Isaac Asimov

believe in a coming singularity. The fact
that you can visualize a future in your
imagination is not evidence that it is
likely or even possible. Look at domed
cities, jet-pack commuting, underwater
cities, mile-high buildings, and nuclear-
powered automobiles—all staples of
futuristic fantasies when I was a child
that have never arrived. Sheer processing
power is not a pixie dust that magically
solves all your problems.”
Steven Pinker

Greek philosopher Heraclitus taught
that everything changes. If you
superimpose their two views, you
get this result: Nothing is real.”
Philip K. Dick
