Favorite Quotes
- That which can be destroyed by the truth should be. /P. C. Hodgell/
And someday when the descendants of humanity have spread from star to star they won't tell the children about the history of Ancient Earth until they're old enough to bear it and when they learn they'll weep to hear that such a thing as Death had ever once existed. /E. Yudkowsky, Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality/
Every night stands out as singularly as each separate note in a composer's opus. When we hear the composition though, we do not examine each and every note. We experience it in sum. This is the key to avoiding the malaise of eternity. Let each night, each note stand out in the greater body of the Requiem your life has become. /Charlotte Gaudibert, Aequitas Fatalis/
Let an ultraintelligent machine be defined as a machine that can far surpass all the intellectual activities of any man however clever. Since the design of machines is one of these intellectual activities, an ultraintelligent machine could design ever better machines; there would then unquestionably be an 'intelligence explosion,' and the intelligence of man would be left far behind. Thus the first ultraintelligent machine is the last invention that man need ever make, provided that the machine is docile enough to tell us how to keep it under control. It is curious that this point is made so seldom outside of science fiction. It is sometimes worthwhile to take science fiction seriously. /I. J. Good/
Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty — a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture, without appeal to any part of our weaker nature, without the gorgeous trappings of painting or music, yet sublimely pure, and capable of a stern perfection such as only the greatest art can show. The true spirit of delight, the exaltation, the sense of being more than Man, which is the touchstone of the highest excellence, is to be found in mathematics as surely as poetry. /B. Russell/
The future is already here — it is just unevenly distributed. /W. Gibson/
