Quotes by Jeremy Campbell (?)

“Energy was the ruling theme of Victorian science, as machines increasingly harnessed the forces of nature to do man's work. The concept is also present in the art and literature of the age, notably in the poems of William Blake. The Romantic movement was much interested in energy and its various transformations.”
― Jeremy Campbell, Grammatical Man: Information, Entropy, Language and Life

“Von Neumann told Shannon to call his measure entropy, since "no one knows what entropy is, so in a debate you will always have the advantage.”
― Jeremy Campbell, Grammatical Man: Information, Entropy, Language and Life

“In Machiavelli, as in Darwin, nature is set against nature. Fortuna, impersonal blind chance, the agency of floods, havoc-wreaking storms and plagues, confronts virtù, the power of mind to outwit the entropic, leveling tendencies of physical forces. The essence of virtù is to be clever and strong, and it is ethically neutral.”
― Jeremy Campbell, The Liar's Tale: A Social History of Falsehood
