Carlo Rovelli’s relational view of reality isn’t just aradical physics insight—it’s a governance imperative for AI and science. Icouldn’t agree more.

Rovelli’s latest interview in Quanta Magazine is amasterclass in epistemic humility. His relational interpretation of quantummechanics—where reality is not a fixed inventory of things but a web ofinteractions—offers a profound challenge to legacy mod

Quotes by Tom Golway  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Winston Churchill once said "We shape our buildings, and afterwards our buildings shape us.". In a broader context, we have shaped our technology to achieve greater productivity and responsiveness and now our technology is shaping our behavior where we are always "on-demand". This has led to a culture where technology plays a greater role in defining who we are.

Take a day off...”
Tom Golway

“Great leaders do not movitate people, they inspire them.”
Tom Golway, Planning and Managing Atm Networks

“In the post-Covid world, the mathematics of chaos theory will experience a greater relevancy as it is applied across a broader set of science disciplines, especially epidemiology, precision medicine and climate science. - Tom Golway”
Tom Golway

“What people call #AI is no more than using correlation to find answers to questions we know to ask. Real #AI has awareness of causality, leading to answering questions we haven't dreamed of yet.” - Tom Golway”
Tom Golway

“As a society we need to reflect on the events to date and realize that it is critical that a vision for the transformation of how we deliver public services is the top issue to be debated in all elections. This vision is needed at all levels of gov't. - Tom Golway”
Tom Golway

“There is a current perception is that science has overtaken Philosophy and in effect rendered Philosophy irrelevant.

Science, when sufficiently abstracted, approaches Philosophy in seeking questions we are unaware exist, though from a direction that is based on current measurable knowledge. Philosophy should approach the undiscovered without relying on our current perception of baseline knowledge. Unfortunately, Philosophy has lost significant respect as a critical component of progress and as such has become virtually stagnant with very few significant big ideas or thinkers.”
Tom Golway

“Most people overestimate what they can do in one year and underestimate what they can do in ten years.”
Bill Gates

“Take the time to dream and take the risk to realize your dreams!”
