Joseph Weizenbaum

“We have a problem and a problem demands a solution. Problem and solution—these two terms are inseparably connected to each other. It means if a person has a problem there is a certain method—it could be mathematical, algebra—that you can apply to this problem. What you get out of that is the solution. With that the problem is over.

But it is not like that in human life. It is not like that with—now I am going to use the word myself—problems. Human problems, social problems, societal problems will never be solved... It is an illusion that some kind of problem will be solved.”

Joseph Weizenbaum, Islands in the Cyberstream: Seeking Havens of Reason in a Programmed Society
