“Computer science only indicates the retrospective omnipotence of our technologies. In other words, an infinite capacity to process data (but only data - i.e. the already given) and in no sense a new vision. With that science, we are entering an era of exhaustivity, which is also an era of exhaustion. Of generalized interactivity abolishing particularized action. Of the interface which abolishes challenge, passion, and rivalry between peoples, ideas and individuals which was always the source of the finest energies.
It is difficult to find a remedy for our own sadness, because we are ourselves implicated in it. It is difficult to find a remedy for other people's sadness because we are prisoners of it.”

“Leibniz wanted to combine physics, mathematics, logic, and philosophy, and he would no doubt have loved this joke:
An engineer, a mathematician, a logician, and a philosopher were traveling through Scotland when they saw a black sheep through the window of the train.
"Aha", says the engineer, "I see that Scottish sheep are black."
"Hmm", says the mathematician, "You mean that some Scottish sheep are black."
"No", says the logician, "All we know is that there is at least one black sheep in Scotland."
"And even", the philosopher continued, "The only thing we can be really sure of is that the side facing us is black.”
