Karl Braungart
“I must tell you, however, that if you refuse us, you face death.”
Karl Braungart, Lost Identity

Ajay Agrawal
“Having better prediction raises the value of judgment. After all, it doesn’t help to know the likelihood of rain if you don’t know how much you like staying dry or how much you hate carrying an umbrella. Prediction machines don’t provide judgment. Only humans do, because only humans can express the relative rewards from taking different actions. As AI takes over prediction, humans will do less of the combined prediction-judgment routine of decision making and focus more on the judgment role alone.”
Ajay Agrawal, Prediction Machines: The Simple Economics of Artificial Intelligence

Jorge Luis Borges
“My taste runs to hourglasses, maps, seventeenth-century typefaces, etymologies, the taste of coffee, and the prose of Robert Louis Stevenson.”
Jorge Luis Borges, Labyrinths: Selected Stories & Other Writings

Jonathan Safran Foer
“Why are you leaving me?
He wrote, I do not know how to live.
I do not know either but I am trying.
I do not know how to try.
There were some things I wanted to tell him. But I knew they would hurt him. So i buried them and let them hurt me”
Jonathan Safran Foer

Truman Capote
“Oh, I adore to cook. It makes me feel so mindless in a worthwhile way.”
Truman Capote, Summer Crossing
