Behcet Kaya
“No, Rhodes. Everything is not okay. You know the lake just north of the university?”
“Yeah, it’s all dried up now. Does that every summer.”
“Well, there’s a dead body in the middle of it. You need to call the police and tell them to get out here, now.”
Behcet Kaya, Uncanny Alliance

Jared Diamond
“The processes through which past societies have undermined themselves by damaging their environments fall into eight categories, whose relative importance differs from case to case: deforestation and habitat destruction, soil problems (erosion, salinization, and soil fertility losses), water management problems, overhunting, overfishing, effects of introduced species on native species, human population growth, and increased per-capita impact of people.”
Jared Diamond, Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed

“Didn’t anyone ever teach you to watch where you were going?” he teased.

“Didn’t anyone ever teach you to put your things away so that people didn’t trip over them?” she quickly fired back, irritated that he found the entire situation amusing. “And while we are talking, I truly need to know. Do you ever wear clothes?”
Diane Merrill Wigginton, A Compromising Position

“Cognitive robotics can integrate information from pre-operation medical records with real-time operating metrics to guide and enhance the precision of physicians’ instruments. By processing data from genuine surgical experiences, they’re able to provide new and improved insights and techniques. These kinds of improvements can improve patient outcomes and boost trust in AI throughout the surgery. Robotics can lead to a 21% reduction in length of stay.”
Ronald M. Razmi, AI Doctor: The Rise of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare - A Guide for Users, Buyers, Builders, and Investors

Herman Wouk
“...the longest I'm in Washington the more I realize that most people in this town tend to act with the calm forethought of a beheaded chicken.”
