Alexander von Humboldt
“The most dangerous worldviews are the worldviews of those who have never viewed the world.”
Alexander von Humboldt

Cathy O'Neil
“Big Data processes codify the past. They do not invent the future. Doing that requires moral imagination, and that’s something only humans can provide. We have to explicitly embed better values into our algorithms, creating Big Data models that follow our ethical lead. Sometimes that will mean putting fairness ahead of profit.”
Cathy O'Neil, Weapons of Math Destruction: How Big Data Increases Inequality and Threatens Democracy

Yasunari Kawabata
“Time flows in the same way for all human beings; every human being flows through time in a different way.”
Yasunari Kawabata

Hilary Mantel
“Evidence is always partial. Facts are not truth, though they are part of it – information is not knowledge. And history is not the past – it is the method we have evolved of organising our ignorance of the past. It’s the record of what’s left on the record. It’s the plan of the positions taken, when we to stop the dance to note them down. It’s what’s left in the sieve when the centuries have run through it – a few stones, scraps of writing, scraps of cloth. It is no more “the past” than a birth certificate is a birth, or a script is a performance, or a map is a journey. It is the multiplication of the evidence of fallible and biased witnesses, combined with incomplete accounts of actions not fully understood by the people who performed them. It’s no more than the best we can do, and often it falls short of that.”
Hilary Mantel

“Fascists always attack minorities,
Which is an irony,
'Cos fascists are a minority.”
Harry Whitewolf, Underdogs Unite
