Brian  Christian
“Seemingly innocuous language like 'Oh, I'm flexible' or 'What do you want to do tonight?' has a dark computational underbelly that should make you think twice. It has the veneer of kindness about it, but it does two deeply alarming things. First, it passes the cognitive buck: 'Here's a problem, you handle it.' Second, by not stating your preferences, it invites the others to simulate or imagine them. And as we have seen, the simulation of the minds of others is one of the biggest computational challenges a mind (or machine) can ever face.”
Brian Christian, Algorithms to Live By: The Computer Science of Human Decisions

“Our role is to be exactly on the border, to stand in the gray area between fate and free will, and to play Ping-Pong there.”
Yoav Blum, The Coincidence Makers

“My mother made me a scientist without ever intending to. Every other Jewish mother in Brooklyn would ask her child after school: So? Did you learn anything today? But not my mother. “Izzy,” she would say, “did you ask a good question today?” That difference — asking good questions — made me become a scientist.”
Isidor Isaac Rabi

“The difference is simple: happy people look at their lives and see a series of choices. Miserable people see only a series of sacrifices.”
Yoav Blum, The Coincidence Makers

“Stop being so proud of mediocrity; show some spirit!”
