Book cover for Blindsight
People simply can't accept that patterns carry their own intelligence, quite apart from the semantic content that clings to their surfaces; if you manipulate the topology correctly, that content just—comes along for the ride.

Andrei Tarkovsky
“A book read by a thousand different people is a thousand different books.”
Andrei Tarkovsky

“Computers are like bikinis. They save people a lot of guesswork.”
Sam Ewing

Edward O. Wilson
“We have created a Star Wars civilization, with Stone Age emotions, medieval institutions, and godlike technology.”
Edward O. Wilson, The Social Conquest of Earth

Edward O. Wilson
“Meanwhile, because humanity is still swept along by animal passions in a digitalized global world, and because we are conflicted between what we are and what we wish to become, and because we are drowning in information and starved for wisdom, it would seem appropriate to return philosophy to its once esteemed position, this time as the center of a humanistic science and a scientific humanities.”
Edward O. Wilson, The Origins of Creativity

Philip K. Dick
“Sound occurs in the ears. Sound does not occur in the atmosphere. It occurs essentially within the human being, and that’s Descartes’s great contribution to psychology and philosophy. Which is where that thing comes from where they say if a tree falls in the forest and no one’s there, does it make a noise?”
Philip K. Dick, What If Our World is Their Heaven: The Final Conversations of Philip K. Dick
