“Our species is the only creative species, and it has only one creative instrument, the individual mind and spirit of a man”
I doubt this line would have stuck out so much if I read this 5 years ago but this whole passage is really interesting when thought about in context to AI. sigh

I actually tried reading this a while ago and didn't realize how long the book was and then stopped. But decided to pick it back up and restart before the new movie comes out. Looking forward to actually finishing it this time

“…that the free, exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable thing in the world. And this I would fight for: the freedom of the mind to take any direction it wishes, undirected. And this I must fight against: any idea, religion, or government which limits or destroys the individual. This is what I am and what I am about…. Surely I can understand this, and I hate it and I will fight against it to preserve the one thing that separates us from the uncreative beats. If the glory can be killed, we are lost.”
