The future is too interesting and dangerous to be entrusted to any predictable, reliable agency. We need all the fallibility we can get. Most of all, we need to preserve the absolute unpredictability and total improbability of our connected minds. That way we can keep open all the options, as we have in the past.

  • -- Lewis Thomas 路易斯·汤马斯

未来太过有趣和危险,不能委托给任何可预测、可靠的机构。我们需要尽可能多的犯错。最重要的是,我们需要保持我们相互联系的思想的绝对不可预测性和完全不可能性。这样我们就可以像过去一样,保留所有的选择。
