“Every major technological innovation propels humanity forward to the point of no return.”
“The paramount doctrine of the economic and technological euphoria of recent decades has been that everything depends on innovation. It was understood as desirable, and even necessary, that we should go on and on from one technological innovation to the next, which would cause the economy to "grow" and make everything better and better. This of course implied at every point a hatred of the past, of all things inherited and free. All things superceded in our progress of innovations, whatever their value might have been, were discounted as of no value at all.”
“Do not get obsolete like an old technology, keep innovating yourself.”
“Candor does not provide us with protection, sustenance, or technological innovation. Therefore you are expendable to us.”
“It is human nature to resist change... but yet, it is human nature to be innovative. Humans are contradicitve based on the fact that innovation requires change.”
“The vast majority of human beings dislike and even actually dread all notions with which they are not familiar... Hence it comes about that at their first appearance innovators have generally been persecuted, and always derided as fools and madmen.”
