Technology tends toward avoidance of risks by investors. Uncertainty is ruled out if possible. People generally prefer the predictable. Few recognize how destructive this can be, how it imposes severe limits on variability and thus makes whole populations fatally vulnerable to the shocking ways our universe can throw the dice.
Frank HerbertLaw of the Minimum: "The worst potential competition for any organism can come from its own kind. The species consumes necessities. Growth is limited by that necessity which is present in the least amount. The least favourable condition controls the rate of growth."
Frank HerbertWhat has mood to do with it? You fight when the necessity arisesโno matter the mood! Mood's a thing for cattle or making love or playing the baliset. It's not for fighting.
Frank HerbertThere are problems in this universe for which there are no answers. Nothing. Nothing can be done.
