For me, science is just a bunch of tools - it's like playing the violin.

The key to having an interesting life is to always say "yes" to anything crazy.

If we had a reliable way to label our toys good and bad, it would be easy to regulate technology wisely. But we can rarely see far enough ahead to know which road leads to damnation. Whoever concerns himself with big technology, either to push it forward or to stop it, is gambling in human lives.

There is no way to find the best design except to try out as many designs as possible and discard the failures.

As far as I can see, our concentration of different abilities in one species - there's nothing I can see that in this Darwinian evolution that could've done that. So it seems to be a miracle of some sort.

Technology must be guided and driven by ethics if it is to do more than provide new toys for the rich.

Everything in my life was luck.
