(Technology reliability) x (Human reliability) = (System reliability)

What features of your daily life do you expect to be improved by a further increase in population?

People are the quintessential element in all technology... Once we recognize the inescapable human nexus of all technology our attitude toward the reliability problem is fundamentally changed.

The population problem has no technical solution; it requires a fundamental extension in morality.

Why are ecologists and environmentalists so feared and hated? This is because in part what they have to say is new to the general public, and the new is always alarming.

Moreover, the practical recommendations deduced from ecological principles threaten the vested interests of commerce; it is hardly surprising that the financial and political power created by these investments should be used sometimes to suppress environmental impact studies.

The only thing we can really count on in this uncertain world is human unreliability itself.
