Technology is anything that was invented after you were born.

The way to build a complex system that works is to build it from very simple systems that work.

Humans are the reproductive organs of technology. We multiply manufactured artifacts and spread ideas and memes.

When a system is in turbulence, the turbulence is not just out there in the environment, but is a part of the organization or organism that you are looking at.

An organization's reason for being, like that of any organism, is to help the parts that are in relationship to each other, to be able to deal with change in the environment.

The most certain thing you can say about the environment tomorrow is that it probably is going to be just like today, for the most part.

Singularity is the point at which "all the change in the last million years will be superseded by the change in the next five minutes."
