Death makes me realize how deeply I have internalized the agnosticism I preach in all my books. I consider dogmatic belief and dogmatic denial very childish forms of conceit in a world of infinitely whirling complexity. None of us can see enough from one corner of space-time to know "all" about the rest of space-time.

We all see only that which we are trained to see.

Of course I'm crazy, but that doesn't mean I'm wrong.

In summary, Intelligence Intensification is desirable, because there is not a single problem confronting humanity that is not either caused or considerably worsened by the prevailing stupidity (insensitivity) of the species: badly wired robots bumping into and maiming and killing each other.

The path up is the path down. The way forward is the way back. The universe inside is outside but the universe outside is inside.

I don't believe anything, but I have many suspicions.

Belief is the death of intelligence.
