As some people say, we're already in a Singularity relative to ancient Grecians, inasmuch as they couldn't understand our world at all... and I think it's true in the opposite direction, too.

Posting information is like pornography, a slick, impersonal exhibition.

But it is not the job of truth to make us feel good. It is the job of truth to be true, and it is our job to deal with it.

If you want others to follow, learn to be alone with your thoughts.

We proceed by doubt, by trial and error, by resisting the impulse to lunge after certainty.

Thinking means concentrating on one thing long enough to develop an idea about it. Not learning other people's ideas, or memorizing a body of information, however much those may sometimes be useful. Developing your own ideas. In short, thinking for yourself.

If you're oblivious to other people, chances are pretty good that you're going to hurt them.
