One of the first rules of science is if somebody delivers a secret weapon to you, you better use it. – Herbert Simon

Most of us really arent horribly unique. There are 6 billion of us. Put em all in one room and very few would stand out as individuals. So maybe we ought to think of worth in terms of our ability to get along as a part of nature, rather than being the lords over nature. – Herbert Simon
Technology may create a condition, but the questions are what do we do about ourselves. We better understand ourselves pretty clearly and we better find ways to like ourselves. – Herbert Simon
