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

Human knowledge has been changing from the word go and people in certain respects behave more rationally than they did when they didnt have it. They spend less time doing rain dances and more time seeding clouds. – Herbert Simon
There are no morals about technology at all. Technology expands our ways of thinking about things, expands our ways of doing things. If were bad people we use technology for bad purposes and if were good people we use it for good purposes. – Herbert Simon
