"The tool solves a problem, and then creates new and more thorny issues not dreamable before. Technology, unlike science, does not even claim to reveal larger truths about what exists, but hints at more ways for humanity to change the world. Born of simple need and want, it emerges as an agent of human evolution." -- David Rothenberg 11:38:34 PM    comment [] CONCRETE   (Lewis Shiner) "... You know what I hate? The whining. The world is going to shit according to him. Every day it's something else. He's watching this baseball game, right? The manager shoves an umpire, the ump throws him out, the crowd booes, maybe throws a few bottles. To my dad it's the end of the fucking world. It's anarchy, man, the crowd is like pissing on the American flag because they don't respect the umpire's authority. I mean, who cares? It's just a stupid fucking game. Sure things are shitty. They could drop the Big One any second and we could all fry. You ever been to Pasadena? You can't even breathe the air there, with all those refineries, I mean it's *brown*, you know? But you got to go right on living. You can't sit around and cry because they cut down some trees and pave everything. You don't cry about it, man, you skate on it." 11:34:41 PM    comment [] "The recognition that no knowledge can be complete, no metaphor entire, is itself humanizing. It counteracts fanaticism. It grants even to adversaries the possibility of partial truth, and to oneself the possibility of error." -- Alvin Toffler, The Third Wave 11:31:22 PM    comment []
