In America I had arranged with a gramophone
firm to make some of my music. This
suggested the idea that I should compose
something whose length should be
determined by the capacity of the record.
Igor Stravinsky (1925)
Douglas Adams
Anything that is in the world when you’re
born is normal and ordinary and is just a
natural part of the way the world works.
Anything that’s invented between when
you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and
exciting and revolutionary and you can
probably get a career in it.
Anything invented after you’re thirty-five
is against the natural order of things.
Plato –
The Phaedrus (ca 370 bc)
…you give your disciples not truth, but only the semblance of truth; they
will be hearers of many things and will have learned nothing; they will
appear to be omniscient and will generally know nothing; they will be
tiresome company, having the show of wisdom without the reality.

“My fear is that these
technologies are
infantilising the brain into
the state of small children
who are attracted by
buzzing noises and bright
lights, who have a small
attention span and who
live for the moment.”
Prof. Susan Greenfield
It is absurd to talk of one animal being
higher than another…we consider those,
where the intellectual faculties most
developed as the highest. – A bee
doubtless would [use] … instincts as a
criteria.
Charles Darwin

Hello Kitty Darth Vader from JD Hancock cc by
Mercedes SL500 from DesheBoard cc by In March 2007, a 28-year-old woman following her in-car satellite navigation system ignored a number of warning signs telling her not to drive down a certain road toward a rain-swollen river, drove directly toward said rain-swollen river anyway, and drove her Mercedes SL500 right in to that rain-swollen river. Swollen with heavy rain, the raging River Sence in Leicestershire, UK, carried her car several hundred feet downstream.
