doe probability
Hope does not always require probability.
names ideas sight
I had always thought that the idea of love at first sight was one of those things invented by lady novelists from the South with three names.
real opportunity numbers
Imagine discovering a continent so vast that it may have no end to its dimensions. Imagine a new world with more resources than all our future greed might exhaust, more opportunities than there will ever be entrepreneurs enough to exploit, and a peculiar kind of real estate that expands with development. Imagine a place where trespassers leave no footprints, where goods can be stolen infinite number of times and yet remain in the possession of their original owners, where business you never heard of can own the history of your personal affairs...
expression support cyberspace
I support freedom of expression, no matter whose, so I oppose DDoS attacks regardless of their target... they're the poison gas of cyberspace.
thinking tolerance irony
Our universities are so determined to impose tolerance that they'll expel you for saying what you think and never notice the irony
differences privacy shame
The Corporate impulse for human uniformity instills shame at difference and, thus, the contemporary zeal for privacy.
government sight magic
One can imagine the government's problem. This is all pretty magical stuff to them. If I were trying to terminate the operations of a witch coven, I'd probably seize everything in sight. How would I tell the ordinary household brooms from the getaway vehicles?
thinking government worry
Most libertarians are worried about government but not worried about business. I think we need to be worrying about business in exactly the same way we are worrying about government.
law behavior stills
I'm still strongly opposed to antismoking laws, strongly opposed to any law that regulates personal behavior.
The future's here, we are it, we are on our own
thinking fire gutenberg
With the development of the Internet...we are in the middle of the most transforming technological event since the capture of fire. I used to think that it was just the biggest thing since Gutenberg, but now I think you have to go back farther.
fire events middle
We are in the middle of the most transforming technological event since the capture of fire.
cryptography
When cryptography is outlawed, bayl bhgynjf jvyy unir cevinpl.
real objectivity feelings
I have a feeling Virtual Reality will further expose the conceit that 'reality' is a fact. It will provide another reminder of the seamless continuity between the world outside and the world within, delivering another major hit to the old fraud of objectivity. 'Real,' as Kevin Kelly put it, 'is going to be one of the most relative words we'll have.'
