In a networked world, ubiquity conquers superiority -- a widely accepted technology will overwhelm even a technologically superior rival.
-- Kevin Kell & Gary Wolf
He appeared to have no vice that anyone could discover. You’d have thought, with that pale, equine face, that he’d incline towards stuff with whips, needles, and young women in dungeons. The other lords could have accepted that. Nothing wrong with whips and needles, in moderation. But the Patrician apparently spent his evenings studying reports and, on special occasions, if he could stand the excitement, playing chess.

“Cram them full of noncombustible data, chock them so damned full of
'facts' they feel stuffed, but absolutely 'brilliant' with information. Then they'll feel they're thinking, they'll get a sense of motion without moving. And they'll be happy, because facts of that sort don't change.” - Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury #books #quotes
Старый дом давно ушёл под снос,
Съехали те люди, что в нём жили...
Лишь не сходят с места кот и пёс,
Всё не веря, что их тут забыли...
The old house was long ago demolished,
The people who lived there have moved out...
Only the cat and dog remain standing,
Still unable to believe they've been forgotten here...

“I do not know whether tomorrow's street will be full of human beings with Seashell thimble-radios whispering in their ears and all the world and its problems moved away and neglected. Or whether by some miracle we may all carry supersonic stethoscopes with us on our rounds, so that each may know the sound of every other human heart.
I only know that it would be interesting to walk on that street and think about it and write about it, before that evening sun goes down.” - Ray Bradbury #books #quotes
"'Never spread the lie in the headline' should be a hard rule of 21st century journalism.
Research shows that repeating lies helps to spread them, and people read headlines more than they read stories."

"The first ten million years were the worst," said Marvin, "and the second ten million years, they were the worst too. The third ten million years I didn't enjoy at all. After that I went into a bit of a decline."

I ache, therefore I am.
My present brain worm aka words that I keep repeating subconsciously - “There’s nothing to do, there’s nowhere to go” #quotes #words #meditation
Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?
