If you make people think they're thinking, they'll love you;
but if you really make them think they'll hate you. The world's as ugly as sin, And almost as delightful Everyone talks about apathy, but no one does anything about it. When Marriage is outlawed, only outlaws will have Inlaws. All the world's a stage and most of us are desperately unrehearsed. I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has
endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their
use. A sine curve goes off to infinity or at least the end of the blackboard. First Law of Socio-Genetics: O give me a home. Where the buffalo roam. Where the deer and
the antelope play. Engineering: "How will this work?" Computation is the art of carefully throwing away information. What garlic is to food, insanity is to art. There are some micro-organisms that exhibit characteristics of both plants and animals. When exposed to light they undergo photosynthesis; and when the lights go out, they turn into animals. But then again, don't we all? There were in this country two very large monopolies. The
larger of the two had the following record: the Vietnam War, Watergate,
double-digit inflation, fuel and energy shortages, bankrupt airlines, and the
8-cent postcard. The second was responsible for such things as the transistor,
the solar cell, lasers, synthetic crystals, high fidelity stereo recording,
sound motion pictures, radio astronomy, negative feedback, magnetic tape,
magnetic "bubbles", electronic switching systems, microwave radio and TV relay
systems, information theory, the first electrical digital computer, and the
first communications satellite. Guess which one got to tell the other how to
run the telephone business? |
