“Vielleicht braucht es das Fremde im Bekannten, um uns tief im Innern zu berühren. Uns zu verändern und unsere Entscheidungen zu formen. Uns mutiger zu machen, unerschrockener, auf der langen Reise zu uns selbst.”

“That's who is now, he reminds himself, someone who makes decisions, who doesn't let life just act upon him. Wasn't that the big lesson of transition, of detransition? That you'll never know all the angles, that delay is just form of hiding from reality. That you just figure what you what you want and do it? And maybe, if you don't know what you want, you just do something anyway, and everything will change, and then maybe that will reveal what you really want. So do something.”

“Did she say anything before she died?" he asked. "Yes," the surgeon said. "She said, 'Forgive him'" "Forgive him?" my father asked. "I think she was referring to the drunk driver who killed her." Wow. My grandmother's last act on earth was a call for forgiveness, love and tolerance. She wanted us to forgive Gerald, the dumb-ass Spokane Indian alcoholic who ran her over and killed her. I think My Dad wanted to go find Gerald and beat him to death. I think my mother would have helped him. I think I would have helped him, too. But my grandmother wanted us to forgive her murderer. Even dead, she was a better person than us.”

“Theoretically, artificial superintelligence could possess humanity’s combined cognitive capacity. In contrast, superstupidity could take on multiple features, including overreliance on the underlying “intelligence” of these systems. For instance, believing that AI can be a proxy for our own understanding and decision-making as we delegate more power to algorithms is superstupid. Perhaps AI is also superstupid, and may cause mistakes, wrong decisions, or misalignment.”
