“No science and no analysis of the future consequences of various actions taken today can in itself tell us what to do. We need, in addition, to factor in what kind of future we value, and to what extent we care at all about the future compared to more immediate concerns here and now. The later aspect is usually modeled and economics by the so-called discount rate, which has played a prominent role in discussions of climate change on a decadal and centennial time scale, but hardly at all in the context of longer perspectives or the various radical technologies[.] We are less used to thinking about ethical issues on long time scales, so our intuitions trying to fail us and lead to paradoxes. These issues need to be resolved, because dodging the bullet would in my opinion be unacceptably irresponsible.”

“No science is immune to the infection of politics and the corruption of power. ...

“No science is speedily learned by the noblest genius without tuition.”
“No science of any kind can be divorced from ethical considerations... Science is a human learning process which arises in certain subcultures in human society and not in others, and a subculture as we seen is a group of people defined by acceptance of certain common values, that is, an ethic which permits extensive communication between them.”

“No scientist is admired for failing in the attempt to solve problems that lie beyond his competence. ... Good scientists study the most important problems they think they can solve. It is, after all, their professional business to solve problems, not merely to grapple with them.”
“No scientist knows the world merely by holding it at arm's length: if we ever managed to build the objectivist wall between the knower and the known, we could know nothing except the wall itself. Science requires an engagement with the world, a live encounter between the knower and the known. That encounter has moments of distance, but it would not be an encounter without moments of intimacy as well. Knowing of any sort is relational, animated by a desire to come into deeper community with what we know.”
“No scientist or student of science, need ever read an original work of the past. As a general rule, he does not think of doing so.

“No scoundrel is so stupid as to not find a reason for his vile conduct.”

“No se cuenta lo que se siente al hacer fotos. No se trasmite lo que se siente mientras aprietas el disparador. Y no se puede contar porque funciona de manera inversa. Tomas tus fotos cuando ves, cuando sientes. Cuando tu Vida se llena de momentos. Captarlos sólo es una compulsión mefítica y sanadora a partes iguales que te invade si te dejas.”
