“...the mind is more powerful than any imaginable particle accelerator, more sensitive than any radio receiver or the largest optical telescope, more complete in its grasp of information than any computer: the human body- its organs, its voice, its powers of locomotion, and its imagination- is a more-than-sufficient means for the exploration of any place, time or energy level in the universe.” MindHumansMeanBodyUniverseEnergyVoiceImaginationLevelsPowerfulWonderInformationComputerRadioSensitiveSufficientExplorationOrgansHuman BodyParticlesTelescopesReceiverEnergy Levels Author:Terence McKenna
“Nothing in life is certain except death, taxes and the second law of thermodynamics. All three are processes in which useful or accessible forms of some quantity, such as energy or money, are transformed into useless, inaccessible forms of the same quantity. That is not to say that these three processes don't have fringe benefits: taxes pay for roads and schools; the second law of thermodynamics drives cars, computers and metabolism; and death, at the very least, opens up tenured faculty positions.” SchoolFormLawLife IsCertainThreeEnergyProcessPayCarPositionTaxesBenefitsComputerUselessFacultyTransformedQuantityFringeInaccessibleMetabolismThermodynamics Author:Seth Lloyd
“[With quantum computers] you can calculate how many bits are in the universe, how much energy it takes to flip them, how much energy exists, and use that to rule out lots of things about the universe's history. Anything that takes more bit flips couldn't have happened.” UseUniverseEnergyBitsHappenedComputerQuantumFlip Author:Seth Lloyd

“Never has the divide between the iPhone world and the politics world been so clear: I saw a bunch of people very well-served by their computers and telephones (very often Apple products) but undeniably shortchanged by our government-run cartel education system. And the tragedy for them - and for us - is that they will spend their energy trying to expand the sphere of the ineffective, hidebound, rent-seeking, unproductive political world, giving the . . .politicians. . .an even stronger whip hand over the Steve Jobses and Henry Fords - and we will be the poorer for it.” PeopleWorldGivingTryingWellsHandsGovernmentRunningPoliticalEnergyClearSawsProductsPoliticianComputerTragedyStrongerSeekingBunchApplesDividesSpheresTelephonesWhipsEducation SystemIphoneUnproductiveCartels Author:Kevin Williams
“This revolution, the information revoultion, is a revolution of free energy as well, but of another kind: free intellectual energy.
