“My monetary studies have led me to the conclusion that central banks could profitably be replaced by computers geared to provide a steady rate of growth in the quantity of money. Fortunately for me personally, and for a select group of fellow economists, that conclusion has had no practical impact… else there would have been no Central Bank of Sweden to have established the award [Nobel Prize] I am honoured to receive.” Has BeensStudyComputerImpactPracticalsConclusionPrizeAwardsReplacedHonoredNobelMonetaryNobel PrizeSwedenCentral Banks Author:Milton Friedman

“What can you say about a man who leaps from a helicopter over Manhattan without a parachute in the hope that by increasing his heart rate he'll transform into an iridescent lime-green behemoth so he can take on an even bigger behemoth? That he knows he's living in a computer-generated universe in which gravity is a feeble suggestion and nothing is remotely at stake, and that when he hits the ground he'll be replaced by a special effect.

“...liberation from constraints that operate at the level of ordinary humanity---limits imposed by space and time, by the needs of the body, and by the opaqueness of the computer-like mind. All three examples [Jacob Lorber, Edgar Cayce, and Therese Neumann] illustrates the paradoxical truth that such 'higher powers' cannot be acquired by any kind of attack or conquest conducted by the human personality; only when the striving for 'power' has entirely ceased and been replaced by a certain transcendental longing, often called the love of God, may they, or may they not be 'added unto you.” NeedsMindHumansKindMayBodyCertainHumanityThreeSpaceLevelsExamplePersonalityHigherLimitsComputerOrdinaryLongingStriveLiberationGod LoveReplacedConquestTime And SpaceConstraintsTranscendentalParadoxicalJacobHigher PowerHuman Personality Author:E.
