“In order to write about the machine you have to know it, to live with it, to love it (or hate it). I think that true writing could be done on industrial subjects by people who work in industry, who are firmly linked with it. But ... and here is the opposite 'but', the technology of literary craftsmanship is itself a very fine and complex matter. Qualified specialists from industry prove themselves dilettantes in the field of literature. The needed synthesis is not yet in sight.” PeopleThinkingKnowsInspirationalWritingArtMatterDoneHateOrderLiteratureTechnologySubjectsFieldsFineIndustryNeededProveMachinesOppositesSightComplexesLinkedQualifiedSpecialistsSynthesisCraftsmanshipDilettantes Author:Yevgeny Zamyatin
“Computers and rocket ships are examples of invention, not of understanding. ... All that is needed to build machines is the knowledge that when one thing happens, another thing happens as a result. It's an accumulation of simple patterns. A dog can learn patterns. There is no "why&rdqo"; in those examples. We don't understand why electricity travels. We don't know why light travels at a constant speed forever.

“The women all had big minds because they were big animals, but they didn't use them for this reason: unusual ideas could make enemies and the women, if they were going to achieve any sort of comfort and safety, needed all the friends they could get. So, in the interest of survival they trained themselves to be agreeing machines.

“Science is a magnificent force, but it is not a teacher of morals. It can perfect machinery, but it adds no moral restraints to protect society from the misuse of the machine. It can also build gigantic intellectual ships, but it constructs no moral rudders for the control of storm tossed human vessel. It not only fails to supply the spiritual element needed but some of its unproven hypotheses rob the ship of its compass and thus endangers its cargo.” HumansSpiritualScienceForcePerfectMoralTeacherFailingNeededProtectElementsIntellectualMachinesAccountsAddStormShipsMagnificentRestraintConstructsHypothesisCompassMachineryVesselMisuseBryanCargoRudders Book:William Jennings Bryan on Orthodoxy, Modernism, and Evolution Source: William Jennings Bryan on Orthodoxy, Modernism, and Evolution
