All you knotty-pated fools, fen-sucked flapdragons and blubbering blatherskites who say that money doesn’t buy happiness — if you haven’t ever been poor, sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up.

You don’t know a thing.

That is all.

The race we don’t know we’re in is the one to create our successors before complete climate and ecological collapse.

It’s still a long race, but shorter than most people imagine.

The Singularity adherents and those opposing them are both wrong. Curiously but not surprisingly given history, they are both wrong in ways that completely occlude the debates we should be having.

We are in the stage now of debating which buggy whip is best to use on an automobile.

That will last a while.
