___________________________________________________________________ /\ \ \_| Jan 2, 1920: Isaac Asimov (Science Fiction Day) | | | | Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent. | | | | The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers | | knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom. | | | | Humanity has the stars in its future, and that future is too | | important to be lost under the burden of juvenile folly and | | ignorant superstition. | | | | To surrender to ignorance and call it God... has always been | | premature, and it remains premature today. | | | | There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there | | has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been | | a constant thread winding its way through our political and | | cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy | | means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge. | | | | Never let your sense of morals get in the way of doing what's | | right. | | | | Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's | | troublesome. | | | | | | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_Asimov | | ______________________________________________________________|_ \_/________________________________________________________________/
