I think we'll take a positive and active role in determining the direction technology goes in, not just sit on the beach and have machines serve us martinis. (Marvin Minsky)

(...)the fact remains that those actively opposing the advance of science and technology are also working against the well-being of the less fortunate citizens of this planet. Humanism and science are today, as in the past, intricately interrelated in the endeavor not only to understand the world but also to make it a better place for all who call it home.
(Thomas R. DeGregori)

“It's the mind, our thoughts and consciousness that we desperately want to
preserve. If we look at technological developments as a whole, that may be
exactly what’s happening. The ongoing revolution in information and
biotechnology may be interpreted as the mind’s liberation from the genes.
It’s difficult to imagine the alternative, but if I could see a thousand years into the future, I would be very surprised if earth is still dominated by two-legged creatures with a limited life span”.
(Jarle Breivik)
