起 Solipsism

Clarke’s Law

When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.

62 년생 범띠

Perhaps the adjective “elderly” requires definition. In physics, mathematics, and astronautics it means over thirty; in the other disciplines, senile decay is sometimes postponed to the forties. There are, of course, glorious exceptions; but as every researcher just out of college knows, scientists of over fifty are good for nothing but board meetings, and should at all costs be kept out of the laboratory!

Human nature hasn’t changed in a very long time, and the veneer of technology that we’ve layered onto our lives hardly alters this fact.

— L. Weinstein, “Harvard Needs More Hackers," NYT (Op-Ed) 3/16/2005(1972)

Fischer on Urbanism

• Urbanism generally increases people’s ac-cess to people like themselves and to peo-ple unlike themselves -- simply by increas-ing the sheer numbers of both.

Fischer on Urbanism

• For people whose status is a majority or plurality, the increase in dissimilars that ur-banism brings may be of more conse-quence since they are now available in large numbers for the first time. The result: In cities majority people may know more minority people; they tend toward net-works heterogeneity.

Fischer on Urbanism

• For people in minority status, the increase in people similar to themselves is more consequential since they now have a large pool of like people to choose from for the first time. The result: In cities minority peo-ple know more minority people like them-selves; they tend toward network homo-geneity.
