Stewart Brand Quote: “One advantage of a solar collector in space: It would be some kind of origami thing that would unfold and be relatively light because it doesn’t have gravity to deal with.”
Stewart Brand Quote: “When roles shift, ideologies have to shift, and ideologies hate to shift. The workaround is pragmatism – “a practical way of thinking concerned with results rather than with theories and principles.” The shift is deeper than moving from one ideology to another; the shift is to discard ideology entirely.”
Stewart Brand Quote: “The amusements of broadcast consist mainly of songs, stories, and games, just as in tribal life. The songs and stories are mostly about courtship, the games mostly played by men, just as in tribal life.”
Stewart Brand Quote: “Want to know where the action in a culture is? Watch where new language is turning up and where the lawyers collect, usually in that sequence.”
Stewart Brand Quote: “Likewise, with solar, especially here in California, we’re discovering that the 80 solar farm schemes that are going forward want to basically bulldoze 1,000 sq. mi. of southern California desert. Well, as an environmentalist, we would rather that didn’t happen.”
Stewart Brand Quote: “Historians will consider this a dark age. Science historians can read Galileos technical correspondence from the 1590s but not Marvin Minskys from the 1960s.”
Stewart Brand Quote: “Civilization’s shortening attention span is mismatched with the pace of environmental problems.”
Stewart Brand Quote: “In the genre of science fiction it is more important to be fruitfully mistaken than dully accurate. That’s why we are science fiction writers, not scientists.”
Stewart Brand Quote: “Imagine a world in which time seems to vanish and space becomes completely malleable. Where the gap between need or desire and fulfillment collapses to zero.”
Stewart Brand Quote: “When a generation talks just to itself, it becomes more filled with folly than it might have otherwise.”
Stewart Brand Quote: “You own your own words, unless they contain information. In which case they belong to no one.”
Stewart Brand Quote: “The scale of forces, this time, is planetary; the scope is centuries; the stakes are what we call civilization; and it is all taking place at the headlong speed of self-accelerating human technologies and climatic turbulence. Talk of “saving the planet” is overstated, however. Earth will be fine, no matter what; so will life. It is humans who are in trouble. But since we got ourselves into this fix, we should be able to get ourselves out of it.”
Stewart Brand Quote: “What does it take to build something so that it’s really easy to make comfortable little modifications in a way that once you’ve made them, they feel integral with the nature and structure of what is already there? You want to be able to mess around with it and progressively change it to bring it into an adapted state with yourself, your family, the climate, whatever. This kind of adaptation is a continuous process of gradually taking care.”
Stewart Brand Quote: “But all of that civilized sophistication could collapse if carrying capacities everywhere are lowered by severe climate change. Humanity would revert to its norm of constant battles for diminishing resources. Peace lovers would be killed and eaten by war lovers.”
Stewart Brand Quote: “Do what’s good for humans, modeled on how humans already do things; ignore what’s convenient for computers.”
Stewart Brand Quote: “This is pretty much the infrastructural stuff that comes along with large quantities of energy. Whichever technology we are looking at has serious hazardous issues.”
Stewart Brand Quote: “The scale of the climate challenge is so vast that it cannot be met solely by grassroots groups and corporations, no matter how Green. The situation requires government fiat to set rules and enforce them. Specifically, the four major energy-using governments – the European Union, the United States, China, and India – have to get tough. If all four do the right thing, there’s hope. So far the European governments have led the way.”
Stewart Brand Quote: “Bots are at best narrow AI, nothing that would make a cleric remotely nervous. But they would scare the hell out of epidemiologists who understand that parasites don’t need to be smart to be dangerous.”
Stewart Brand Quote: “Reinventing beats inventing nearly every time.”
