| 407f7f0 | The real danger, I think, is not that machines more intelligent than we are will usurp our role as captains of our destinies, but that we will over-estimate the comprehension of our latest thinking tools, prematurely ceding authority to them far beyond their competence. | Daniel C. Dennett | ||
| c3647b6 | This is natural selection, plain as day: the islanders have a simple rule: if it returns from the sea intact, copy it! They may have considerable comprehension of the principles of naval architecture that retrospectively endorse their favorite designs, but it is strictly unnecessary. | Daniel C. Dennett | ||

| 2987dd0 | does require anyone who makes the trip to abandon some precious intuitions, but I think that I have at last found ways of making the act of jettisoning these "obvious truths" not just bearable but even delightful: it turns your head inside out, in a way, yielding some striking new perspectives on what is going on." | Daniel C.
