“At one point, approximately halfway through her remarks, Merkel stated in German something about ‘being able to greet the president of the United States of America, Barack Obama,’ and an overly ambitious Obama, who perhaps thought that was his cue, headed toward the podium. Perhaps catching the president’s movement out of the corner of her eye, Merkel thought quickly, and without even looking up from her notes, she told the excited American president, in English, ‘Not yet, dear Mr. President, dear Barack Obama.’ Obama sheepishly returned to his seat to allow the chancellor to finish her speech.”

“In her usual manner, Merkel spoke in German. It is worth pointing out, however, that before the translator had an opportunity to convert her statements to English, Obama gave the chancellor and the press a big smile, saying, ‘I think what she said was good. I’m teasing.’ The laughter in the room drowned out the sounds of the cameras clicking and flashing, with Merkel’s giggle and smile among the loudest.”

“Your comfort zone is a place where you keep yourself in a self-illusion and nothing can grow there but your potentiality can grow only when you can think and grow out of that zone.”

“To those peoples in the huts and villages of half the globe struggling to break the bonds of mass misery, we pledge our best efforts to help them help themselves, for whatever period is required - not because the Communists may be doing it, not because we seek their votes, but because it is right. If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.”

“This could be my Everest, man—no, no, even better. Hacking a military AI? Wow, man, that’s like, that’s like going to Mars, dude, yeah, like Mars!”

“First, she had been unconsciously absorbing this virginity rule
without ever questioning it. Second . . . it struck her that virginity
was a male fetish wrapped tightly around another male fetish called
“purity.” Emma was certain that whoever originated the concept of virginity
was a man.”

“I would say that introverts make some of the best international philosophers. The less common attribute of the introverted lifestyle - a close societal connection, as such a connection disappears or changes in relevance as the currents of the winds change - leaves too much room for one's own cultural bias. Instead, introverts tend to turn inward, the laboratory of being and all its forms. This is the most accurate study of the individual human being, which is in turn, rather than those affected by cultural limitations, the most universal reflection of human understanding and human behavior.”

“So then, a test for singularity would be the point at which an AI can create another viable and conscious AI. Singularity must include not only intelligence, but also self-awareness, self-determination, and self-conception.”

“Even the brightest human minds require a mentor to guide them. The assumption that an AI can teach itself by simply absorbing random information is ludicrous. If we want a computer to think like a human, we should train them as one.”

“Capitalism and communism were two sides of the same coin of control. Control the capital and you control the economy. Control the economy and you can control the people.”

“From one small spark a bushfire grows.
Sellers of misery are our foes.
Merging ruthlessly tongues of flame.
Point your finger at those to blame.”

“Wären die Hitze und die architektonischen Entgleisungen Antoni Gaudís nicht gewesen, die daran erinnerten, dass man sich tatsächlich in Barcelona befand, man hätte meinen können, wir wären gar nicht verreist. Die Trams waren von derselben schnittigen Bauart wie zu Hause, in den Cafés saßen Freelancer mit ihren dickrandingen Brillen an Notebooks und Lesegeräten, die sich so geheimnisvoll und so magisch mit dem Zeigefinger auf dem Display bedienen lassen. Im Taxi vom Flughafen erspähten wir auf der Autobahn ein Schild eines Möbelgeschäfts, das uns sehr vertraut war. Die kleinen weißen Plastikkarten, die die Schlüssel in Hotel abgelöst haben, glichen vollkommen denjenigen in Wuppertal oder Frankfurt, selbst die Toilettenschlüssel und Armaturenbretter im Badezimmer waren vom selben Fabrikat wie in meiner Wohnung. Das womöglich allerletzte Disinktionsmerkmal des Südens gegenüber dem Norden, schien es mir, war die deutlich höhere Verbreitung des Bidets.”

“It feels like going home, same as always, and opening the door to find all these people there: someone who feels like an old friend even though we’ve never met, someone who means the world to me but I can never see again, somebody crying, somebody laughing, people from far away—and I’m there, too. We don’t talk about anything special, but we’re all there, just sharing time.”
