Jean-Jacques Rousseau

I am convinced that those who get themselves involved in the machinery of power politics, even for the purpose of destroying it, are bound to fail in their purpose.

The desire to keep contact with something, even to destroy it, is a subtle and insidious illusion.

Jen Sincero

I imagine if you're one of those genius people working on AI, the desire to find out what's possible is presumably the driving factor, but I hope there are just as many people who are thinking about what we actually want.
