Peter Watts Quotes
We've Surpassed Ourselves Now, We're Exploring Terrain Beyond The Limits Of Merely Human Understanding. Sometimes Its Contours, Even In Conventional Space, Are Just Too Intricate For Our Brains To Track; Other Times Its Very Axes Extend Into Dimensions Inconceivable To Minds Built To Fuck And Fight On Some Prehistoric Grassland. So Many Things Constrain Us, From So Many Directions. The Most Altruistic And Sustainable Philosophies Fail Before The Brute Brain-stem Imperative Of Self-interest. Subtle And Elegant Equations Predict The Behavior Of The Quantum World, But None Can Explain It. After Four Thousand Years We Can't Even Prove That Reality Exists Beyond The Mind Of The First-person Dreamer. We Have Such Need Of Intellects Greater Than Our Own. But We're Not Very Good At Building Them.
