Eliezer Yudkowsky Quotes

When You Do A Fault Analysis, There's No Point In Assigning Fault To A Part Of The System You Can't Change Afterward, It's Like Stepping Off A Cliff And Blaming Gravity. Gravity Isn't Going To Change Next Time. There's No Point In Trying To Allocate Responsibility To People Who Aren't Going To Alter Their Actions. Once You Look At It From That Perspective, You Realize That Allocating Blame Never Helps Anything Unless You Blame Yourself, Because You're The Only One Whose Actions You Can Change By Putting Blame There.
