Old but Interesting Quote


Dec 16, 2020, 11:17 AM

"The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gains wisdom."---Isaac Asimov

Seems even more true now.

I think that Asimov quote partners well with the attached.

BTW, if you are unfamiliar with Asimov, he was a brilliant science AND science fiction writer who wrote over 200 books in his lifetime. Also bitchinest sideburns ever !!

Funny you cite that quote but disagree with republicans attempting to "independently observe" election ballot counting.

"I believe in observation confirmed by independent observers."

Typical hypocrisy. YCMTSU.

Kurt Vonnegut:

"I am honorary president of the American Humanist Association, having succeeded the late, great science fiction writer Isaac Asimov in that functionless capacity. We Humanists try to behave well without any expectation of rewards or punishments in an afterlife. We serve as best we can the only abstraction with which we have any real familiarity, which is our community.

We had a memorial services for Isaac a few years back, and at one point I said, ''Isaac is up in Heaven now.'' It was the funniest thing I could have said to a group of Humanists. I rolled them in the aisles. It was several minutes before order could be restored. And if I should ever die, God forbid, I hope you will say, ''Kurt is up in Heaven now.'' That’s my favorite joke."

The fact that the President of the United States

will not be tweeting like this next year with his finger on the nukes, is an amazing feeling.

There's plenty enough of this to go around.

This from a truly wise man:

10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.


Imo, pointing out the foolishness of others is no refuge for me.
